I had my revision surgery on 1/14 and feel it's the best decision I have made.....no regrets. The band was nothing but one problem after another. Good luck.

Same here. Been 13 weeks since my revision and it's like it was never there. Best decision I have ever made!

How funny - this has been on my mind all day. Have been walking and complaining all morning because my heels (that I proudly can wear now) are flip flopping every time I walk. Think it's time go give them up.

I agree. I had revsion surgery on 1/14 and I have no regrets. I feel great and don't have the constant worry of something getting stuck or throwing up. I also had lost about 60 lbs when I first got the band but gained it all back. Definitely feel the restriction now that I did not with the band.

Congratulations

I actually went through my closet this weekend and pulled out everything that was too big. Have started to wear things that were hidden way back in the closet and even some of those are too big. I actually had to go and buy a couple of slacks for work because mine were just to baggy. My husband kept insisting that I buy more clothes but I hate to spend money on things that I hope not to wear for very long. Waiting for vacation in July and will probably buy some things then. It is however an awesome feeling to get rid of the 'big" clothes!

NSV - Went to see my internist on Monday and he has taken me off of all my meds!!! Only taking my supplements...mult-vitamin, calcium and B12. So very happy!!

My Dr. said he does not like coffee because of the reflux it may cause. Told me to try and if no issues, then it was fine. I have no issues with it but am not a big coffee drinker - about 2 cups in one week.

I had my revison surgery on January 14th and have had minimal issues. So glad to have gotten rid of that band and all the issues that came with it. Good luck!

That's great. Congratulations!!

I had the band for 5 years and lots of problems with it along the way. Had my revision surgery on January 14th and feel it's the best thing I could have done.

I had surgery on 1/14/13 and this happened to me too. The last two weeks, no weight loss at all and this morning I weighed myself and had lost 4 lbs. Total lost since surgery is now 22 lbs.
