Just an update for all of you

So I was supposed to get my band removed on Feb. 11th but I got really sick with an ear infection and bronchitis plus we got hit hard here in Wa with snow. I am now waiting to call the NW weight loss to reschedule. I am starting to get new pain so know it has to come out. Anyways just wanted to let you all know. Support and comfort is still appreciated. I need it really bad.

I have not been through that and i am sorry you are going through that. I hope you feel better and get well soon.

I appreciate the support. This has been not fun for sure. Hopefully I will get it out soon and begin to feel better.

I'm sorry this is happening to you! How awful.

When my band slipped, the only symptom was GERD and esophagitis.

When I had my band out, I also chose not to revise. So, the surgery was pretty easy. Not much pain. I had a brief progression from liquids to solid foods, but much shorter than with the original surgery/weight loss process. I immediately felt better and aside from your normal post-surgical issues like a little gas and the incisions, it was a breeze.

Good luck!

Thankyou for the encouragement and I will keep you posted of what happens with my appt with dr on Tuesday.

My lap band slipped which put me into the ER and now am waiting for appt to get it removed. I am on a liquid diet and am in pain where the port is plus lower back pain. I don’t think I will get anything else to replace it. I am going to use hard work to finish losing my weight. I feel like such a loser. Has anyone out there gone through this. How much pain will I feel after it’s removed?
