I am about to call the Davis clinic. Can you share more about the process and of the revision and the hospital stay and recovery?

I have the Molina band i***** and am looking for a surgeon to remove and do a revision at the same time. Can you please share your experience with me and who you used? Are you pleased with your decision. I am desperate!

Thank you for sharing your story. I too have a Molina band that I have had since 1994 and want to have a revision. Are you happy you had this done and were you pleased with the surgeon you chose? Please share an update on yourself ...

Did you have the surgery to remove the Molina band? If so, how did things go and who was the surgeon that performed this operation? My sister had a non-adjustable gastric band placed by Dr. Molina in 1992. She is now having life-threatening complications directly resulting from this band. We are all searching for a solution as quickly as possible to save her life.

She found a doctor by the name of Vadim Sherman at Houston Methodist. There isn't a lot of information about the success of this surgery.

Anything that you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

How did things work out? My story is similar to yours. I too am so scared. The band that Dr. Molina placed in me is close to my esphogas. I am trying to find someone to do a revision. It is hard to locate a doctor that will take me. I live in Chcago. But i will fly to Texas or anywhere.

I will go anywhere also, but I really want the band removed and a revision at the same time. Please share your experience with me. [email protected]

My story is just like yours ... did you find a doctor to do revision?
