This risk is the very scary part about having the band. Having a sleeve or bypass seems like a good alternative until you really think about all the risks.. and of course 80% of an organ you need to survive going in the waste bucket would be just terrible.

Just got my approval and have yet to call the nutritionist but I will be going in on March 10th. My wife just had the procedure about 3 weeks ago and is doing pretty good. I think she is already down like 15 pounds. I gotta admit im scared of this and i will miss my pepsi the most lol. It is/was the staple of my day and now i gotta give it up. I suppose that is why i have chosen this surgury since it kind of foces you to conform to a diet and since im such a weakling to food and drink it is the answer for me. While im scared i look forward to joining my wife in this thing and the race will be on lol.

I too am going in on March 10th. As it draws near it seems so surreal and i must admit im a bit scared mysself.
