  1. I was one of the first people to have the band placed(4th to be exact). I had band surgery in 1993. I just got it removed 2 weeks ago. I was in the hospital for 9 days and had to have surgery twice due to complications. I have to say I feel great...better then I have in a very long time. It's very different to be without the band. I had the band so long that it's weird eating. Before I always had to worry about getting blocks or eating to fast and getting sick. None of that happens now and I am eating less then I did with the band....I am sure it part of that is due to the surgeries. I was wondering if anyone out there had any advice for me. I had the band in for 16yrs..I got it when I was 18yrs old. This is new territory for me.:huh2:
