questions about band to bypass revision

[Iwantthis 2]

I would like to know how the revisions are going?

We have the Protein items in Maine that you are using Banded... I love each I have tried, except the broc cheddar Soup I thought was nasty.... I need to try the lemon!

So for me to hear this as an option I'm upset. I have had band for 7years problem after problem for the last 4 years and my surgeon never gave me this as an option. Now he has retired and out looking for someone to help me. I'm so uncomfortable and hate always going to get Fluid removed. Grant it I have kept about 70lbs off but gain about 30lbs of the 100 lbs in all that I originally lost. I'm so scared to gain that weight back. No one seems to understand my pain. Sorry for venting

@@t_marie I had the band for 5 years with many issues. I originally lost 80lbs, but gained back 55lbs from them having to keep taking Fluid out. But I had issues with that dang thing since day 1. But I finally had mine taken out in November 2015 and revised to RNY. I'm so glad I had that horrid band removed!!

I have a couple questions. I had to go the ER due aspirating in my sleep (reflux, salivia??) found out my band had slipped. So have had all the Fluid removed and approved for surgery.. but have questions about reflux and the Sleeve and Bypass. I keep reading Bypass has been around longer there for the " Gold Standard" anyone with any insight I am not sheduled yet for the surgery due to getting ready to travel out of the country. I can say now with the band unfilled its the first time I feel in forever that I can sleep without choking and lay on my stomach at night. Any words of insight would be appreciated.
