  1. HI, my name is Stacey. I'm new at this site. I have an eroided band into my stomach. They want to remove it the 17th of October. I am so scarred!! Maybe someone can tell me what to expect during and after surgery??? They said something about a hole in my stomach that may have to be fixed, that really scarred me!! Please gie me as much info on this procedure you know???? Thanks, Stacey
