Had surgery Feb 12 to remove band and get sleeve but, too much scar tissue so they only removed the band. There were lots of people getting surgery but I was the only one still in recovery for 8 hours. I couldn't get out of the anesthesia. It's happened before. Oxygen level was low so I was on oxygen for the duration. Finally, I was released. I was sooo upset cause I didn't want to go back again to have another surgery but the Dr thought it was best this way. For 3 days I felt miserable cause I had 4 incisions and they hurt. The pain meds were making me very dizzy so i stopped taking them and held the pain. I was able to work after a week. I've been scheduled for the sleeve for this March 19. I'm a bit scared cause I hate to be in pain and know how sick it makes me. Hopefully, it should go well.

OMG! I am scheduled on 3/26 to have 50% of the lap band removed since the surgeon already removed 50% on 1/15/14 due to an infection, I am praying that he this time he does as agreed and removed the whole thing and do the sleeve. I cant take this! I see you are also in Jersey, do we have the same doctor?

      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?
