Sorry to hear there was a glitch in your band removal surgery. Get well soon.

Thanks! It was a very unpleasant surprise to wake up with 6 incisions, no band, and no sleeve. It'll probably take a few months to come up with a new plan, and in the meantime, I'm flyin' blind! The good news is that being in better physical shape this time is making my recovery from surgery much easier than my original band surgery.

A wise person told me once, "We make plans and God laughs". You have a good attitude. If it was me and I just woke up from surgery and was told that, they would have had to put me in a "padded cell."
