New to this board
Had LapBand in 2003. Went from 290 to 215 within about 2 years. But last 2-3 years I have had nothing but problems. Severe regurgitation, weight gain, etc. Saw Dr. David im (Colleyville, TX) today to discuss revision surgery. He is considering my options and I have another appointment next Friday. We are leaning toward gastric bypass instead of a newer band. Has anyone on this board had revision from band to bypass? Thanks!
I also had the band in 2003 with nothing but issues. It has taken over 3 years and
I am glad I waited because on 1/18 I had the DS. Still in the post op stages and struggles, but, no regrets, I already feel better and pressure relief from where my port was under my sternum. I was originally thinking bypass until my friends started gaining weight back and so I looked at different options. I am glad I did. Good luck on making your decision!

If you want the best odds of losing all your excess weight and keeping it off for good. you owe it to yourself to research the DS.
