I was banded in 2003 and although I still have it in place, have had nothing but trouble with the ports for the first few years. My stomach looks like a war zone, I have so many scars! Now my band is only half full (2.0 cc) with hardly any restriction. Problem is that as soon as I get filled more than that, I have reflux etc. SO - like many of you here, I am hoping to get a revision surgery to either the gastric sleeve 0r the gastric plication. What seems to work best after banding: a plication of the stomach, or the actual gastric sleeve (removal of most of the stomach)? Any info would be appreciated!

Hi - I'm scheduled for a fill on Saturday 1/20 at 1:30....arriving at San Diego airport at 12:30. Anyone else arriving on Saturday for a fill? I'd love to make plans with someone to split the cost of transportation. ...wish I had seen your note, Kevin, before I purchased my airline ticket. I would have gotten a flight for the 15th. Oh well!
