Hi everyone. I'm back here after a long stay away. I had a band put in last year and they perferated my stomach as well. After the removal of the band, extensive re-constructive surgery and a month in the hospital later, I chose to stay away for a while. Anyway, crazy or not, I'm about to try again. I'm frusterated and scared. Anyone out there experience anything like this?? Or even a happy ending to a really rough start??

Lee, good luck tomorrow :party:

Thanks Eileen, I've comitted myself to trying again. I guess that most of it.

Wow, Lee, good luck!! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

I think it's awesome to see someone go for banding after having repair work done! If I have problems, my plan is to get rebanded (at least from my current perspective). I'll be watching your story with interest!

Remember to sip & walk! (Heh, like you didn't know that! :party:)

(( Hugs!! ))

Report back when you can!!

Woot! Best of Luck~

I want to thank everyone for your kind words of encouragement. Surgery went OK. They also fixed a hernia and added a tubaligation!!. Still sore and a little light headed. The port incision is the worst. I've taken the week off work so I'm hoping to be able to go back to work on Monday.

Thanks for the encouraging words and prayers.:bananadoggywow:

How are u doing after your rebanding? I had my removed in May after having it for 4 months and was wondering if rebanding is the answer. I still have the esophagitis but it is slowly getting better,If I didn't lose a pound, at least I wouldn't be gaining...Marian
