OK, how can this procedure be both "Completely reversible" and "Not fully reversible"? Clarification and/or correction needed here. Mr.Logic 20:18, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

post gastroplasty patient X24 years

I am one of the patients who should consider reversal(not of the stapling,but the band. Scar tissue and adhesions have basically put me on a liquid regimen. Now ,having read that it should only be considered in lifethreatening cicumstances, I think I'll live on liquids. I have a 12 year old daughter who needs me more than I need solid food.Meenawee (talk) 16:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
