Band removal And Restriction
Jul 10, 2018
Yes, you can just have the band removed without doing any other procedure.  I think you do not have true acid reflux.  It sounds to me like your band is too restricted or tight.  I am willing to bet that your symptoms including acid reflux will go away if you loosen the band a bit.  You may even be able to eat healthy foods with no issues.  Consult with another bariatric surgeon and get a second opinion.
I have had a lap band for 8 years and recently experienced violent vomiting. Now I have chest pain
Is My Band Sipped?
Jul 4, 2018
Unfortunately no matter how long you had a band, it can suddenly develop issues.  The symptoms you are experiencing may be due to a band slippage.  You need to find a local bariatric surgeon willing to adjust the band.  You need all the fluid removed that way you can drink and eat without vomiting or severe acid reflux.  Then you need to have an upper GI series to check for band slippage.  If the band is sipped it can be re-positioned if it is not, then it can be re-adjusted.
Why am I experiencing pain for the first time after 7 weeks post surgery?
Abdominal pain After Sleeve
Jul 1, 2018
Your pain can be caused by a few things.  First, you may have gall bladder issues.  you may have gall stones which are causing you to have pain.  You may also have gastritis or ulcers.  You need to consult with a bariatric surgeon.  You need to have an ultrasound of the gall bladder and possibly an endoscopy or EGD to check for ulcers and/or gastritis.

Band removal And Restriction
Jun 30, 2018
Does not matter weather the sutures are removed or the adhesions are lysed.  Once the gastric band is removed, your stomach will return to its normal capacity over time.  Leaving the sutures and the adhesions will not cause you to have restrictions.

Slime or Foamy Secretions after Sleeve
May 28, 2018
This so called “slime” may be saliva and other secretions that are accumulating in the pouch.  The main cause of these may be a stricture or narrowing of the sleeve.  Consult with a bariatric surgeon.  You need to get an upper Gi series and and endoscopy or EGD.  These tests will diagnose the problem.  If there is a stricture, the gastroenterologist can dilated or stretch it during the endoscopy.  In the mean time, drink hot beverage in the morning and before meals.  This will help empty …

Pain Months After Sleeve Gastrectomy
May 27, 2018
If the CT was negative, you may need to have an endoscopy and an upper gi.  I don’t think it is anything serious.  If you are not having pain with eating, It may be muscle spasm.  Muscle relaxant may help.  
Does mild obstructive sleep apnea keep you from having Gastric Sleeve surgery for weight loss?
Gastric Sleeve Treats Sleep Apnea
May 13, 2018
On the contrary, most of my patients have sleep apnea and losing weight through the gastric sleeve gets rid of it very quickly.  Sleep apnea is one of the comorbidity that responds very quickly to weight loss surgery.  The gastric sleeve will definitely cure your sleep apnea.
