Question:
What is a Lap Band Revision and why would one need a revision?

Hi, the reason people need a revision from the LapBand is because it failed... I had the lapband and after 2.5 years we found out I was allergic to it... my body totally rejected having a foreign object in it. So the only way to go was to the RNY(or DS if your insurance pays for it). Other's have had erosion problems or where it was not a good tool for them in their weightloss journey... Hope this helps explain it.
