Band removal in 12 hours...

I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning at 7:30 to have my band removed. I'll post tomorrow evening, assuming all goes well and I'm able to.

I have to admit, I'm a little nervous. It was so exciting getting the band put in, that any fear I had about surgery or recovery was easily set aside... now there's really nothing to look forward to.

Anyway, it is what it is. Win some, lose some.

Awwww Jonathan, Im not sure why you are getting your band removed, I remember you had a slipped band, but I thought that was fixed. anyhow, I hope everything goes good for you, and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take Care

Jonothan, I can only imagine the disappointment you're feeling right now. I mean, you've been feeling it for a while but tomorrow's the finality of it all, right? Did you decide not to have any other form of WLS done then? Or are you waiting to decide? If you posted the answer to that on your other thread, I apologize. I'm really trying to keep up with everyone, but its not always easy.

I wish you the best tomorrow. I would think the removal would be much easier than the installation. I'll be hoping for a quick recovery for you.

Jonathan,

Im truly dissapointed for you.

The only peace I find in your situation is knowing that everything happens for a reason.

True, you are mentally better able to fight the food demons NOW then pre-banding. But goodness, all that money spent.

Know you are being prayed for today - and the days to come.

God bless~

I'm so sorry your going through this Jonathon. I too thought the slippage had fixed itself.

Prayers are with you today. Please let us know how your doing.

You're in my thoughts Jonathan. Hope all went well by the time you read this. I too thought your problem was resolved; I'm really sorry you have to go through this.
