Lapband removal now want bypass. Questions!!

hi all

lapband for me wasnt successful. Im thinking bypass. What does it feel like when you are full. If u had lapband and tgen bypass does it feel similiar.  Do you throw up a lot?  I

For me the experiences are night and day different.  I don't know really what full feels like because even at three years out, I eat a set portion of food. In the early days post-op revision, I'd get the soft signals like dripping nose, or sharp pain on the left under my breast.  But now?  I eat very small amounts every 3-4 hours and I am never hungry, nor stuck or sliming like before. And I have never thrown up with my Bypass - whereas it was a daily occurrence with the Band, almost every meal I eat towards the end.  

My Bypass upgrade is the best decision I've made in the last 10 years.  I would do it over again every year if need be - it is that fantastic of a tool.  Good luck!  

I was banded in 2007, removed in 2015.   I threw up every single meal.   It was like I had bulimia.  Then all of a sudden I lost restriction and gained FAST!

I was sleeved on Aug 9th and I'm very happy.  I'm also angry at my weight loss team.  I went in in 2013 and it took them 2 years to decide to remove the band.  I also had to jump through hoops.   I was so angry to have to start the entire program again. A year after I was approved I received the sleeve.  

It actually makes me feel FULL, whereas the band made me feel STUCK.  I wish i would've had this done 10 years ago.

I had similiar experience!  And because i could eat nothing without throwing up i resorted to ice cream etc. it was a tool that gave me more pain than anything. But am scared as to what will stop me from eating!!  I had it removed just about a yr ago and gained 10lbs. But im done!  Im about to turn 53 im tired of the battle!!!

I had lapband removal and RNY on May 27, and it is the best decision I ever made! I do not any longer vomit all the time, or have the pain that restriction caused. I now just feel full faster, and it is a great feeling! This is so much better! I would highly recommend it!!!! 

Ive had my lapband since 2006 and I'm revising to RNY on 9/23. I had similar questions which I've asked on this board. Here's a link to responses that I received. I can't wait to get this thing out of me.

Thanks!!  Keep me posted on how you are doing!!  Did dr pohl make you start all over again like doing all the stuff we had to do before lapband?  He is great!!  Great doctor!

Yes I had to redo everything but the insurance required it as well.  He is a great Dr. I know we are in good hands.
