Considering revision from the band.

No luck with the band here either! Been almost a yr. 13 fills. No restriction, n now port is flipped some. COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!

If I could afford it I would revise to VSG.....RNY...........DS......ANYTHING BUT THE BAND!!!!

I had the lap band done in October 2007, lost about 50#.  Got really sick and had a complete unfill ever since then it was horrible.  I finally had it removed earlier this year.  I had intended to have RNY done at the same time but my band had slipped and caused some damage to my stomach and my dr felt it best to wait a few months and then do RNY.  I have an EGD scheduled early December and if all is good I will be having RNY last week in December.  I have become anti band.  In my opinion it is a temporary fix and I think doctors pu**** so much because of the money them make off of the fills and after care maintenance. 

I had my band in 11/06  I did well I lost almost 100 pounds....  however  3- 1/2 years later my reflux came back with a vengance and I had to be completly unfilled. and regained 50 pounds back :(   I was going to have the sleeve - but was advised against it due to my severe reflux- I was told there is a chance with the sleeve that the GERD can actually get worse - so I went with the Roux I had my surgery 9-21-10 since then I have had NO GERD at all !!!!!!!!!!! and I am down 24 pounds !!!!!  

I must admit I was scared of the roux too - but not having and GERD is great and well worth it  I have had no problems since surgery
