hello guys. I'm new to this group. I had lapband in September of 2016. I never lost any weight. Not even a pound. It just wasn' for me. It would be either too right or tool lose but it never seemed to work. I went to two different doctors... anyways my question is can I get a second surgery if my insurance already covered the lapband????

Hello.. I had VBG done in October of 2002 in Lubbock tx. I lost over 100lbs, but have since gained it all back. I vomit multiple times a day and have since about 6 months out. I have converted to adaptive eating (soft foods, ice cream, mashed potatoes, soups) which I know has led to my weight gain. I had an evaluation with a bariatric surgeon in my hometown. My Endoscopy showed a 1cm size outlet from my pouch into my stomach but according to him, everything looked intact. My EGD showed severe reflux which I ended up vomiting all I had ingested before the images were taken. I'm looking for a bariatric surgeon to do a revision in Texas. From what I hear this is a complicated surgery. Has anyone had this experience and or recommend someone for me to see?? Thank You.

I am surprised any DR would do RNY at at weight of 175 ?? But good luck

Hello! I passed! Lots and lots of water and Vitamin C, and I passed as a nonsmoker that hangs around a few smokers, at least that's what it said when I looked up the level determinations. Good luck! I wasn't ready either, but I kept telling myself- to lose weight, it's worth it to me!

I just saw a surgeon today after having the lap band slip after 10 1/2 years and the surgeon said he can do it all in one procedure. good luck to you: I personally was doing good and got down to 137 lbs from 280 lbs with the band until I got pneumonia twice within six months so now I will have to have surgery no matter what.
