I appriciate the well wishes and the consern....i am prepared for that possiablity, my doc has a very good recored and does all adjustmnet under florascope. I did consider other surgeries, but i am not comfortable with the mal absortion part, and i did very well with the SRVBG untill it opoened up. again thanks for your suport and concern!!!!
I can understand not being comfortable with malabsorption but have you looked at the sleeve? It seems that people are happier with the sleeve and there are no fills or unfills to worry about yet you still have restriction.

There are people who have fought and WON!!!!! Please, at least make a post on the Sleeve board, and ask about appeals!!!! You owe that much to yourself!!!!
