Thanks

I am revising to RNY from the band, but when I was talking through the options with my surgeon she said that she has done a bunch of revisions from band to both RNY and sleeve, but no matter the surgery, she has never had a patient say they weren't able to eat a whole lot healthier with the the new surgery.

if your band expereince is like mine, eating anything involves immense chest pressure, frequent vomiting and a tremendous amount of acid reflux. I'm told that the sleeve also often has reflux as a side effect, but other than that every thing should be different. I'm looking forward to eating without pain!

I went from the band to RNY so I am not exactly what you are looking for, however I will say this.  My reflux and GERD is gone!  And I have true restriction that does not change throughout the day.
