Lap band revision before big weight gain

[Snowgator 3]

Anyone have vsg after lap band removal? I had my band removed 9 months ago and am slowly gaining. BMI 27. Considering Dr. Pompa in Mexico. Any advice welcome!

I was revised from Band to Bypass. Something to think about, if you've got GERD or other acid issues... the Sleeve is *NOT* going to be the option you want to go with.

I know a number of people that have had sleeves after they had bands. Whilst most of them say having a sleeve is easier they don't seem to have lost much weight.

I went from Band to Sleeve in the same surgery. It was a huge relief as I was not doing good with the band. Things with the sleeve are way better.
