To Be Concerned Or Not To Be Concerned (Band Removal)

By Angela777

Friday is the big day! Band removal day. I was so excited till I started reading about all of the banders that had bad erosion and their surgery got pushed back 6 months to a year.

 

I am so set on 6 weeks from Friday I can get the sleeve (insurance pending of course) but 6 months! Ahhhh.

 

I know I am worrying about the unknown but I am stressing and just really want this sleeve. I really wish I would have done this earlier and not waited two years, gave more chance to erosion.

 

Hopefully I will be able to sleep these next three nights!

 

Heres to sleep filled nights and NO EROSION!!!!!

PS. If you read this comment for me- I love feedback and really need support! :)

    Take a few deep breaths and don't stress yourself so much. I know easier said than done. You will handle what ever comes up in the future beautifully!

    Hang in there, Angela. You'll be fine. It either will all be nothing, or there will be erosion and there's still nothing that can be done except for move forward.

    It's not bad to consider options if all is not as you hope, but don't let it make you too crazy worrying about it, as you won't change what IS by worrying :)

    Good luck!
