2nd timer band revision to by pass or sleeve

[2nd timer]

Hi everyone. I'm back in this site after years of not being on as my band was fine. Had a six stone loss with my band and went from a 24-14/16. Life was great.Sadly my arthritis meds caused me to be so sick I sicked my stomach into my diaphragm n had to have emergency surgery and the band removed.
In 18 months I have put all of my weight back and I'm devastated after doing so well and even having a tummy tuck too.
Long story but during my begging visits to fat clinic, they wondered if I had sleep apnoea as I was always tired and sleepy. The off shot of it was I had. I have to sleep on a nasty machine.....but the positive side is I now qualify for reconstruction without a quibble!!!!
Gp referred me to Luton and in two weeks I got a cancellation with a days notice. Today they accepted me and I see the surgeon next week as I have adhesions n I need to see him first to see what path I am to follow. Fingers crossed for by pass )
So I'm happy n here again revisiting somewhere I never hoped I would have to join again. So your not rid of me yet lol.!!!
Been told op may be four months, but I go on hols in April so I expect it will be after hols.
Whoop whoop

Welcome back. Sorry to hear of your band problems. I know only too well what it's like. I'm an almost 10 year bandster with nothing but problems on and off. Revision to bypass is booked mid January. I cannot wait !

Looking forward to your updates as a fellow band to bypass revisioner!!!
(Think the forum should have a dedicated revision thread!) ;-))

Good luck

I've today had a date for specialist nurse, dietician and shrink on 19th dec. at Luton for revision surgery. I asked reception what then and they said lose 5% of weight then see surgeon for a date. Does that mean 5% of excess weight or total weight? I should have asked. Derrr.
Does it mean milk diet from 19th or just lose 5% by any means? Exciting, but bad timing if they want me to go milk diet week before Xmas lol.
Any info would be very welcomed. ESP those that had by pass at Luton I'm going down this road quick n no idea of the route really. Info would help me.
Thanks everyone. I can't afford to have anything else go wrong with me.
