Band Replacement
Hello Fellow Bandsters I have not posted on this board in a long while. I have been having problems with my band for the last two years and Dr. is recommending replacement. He states the band has improved a great deal since I had surgery. I have gained 65 lbs. Questions has anyone had their band replaced? Should I convert to bypass? Thanks. For people contemplating the band please do not fear your decision I had a relatively good experience with my band and should have followed up with my Dr. sooner to address my band issue. I have not been able to maintain an adjustment for some time and just got use to eating again.
hey there liz, sorry to hear your having problems. What kind of problems are you having with it ? im 6 months out and have not had any problems . I really hope it stays that way,I think the thing i have some concern about is errossion into the stomach. My docter says it happens to about 5% of his patients. Anyway good luck on what you decide to do.
