Default Have a revision myself

Hello, my name is Pam and I have just joined. I have stomach stapling and lap band 10 years ago and went from 275-160. I have kept the wieght off.

But now my band is closing off, and I am down to an all liquid diet and they are going to do a gastric bypass. It took me forever to find a dr that would do it because of the complications and high risk. I am very nervous and worried. The lap band was a huge success for me and I can eat sweets if I want, but going forward I am told that I will not be able to. Anybody else in this situation, where the lap band did work, but still having to go to a bypass?
