Has anyone who had the Lap Band surgery had it removed?

I had the banding surgery 2 years ago and now I am heavier than I was when I had it done. It has failed miserably for me. I am considering having it removed and having the actual gastric bypass. Does anyone know anyone who has done this or if it is even an option?
I ate according to the guidelines for the first year and then found I could cheat. Getting fills haven’t worked. I cannot exercise like a normal person due to my severe rheumatoid arthritis. I can only walk.

    Have you been eating according the guidelines?
    It works with conjunction of strict eating habits.
    Doesn’t mean you don’t exercise too. Have you?

    Sounds like it did what you said. It failed. I guess your best bet is to talk to your doctor and see what other options there are for you and have it removed if that seems the only way. I am sorry I can’t help you further but my friend has one and hers worked very well.
