Just want to say thanks for sharing everyone! Haven't been on here forever but I was banded in 2009 had a band slippage in 2010 and had it repaired, was having problems for the past month and went to the er this past Saturday n was told it slipped yet once again!!! Made a tuff decision but decided to have it removed not salvaged this past Sunday!!! I lost a total of 110 lbs so gotta have faith in myself and know I can maintain this weight loss!!! Just got home today !!! Good luck all
