  1. Thank you all for your kind words! I just had the removal and the surgery went well. Recovery on the other hand is a different story. I am healing well although very sore. More that my midsection is my neck. I don't know what happened in the surgical room; I woke up from surgery with the feeling of an elephant sitting on my shoulders. Any similar feelings?
  2. Im 20 years old and I've had my band for 3 years. I need a removal because My body is not "compliant" with the band.. I have fluctuated between 280-265 since having my band but have not seen any physical results. I am now 1 pound below pre-band weight.. So I'm getting a removal. The problem is I'm extremely scared of going under and never waking up. Just someone tell me everything is going to be ok :'-(
