I am so sorry you are going through this! I am just wondering though....what size bougie did your surgeon use? I am having surgery on 6/17 and found out mine uses a 40f. I questioned him that it sounded much larger than others here on the board and he told me the smaller the bougie, more chance for complications such as you describe. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and pray that it is just a healing issue and you will be fine. {{{hugs}}}

Dr. D is my doctor too! I was banded in Mexico in 3/10 and Dr. D has taken care of me ever since. He is the most caring and patient doctor I have ever been to. I am having my band removed and revision to VSG surgery with him on 6/17. Although I am within 10 lbs of my goal with the band, we both agree that the and isn't working for me at all. I have had more fills/unfills than I can count. I am so looking forward to a better quality of life with the sleeve! I will update you all and wish you all good luck in your journey!

Wow, you look fantastic. Thank you for posting this! I am having revision surgery from band to VSG on 6/17. I was banded 3/10 and have lost 55 lbs and still have another 20 to go. I have been filled/unfilled more times than I can count so I am praying this is the answer for me!

I am having my revision to VSG from the band on 6/17 and cannot wait! I love following your journey! Thank you for sharing.
