Sorry I've been off for so long but I've been very sick due to gastroparasis; how are you doing now with the bypass? My surgery is scheduled for July 25th

Sorry I off so long but yes I need the wls because of my several disabilities and diseases like heart (I was born with this disease) and MS which caused me to have gastroparasis which all the vomiting made my lapband slip.

Mikimi.

Thank you for the advise, I just went for an upper GI today and something wasn't right because the radiologist never laid the table back so that makes me think that I still have the gastroparesis. I will follow all the rules because I don't need anymore health issues.

thank you,

I learned how to eat slowly and take tiny bites. I seen my teenage niece wolf down a 1/2 lb cheeseburger in a matter of minutes; I've since taught her to eat slowly and taught her that when she felt full to stop eating and that it's okay to leave food and not finish everything on her plate.

thank you so much for your experience because I'e also been vomiting since March even water plus severe acid reflux; I contacted the surgeon I just because I am set to go on a cruise in October so I want to put in my six month set up and after the cruise I can go for my revision.

Thank you Didi,

thank you so much for your help I can not have the gastric sleeve because I have gastroparesis so the roux-en-y is my only other alternative besides just living without the lap band. I have MS plus having a stroke at age 3 so I don't want to be big trying to pull myself from the couch to my wheelchair.

my mother had the roux-en-y but if I have any questions about the revision I will ask.

thank you,

Melissa M

Hi everyone,

I went to the bariatrc doctor today, I had my lap band surgery November 2007 and the doctor said it slipped so he drained my band. I'm up against a huge decision and the doctor offered me the roux-en-y bypass because I have MS which has caused gastroparesis. My question is has anyone ever had a lapband slip removed and went in for a revision of the roux-en-y?

TIA
