Meet w/ my surgeon on Friday....I had lapband 3 yrs ago and had to have it removed just 3 mons after getting it.  Well he said that when he goes in to do the RNY my pouch might have to be slightly bigger than a regular RNY because of possible scar tissue due to the lapband slippage....he said that my pouch would be thinner and longer...called it a "linear pouch".  He wont know till he gets in there. 

Just wondering if anybody else out there had a revision from lap band and how you are doing weight loss wise.


Thanks so much!!

You should post that question in the revision forum.
