I have decided to remove my band, most likely. Something I had so much faith in and spent 2 years trying to get. You can see my other posts on the complications I've had, no one has been able to figure out my pain and I'm ready to try taking it out to see if it fixes the problem.

I am trying to be a strong person, but since my pain came back 4 days ago I have become very sad. I have spent a lot of my days crying, and had trouble going to school and work. I am going to pick my head up and move on, but I wanted to talk to other people who have dealt with this and get some advice.

I'm devastated and heartbroken, and need to see the light in this somehow. I am normally pretty optimistic, so this is different for me. I am just still in shock that this is happening. I'm dealing with guilt as well, even though this seems to be mostly out of my control and I knew there could be side-effects.

Anyone gone through this emotionally?

I'n not going thru the same thing but I just wanted to say I was sorry that you are.I can hear the sadness & frustration in your post.Hang in there you've done great with your weightloss and you have to listen to your body and your Doctor and do what you have to do.Take care!!:biggrin:
