Third times a charm... I hope.

I had a lap-band in 2005 and had it removed in December 2010 and they tried to convert to a Gastric bypass. Well there were adhesion's and they could not safely cut through it, also my liver was fused to my stomach. Re-tried in March of 2011 to see if things were any better (it was not). So on July 15th I will be going in once again. I'm hoping with over two years of healing it will be successful. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Oh, I"m praying they can help you.  It just fumes me more when all I heard about LapBand is how "Less invasive" it is than any other procedure.  From revisions like yours, it seems to be one of the most damaging and invasive wls out there.

I'll be leaving for the hospital in 12 hours. I'm not nervous about having surgery. I'm worried the scar tissue is still to thick for them to perform either the bypass or sleeve. But I trust the surgeons and will hope for a good outcome.
