I've had 2 failed bands,now finally getting rny!!anyone else?
Thank you, yes i had first in 2005; slipped.. second 2009.. and the doc thought it would be fun to leave a hole in my stomach.. which deteriorated the band and almost caused me to die with sepsis in 2011; had it removed.. now 2 and half years later ; going in for the RIGHT choice for me... RNY Been a long road getting here, just excited and nervous
I am a very happy Band to RNY revision. I've had 7 abdominal surgeries (RNY revision was my 5th) and that wasn't a concern for me. RNY is very different from being Banded - no choking, getting stuck or vomiting back what does't go through, etc. At least that's been my experience. I lost 110% of my EWL and am now learning maintenance. There are quite a few of us on this site - you may have more response on the Revision board.
Good luck with your surgery - third time's the charm I'm sure!
