Hello Everyone,
I have had a band put in April 2012 and have lost 15% weight since then, but in my last gastroscopy my surgeon found out that I have hernia and he will have to take the band out, he has since deflated the band as I was getting very bad reflux and it was impossible to sleep.
I am booked to take the band out next month but since the deflation I have started putting on weigh back and I am now almost back to my pre-surgery weight.
I am now thinking to get either sleeve or bypass done and want to get advise/help from those who were on similar journey like me,
1. What are the complications for bypass and sleeve after band?
2. Why did you get the band removed?
3. What's the experience after year with sleeve/bypass
4. Which one do you prefer ?
Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
