Hi Sophina I lost five stone and my revision was mid feb x

 

[Sophina]

Hi Caroline,

Did the band go wrong then?!

I'm sure you've already covered this off on this site already but I'm new to it and am denied access to a lot of it at the moment.

I had a meeting yesterday with 2 consultants and am more confused than ever!!!

 

[Caroline jess]

My band slipped and caused severe acid reflux and erosion. However when I had my band the advice of how to maintain it was different and I was very young so I fully accept that I probably contributed to my band failing. I also fell pregnant twice which is not always great with a band because I had terrible morning sickness so vomited all the time. I did lose eight stone but regained five during/after pregnancy.
From personal experience I prefer the bypass life compared to banded life but I wouldn't try to talk people out of having a band. It changed my life totally.

 

[Sophina]

Ah thanks for that Carlline that's really helpful. I'm not sure I could have a bypass though, the consultant never mentioned that as an option !!

 

[Caroline jess]

Is that because the surgeon does not do any other surgeries though? Don't limit yourself and make sure you have fully researched traditional bypass, loop or mini bypass (what I had) sleeve and band before you make your decision after all you will have to live with it for life x

 

[Sophina]

No he does do other surgery but he thinks that based on what I've told him about my eating habits, what my triggers are and how much I want to lost that it is going to be the most effective for me.

It's such a big decision xx
