Today was my surgery from RNY in 2005 to gastric banding I woke up to find out that there was too much scar tissue around my stoma they removed the scar tissue and he also said there was a leak and repaired that also, told me to be back in the office in one week for follow up to discuss next option.
Thank you! I'm going to get this done! Would I be crazy to consider another band then?
I certainly think it would be beyond crazy to get another band.

Do NOT get another lapband! That could very likely lead to worse (and possibly irreversible) health problems.

I had my lapband removed 6+ months ago
ever since I've been complaining of stomach pain and acid reflux. They did a barium and it showed a sliding hiatus hernia (I knew I had it and surgeon didn't fix it prior to inserting the band). I've also had a colonoscopy which is clear. If you see my tummy and I can post pics it looks like a balloon. It doesn't look like a fat tummy but rather a ballon. Im having acid and tummy pain and I feel like food is sitting In my chest. What should I do?
you need to have an EGD, a scope of your stomach, to see more than what can be seen on the other tests.
If you have seen a gastroenterologist, I am very surprised this hasn't already been done.
Unfortunalely, the damage done from a band can be permanent and theses issues may not ever resolve.
Perfect! I'm glad it's consistent with what I've read. I don't go to the Kane center. I'm in Minnesota.
