  1. Hi, I had a band put in in 2006 at WLSC in KC. I had great success - 100 lb. loss. The band prolapsed and my original surgeon was not available so another surgeon stated that it had to be removed and could not be replaced. That was in 2009. I then regained all of my weight. I was very upset and was told I couldn't have the band put back in. I then went to another doctor (Dr. Stanley Hoehn) to see about a gastric sleeve. I had the sleeve done in 2011. I had some complications in that I got quite sick after the surgery. I had upper GI done and was told nothing wrong. I originally lost about 20 pounds, but after that nothing. I went back to see Dr. Hoehn on numerous occasions and no solution was found. I decided to keep trying on my own. I didn't have a restriction like my band. In fact, I could eat anything I wanted and still can. I have again contacted Dr. Hoehn to see what I can do. I am waiting to hear back from him for an appointment. What do you all suggest? Has anyone had a revision of their sleeve? Before having it done did you have another upper GI or barium test? What results should I look for? Should I have to pay for the revision? Especially since I didn't lose any weight and asked for help 3 years ago? Has anyone else gone to Dr. Hoehn? I really like him, but just felt he didn't know what to do with me when I wasn't losing weight. Would I be better off having the DS or another surgery rather than a revision of the sleeve? I don't want to keep going back for a major surgery every 3 years.
