I was wondering you follks who had your bands removed if you go to send it home as a "consulation prize" kinda like the little stuffed animals you overpay for at the fair? I'd like to see the little crudder that's made me miserable for 5 years!!

I was going to ask my doc if I could keep my band..... that little bugger was a blessing and a curse and I want to keep my eye on him :-)

I didn't even think to ask. I probably would have had a voodoo curse ceremony over it (if there even IS such a thing ) and then burned it if given the choice!

This made me laugh, because I was mad I never got to see/keep the part of the stomach that was cut off to make my sleeve. It was MINE!

I'm definitely keeping my band. I'm going to buy a mason jar and label it "The Big Mistake". LOL

I named my band Pamela several years ago after Pamela Anderson. It's made mostly of silicone and saline and can be very bitchy depending upon the hour.

I asked my doctor if I could have it and he said I wouldn't want it. I guess there may be some kind of health issue involved?

I named mine Rob after a co-worker that gets on my last nerve!!!

I have my band. I keep it on my dresser. I like seeing it since I spent 10 grand on that mistake.

Hahaha love it!!

So LOVING this! I was self pay for my band and it has been nothing but a BIG waste of money. I will have to ask my doc if I can keep it and see what he says! I am so glad I am not the only one who thinks the band is a JOKE.

Well I was definitely able to keep my band. It's settled nicely in my suitcase. What a perfect place for it!!! :thumbdown:

I would have loved to seen my band.......but the surgeon sent it back to Allergan, the maker of it. This is so great to find others like me!
