After having a lap band for 10 years, I started having regurgitation at night, and unable to keep food down. My surgeon said I’ll have to have it removed, and was scoped last week to confirm. He recommended I convert to a gastric sleeve or bypass so I don’t gain my weight back. I lost 100 lbs initially, and have maintained a 85lb weight loss. He said 95-98% of patients gain it back w out a “tool”. Scares me!! But is he trying to get another surgery under his belt? Any comments? Experiences with this?
