I've been overweight my entire life, first tried the lap band in 2008 and had a revision to the switch in 2011.   Never really been able to lose weight even with the switch, had no restriction.   I thought that weight loss surgery just isn't for me and have been trying to lose weight other ways.   I have a very bad knee that the doctor says needs to be replaced but they won't do it since I weigh too much.   I have been worried that I will eventually not be able to walk so decided in July 2024 to go to a different weight loss surgeon to discuss why the switch wasn't working for me.   The new surgeon found that my stomach was too large and said he could fix that and adjust the length of the switch so I had revision surgery on 10/31/24.
