I had a band placed in 2008 and it was a mistake. I just had it revised to bypass this past Wednesday. I was one of the people that couldn't tolerate fills because the band caused reflux so bad I would get aspiration pneumonia. So it was a waste of lots of money, because you don't know if you can tolerate fills until you have one. Also over the years it slipped and twisted and all kinds of things. Lots of scar tissue. It was going to have to be removed regardless of whether I revised to bypass or not.
