Please re-direct me if this is a topic that's already being discussed.
I've had a Lap Band since 2006, lost 130 pounds, kept if off until last year, and considered it to be very successful. Unfortunately, in the past few months, I've had esophageal problems, had to have the saline removed, and am scheduled to have my band removed in a couple of weeks. I'm very sad about this, as it literally changed my life. (I've gained back not nearly all, but a significant amount of weight since the saline was removed)
In a few months after the band removal, I will be able to have another surgery, either gastric sleeve or bypass. I'm leaning toward the bypass. Can anyone with experience with a similar situation give me any advice, information, etc. Any input or direction to other posts or articles would be greatly appreciated!
