7 years go I decided to make the move to get the lap-band. I was able to successfully lose 40 lbs. However, the tool that I thought would help ended up not working with me. I was very good restricted and not getting in enough proper nutrients. A lot of vomiting which in turn plays a head game of great I can eat today get in as much as you can because tomorrow you could be back to starving because nothin will go down. I also had constant reflux and all combined made any social outing hard.
I made the decision to have my band removed. I am one week post op and feel incredibly free!! I started to giggle when I burped as I haven't done that in 7 years! I ate my first scrambled eggs and fresh carrots and apples and a slice of bread without pain!! It is a completely different feeling and I am so happy to have made the choice to have it reversed. I am grateful that I feel full easily still because of the restriction before but I am nervousness because I will be able to eat foods like Pasta and rice with ease now.
I could have had a new surgery at the same time but at this time I am just not ready to alter my body in that way again as it's not reversible.
I wish everyone success with their choice of surgeries and support to those who are in the spot as me.
