I seen my lap band surgeon today, I got a fill under Fluoroscopy to check my esophagus and pouch. I got some saline removed last December when I got irritated from "eating too much" -- hey sometimes we get complacent and forget the rules
...so I decided to give my band a long rest.
But I think I rested a bit too long because I did not like what the scale registered
-- BUT NO PROBLEM - SUZIE MY LAP BAND CAME TO THE RESCUE AND I GOT RESTRICTION AGAIN AND IS STILL KICKING IN FULL FORCE AT 7 YEARS POST OP
MY BAND HAS BEEN JUMP STARTED -- NO NEED FOR A REVISION
I GOT A BUILT IN TOOL INSIDE OF ME-- READY AND WAITING FOR ME TO COOPERATE

Well...a revision can be a revision to the lap band itself by removing the existing band and replacing it if there is a defect or band slippage or if the patinet failed to lose acceptable weight OR... often times if someone suffers band damage (slippage) they may have the option to revise over to the another weight loss surgery such as the Sleeve, RNY or DS.
I lost my weight by walking about 30 mintues to 1 hour each day and following up with my surgeon for needed fills to keep my meals small.
