I was banded 12/3 and heading out today for surgery again. They are not for sure if its scar tissue or a faulty band until they can get it in and take a look. So best case scenario is port revision, worst case is complete band procedure all over again. Trying to stay positive but I could use some positive thoughts and prayers today. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everyone. I'm home now and the dr said it was the line had a kink in it and so he did a port revision. I'm relieved it wasn't the band itself. I do feel pretty sore just like the first time but don't have the horrible gas pains this time around. This is a Lil bump in the road and soon be back on my way in my journey. Thanks again everyone. ???ƒ

Thanks and hope things are going well for you. It does suck going through the post op stages again. Hopefully this is just a minor setback and all is good now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
