I live in Milwaukie, OR have had the band since Dec 2005 - having it removed and revision to sleeve on Dec 31st. I am very excited. I lost 90 lbs with the band but then had issues with my fills was always either too tight or too loose. I threw up constantly. Then had an occassion where my stomach went over the band. My process when from Oct - Dec. I jumped through a lot of hoops and made most of my appts as many as possible on one day. Had to do Welcome Group, Phys Therapy, physc appt and 2 sleep studies and a C-PAP machine but am now done. Praying all goes well with removing band and doing sleeve all at once.
Thank you for all who participate in these support threads they are so helpful.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
