I had the band for 4 years. I had it removed oct 21st now sleeved nov 9th. Reflux Is not really there anymore. I do burp frequently which is a bit frustrating. The first 3days the reflux was there. I had major reflux,slipped band and it was growing into my liver. Thank god for the sleeve! Good Luck

My reflux/heartburn was so bad with the band I would lay in bed in agony....that's one reason why I had it out.
I've only been sleeved for 2 weeks but so far so good!
I still burp a lot too but that is minor!

WOOHOO!!!!!!  Been revised from band to sleeve 7 weeks now!!!!!!!!!! Happy as a clam :0
 
So thankful for the sleeve, God bless those who have or are going to get the band. Wouldn't go back there for a million bucks!

I am a revision from the band out 3 weeks now and LOVE it.  I have had no reflux at all!  I had it on occasion with the band but when I did it was pretty bad.  I had to have the band out via emergency surgery in March...had my revision on Halloween!

Hi Karenbarb,
I only get reflux when I take 'one too many bites of food' now that I'm sleeved.  
Stay optimistic that you will not have any reflux concerns after the revision. The Sleeve tool is totally different than the LapBand. Good Luck.
