Revise

I’m doing a revised surgery, to the sleeve.. from the band.. which Ed worked for awhile, but I stopped losing two years ago.. talking to my doctor and decided to do a revise .. so he wants me to do some of the online classes, of sorts..
I’ve had a lot of problems with the band. Been n the hospital 6+ times n the past two years. Surgically removing food from my esophagus .once they ran a tube down my nose to my belly to empty it.. I get these horrific muscle spasms in my stomach mostly on my left side where the band is it will literally take me down.. wondering if anybody else has had this problem?
 
Welcome Loma! So sorry you've had so many problems from the band. That's why they don't do them anymore! I had a Lapband removed when I had VSG. I think the sleeve is so much better, I hope you will find that too. Good luck!
