Oct 27th surgery date - Bypass this time vs. LapBand

[tgleicher 1]

Wondering if anyone else is out there about to have a Bypass after having had poor results with a LapBand. I had my Lapband done in 2005. I'm just one of those people for whom the LapBand wasn't the solution. I had the LapBand removed on 9/15, and will get the Bypass done on 10/27.

Yep, I had the same problem. I had my lapband done in 2008, lost 85 pounds over the next 2 years, then maintained at 180 for about 6 months. THEN...I started slowly gaining after that until I started having even more problems. Everything I ate got stuck. I ended up with ulcers on my esophagus, the band had moved. I had it removed in Dec. 2013. I'm having the RNY on Oct 20th.

Amylynns: It's good to know you're not alone...would like to keep in touch over the next year or so to compare experiences..
