Hi all. I rarely post - I'm more of a behind the scenes gal and I read
everyone else's posts for support.

I may have to have a revision surgery to move my band and I was
wondering if anyone out there has had this done and if it has been
successful. I'm exactly one year post-op and I've lost 38 pounds and
I've struggled with every one of those pounds. Apparently I abused my
tool early on and now I'm having issues with chronic dialiation of the
pouch. The pouch/stomach wall right above my band is so weak that even
drinking liquid quickly causes it to balloon out. They keep having to
remove the fluid from my band, put me on a liquid diet and then start
over will small fills. At this point, it looks like a revision surgery
is the next step and I actually have an appointment with the surgeon to
discuss the pros-cons, etc. They have explained that it would require
moving the band up a little bit - actually placing it on top of the
weak spot.

Here is my question for this group - has anyone out there had this
done? Do you know someone who has? I want to talk to someone who can
tell me their experience (obviously, I'd love for it to be a good
experience) - I need major encouragement right now because I feel like
such a failure with this band thing!
