glad-its-gone

I had my lap band put in 6 years ago all was going well up until 3 weeks ago it started with a almighty pain in my lower back and then i started throwing up i thought i had a virus after 4 days my husband took me to hospital they gave me some iv fluids and sent me home that night i started throwing up what looked like coffee grounds my husband took me back to hospital the next morning the pain was almost at an out of body experience level the doctor suspected my band had a slippage but they were not equipped at the hospital to deal with it so i was airlifted to a major hospital after investigations it was confirmed i had a major slip the top of my stomach had fallen in twisted and torn [ mind you they dislocated myy jaw and chipped a tooth finding this out] I was transferred to a private hospital where i had the band removed surgery took about 3 hours where one of my lungs also collapsed the anethetist told me the next day he was shocked i was still alive they nearly had to airlift me to a bigger hospital mid surgery, the surgeon is now worried part of my stomach might have died so now it is wait and see i was in hospital for 8 days after surgery it is now 19 days since it was removed and I am still not 100% and not sre how much longer it will take!!!!
