Hi

I'm 59. I had the band for 10 years. It was removed 2 weeks ago after a year of complications. It is a device and devices do not last. Read up on everything you can - all the stats on Bands. Educate yourself. I am looking into the Sleeve as an option, not another Band. You could check Faceb. Failed.Lap-Band.and.Realize.Bands to ask any questions of members. Friendly and supportive group like this one. Good luck!

Hi - Mine was removed after 10 years, 5 days ago. I have five 5mm incisions and one longer one. The first 3 days were rough with pain and I'm on pain meds still.the worst pain came from my shoulder from the gas. I have to take a daily vitamin plus iron now as my iron was low (normal blood loss from surgery) in post surgery tests. I see my surgeon in a week for follow up. I was on clear liquids for 3 days then eggs, soup, cottage cheese now. Good luck to you! Let me know how you do.

Mine lasted 10 yrs.

Hi - I just had my band removed on Tuesday after 10 years. It's been a difficult week. There weren't any issues with scar tissue.

I'm related to the Grinch family myself! It is not an easy time of year. I am sorry for your loss and heartache. Early Happy Birthday ???????????? to you and hope for gentler days ahead.

Hi - I have been in contact with a Dr who performs this surgery outside of Canada and the U.S. My band removal surgery is Monday. Bittersweet after 10 years! I have to heal for a couple of months before I have any other procedure. I want to thank you for putting me on to the Endoscopic Sleeve. I am researching it and if you know of anyone who has had it I would really appreciate connecting with them. It appears only 1 Canadian has had it and it was done in the Dominican. It is not offered here.

Hi - Congratulations on your weight loss! it took me about 1 1/2 yrs to get my weight off (80lbs). Lots of others in my support group lost faster than I did. Try not to compare yourself. It's so individual. Emotionally I realized I could not have handled a fast huge weight lost and it gave me time to process it. I felt very vulnerable becoming a small human. ????

Hi - From my research Garcinia Cambogia is not all that it's marketed to be. Check out Chromium(III) picolinate - much more research behind it. Confirm with a naturopathic Dr. or Dr. Before trying either. ????

All the best to you!!! I've had mine for 10 yrs.

Thank you!
