Confused on which get best results band over bypass or endoscopic gastro jejunostomy

Man, don't I know it....I found out the hard way. :( I wish I had had the sleeve from the beginning now. Now, I am looking at 3 surgeries instead on just one.

I found out the hard way, too. It was over 9 years ago that I had the band and I'm still paying for it in lots of ways. I also had multiple 'corrective' surgeries. The band is just bad news all the way around. It's so damaging to so many people. I'm sorry you're going through it, Gorditabonita.

 The only info I could find on new procedure that. I am praying I will get... I see the nutritionist  next Tuesday then off for approval via bcbs of ill HMO.. Praying to get approved. i will post all results etc asap. Michelle www.youtube.com/watch

 hope this helps..

 Yikes, are you sure you want to be their guinea pig???

Please look for a revision surgeon that isn't practicing something new, with ZERO track record. You deserve better. I'd start with the ones MsBatt mentioned above, and no others.

What a lovely dog you have. (*grin*)

Okay---THAT was a scary video.

It might work, but I personally wouldn't want to risk getting a stricture that can't be dilated. I still urge you to consider revision to either the Sleeve or the DS.

 Wow Its look like it a great option.. hmmm

Please understand what I'm saying----IF it worked perfectly, as described, every time---it would INDEED be a great option.  All I'm asking is---what sort of long-term stats does it have? Does your surgeon have a number of long-term (like, 5+ years out) patients who are happy and satisifed with this procedure?  What sort of failure rate does this have? Does your insurance cover it? Will having this keep you from having any other sort of revision later on? WILL IT MAKE YOU HAPPY???

This is your SECOND chance to get WLS right. Don't waste it.

From what I  gather it has much better re****s than bob. which was the only other option my ins covers. This option yes it has been out for more than 5 years in test patients.No it will not keep me from having another surgery my dr said if i didnt work redo it make stomach smaller or bob. which i really dont want.This is what i really need my stomach smaller I dont feel I would lose much with BOB.
