That sound like my story. I was banded in 2008. Had a revision in 2010 because of slippage. Around June 2012 I started having bad acid reflux, vomiting in the middle of night. Dr suggested removing all fluid and I was a little better. We both decided to remove and get sleeved. Also my band port was in a bad position. It was hard to get fills. They had to stick me several times even while under xray machine (cant think of proper name). The dr that will be doing my sleeve did not band me. Band was removed sept 10. I will be sleeved on jan 14. My insurance approved me with no problem. Now I getting nervous. But looking foreword to losing the weight again.
