Lap Band removal

Sorry to hear you're also having the Vagus nerve issues, Phrazzledmom. SO many of us have experienced this!  Those nerves run from the base of the brain down into the stomach (and through the diaphragm) and if anything irritates them, you get that pain. It's common with gastric banding... but not many people know of it going INTO surgery. I know I didn't.

I wish you the best of luck with your revision.

(My hubby is from Eau Claire and hung out in Chippewa Falls a lot. Beautiful area!) 

Kelly how long have u been having complicatioins?

Definately do not get another band! While I'm very pro band, according to my surgeon there's no reason to think that another band is the right thing to do unless it's your only option.  What's the definition of insanity?  Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.  If the sleeve is an option I would personally do that once you are completely healed.

Best wishes~

I completely agree with Lisa. In no way should you consider another band if the one you have is not doing you right. Carefully evaluate all your posibillities and take it from there. Good luck to you.
