I still have the lapband but and going for rny and when I had my EDG my Dr asked why I wasn't thinking of having the sleeve but then after the test came back in and said that with how I look inside I might not have a choice and have to go with the rny due to GERD and irregularities in my z-line. I'm ok with that. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App -

What do you wish you'd known before lap band surgery?
ShrinkingMeme replied to Sarah A's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yes total agree on the pressure issues I can no longer handle bass it tightens my band up so much I can't swallow for like 2 hours. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App -
What do you wish you'd known before lap band surgery?
ShrinkingMeme replied to Sarah A's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I wish I would have known that it wouldn't work for me and it would cause me more problems. That I would have episode after episode for the last 5 years. And now have to have a revision to rny. I wish I would have known I would gain all my weight back and my comorbidities would all have come back. I wish I would have gone with the rny in the first place Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App -
Help me - I think I am going a little crazy
ShrinkingMeme replied to Butsy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I am so sorry you and dealing with all this. I think it's time to look for a different dr or push to look at getting your lap band revised to either a sleeve or gastric bypass. I am not having the same problems as you but having other problems silent reflux that is now GERD, only lost 55 lbs and have gained it all back, intolerance to the band and my bareatric center is looking to do a rivision to gastric bypass. I had my band in 2011. And hope to be rny ed by the end of the year. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App -

Hello, I am also going for a revision to the gastric bypass. I'm hoping to have it done by end of the year. How is it going for you? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Good for you. I am hoping to go from band to gastric. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App It's going good I have my "new patient" apt for the rny on the 18th and will go from there. Doing ugh better since a slight unfill and starting meds for the GERD. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

Deffanatly get your band checked there have been many bad side affects from it and many revisions to the sleeve or rny due to weight gain and your body not tolerating it. The only able to take 2 bites at a time sounds like that. I am currently going for a revision to rny cause I have gained back all my weight and now have GERD from the band. I have an intolerance to the band as well regular PBing no fun. Good luck and msg me if you have any questions. Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App
