I had lap band 5 years ago. I throw up daily and am gaining weight again. I had been doing great, however have had knee replacement and death of a parent. So have had some stress :(
Would really love to go to bypass. Any advice ?

I have read and also have seen this on a tv show that the lap band has problems after it's in place for a few years and many times it's replaced with a bypass. Many surgeons do these surgeries including my own surgeon. Get on the internet and check it out in your city and state. I think it's called "Bariatric Revision surgery".

Good luck,
