That is nearly unbelievable. All that happening to you. Yikes. Your body must fell wretched. I am horrified this happened, and so glad you're OK. I've heard of bands slipping but never like this. And I've never heard it's 50%. I will certainly have to look into that, especially because I'm not banded yet. I recently canceled an appointment with a Dr. because he wouldn't do the band. Hmmm.

Do you have someone to take care of you while you recover?

Biggest, gentle hugs and sweet Shiki smooches to you.

Thank You for your concern. If I new now "I DIED" back then that it would be a 50/50 thing, I would have never, ever had this done. I been a member here for many years, and a advocate for anyone that will hear me. I can only go by what I now know, and how I feel. and its better to go to myfitnesspal.com and monitor your caloric intake vs a 50/50 chance of living vs dieing. I don't like those odds, it happened in 1 swallow, and it caused me to leave this earth for 4 minutes. They pumped my stomach, and 1/2 of that cannula was filled with Blood. I was told I was lucky to be alive "which shocked me, with there new study, most people that suffer a slip don't make it...." I can't even remember how many different type of Dr.'s that I had that said the same thing.

Yet I know 9 out of 10 people will disagree with this. I did to,,, until those Dr.'s made that statement. It really sunk in when I got home. How I cried...... Now I no I have to have it taken out, I'm facing a firring squad., and there is no way that I will do this again. I might not get another chance.

My Husband is home taking care of me, and I never thought that this would happen to me.

This is very dangerous surgery. Yes it has been successful for a lot of people, and allot of people have had problems.

If your Dr. is backing off, I would sure ask as of why? Print this paper if you want, and take it in for him to read, and get his 2 cents on it. It might help with any questions.

Shirley.

Oh no!!! I am so very sorry to hear this. I was just wondering how she was doing the other day since I had not seen her post anything on here in a few days.

Do they know the cause of her death yet?

I don't know if the members here at LBT will ever know the details.

I'm in shock after reading today's posts about Shirley's death. It isn't like I knew her personally, but geez.......

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
