  1. Hi, I am very Glad to hear you are having (or Had) that band removed, I too am having it removed shortly, I am haveing a consultation with the surgern on oct.18,,wish me luck. This has been a living hell for the last 5 yrs. I've had mine in. Enough is Enough. I think this is just a big scam , the doctors make out like bandits milking the insurance companies. Up date us on how you feel after removal, ok.
  2. Well I've been banded for 5 yrs and only lost 35 lbs and have been sick as a dog from day one, and then nothing but lies and run-arounds from the doctor, so now I am having the stupid thing removed, what a scam ,,these guys are making a killing off the insurance companies.
