I am having bypass either November 16th or November 23rd. I had the band done in 2008 and lost 100 pounds and gained back 40 so far. Started getting BAD reflux and throwing up everyday for years and years damaged my esophagus. Was originally going to have the sleeve but Dr says bypass due to reflux and irritated esophagus. I'm excited. I'm at 300 right now. Would like to get down to 150. Hope this works WAY better than the band... that was a waste of time and surgery.

Welcome!! Your story is very similar to mine. I was also banded and suffered the same problems. I too was going to do the sleeve but with the same problems of reflux, I was told bypass was better option. This WILL work better than the band for sure!

come join us on Facebook! I'll send you PM.

Same here.Same story.The reflux is unbelievable.I was also going the way of the sleeve but after much thought and research I am going with what common sense should have told me the first time...Bypass,Why would I want to cut 85% of my tortured stomach?I am damaged from the band.I have to get through this sleep apnea test and a psych then I am ready to submit.I am hoping 1 surgery in December.

I was banded 2010, lost 20 pounds, had problems, my Dr. left and wasn't replaced. January thought I was having heart attack, my band slid up. Finally was sent to decent Bariatric Dr. start 2 week preop diet Monday and surgery for removal and roux en y revision.

Wow that's great that you get to have your removal and revision all in one surgery! My insurance isn't that nice, they made me have my removal first and I am revising in November. They consider it to be a new surgery so I had to qualify over again.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!!

I am a 42 year old who has finally said enough is enough I am scheduled for my bypass November 18th. I am anxious yet excited to start a new chapter in my life.

I was just discussing this with my husband that I need to start getting these things.
