Should I stay or should I go...asked the band.

By Baba Wawa

I really appreciate all my band has done for me. Not that it's been easy, I did the work, stayed focused and exercised discipline. Unfortunately, my heart (and GI tract) are telling me its time to quit fighting and wave the white flag. Time to see my band surgeon and seriously discuss my options for removal/revision.

I've lost 90 lb, but my digestive system just isn't working correctly, 9 months after having all fill removed. Time to make the call and determine the next step.

    Sorry to hear about your insides. Follow the doctors orders. I am happy the band did help you lose 90 lbs. That is amazing.

    I just read your "History." You are a fighter! Much more than I. I would've had the band taken out long before this. You put up with a lot!

    Good luck as you move forward. You seem to be quite strong and I'm sure will be fine whatever you decide post-band.

    I emailed them an appointment request over the weekend. Fingers crossed they have a solution.
