Every day I tell my self, "self, today I'll actually do some work to prevent getting fired." Then every day, here I am posting my insanity for the entire banded world to hear.

Donali, you don't have to say much, but pop in at least once a week somewhere, okay?

Hey, how many days till the Vegas bash?

I felt just like you when I heard the news (same Dr. by the way) I left the office crying. I didnt have the money to have it replaced so I have had the eroded band for over a year I am scheduled to have it removed on Friday and I am really scared. Can you tell me how painfull and difficult the recovery was I am devestated to have my band removed but I do get that over the last year I have maintained with out it working so I will continue I have decided not to have any other type of procedure mainly because with this economy I unfortunately have other issues to worry about. Please let me know how you are doing Thanks

:) Roasrio, I am so sorry to hear of your issue. My recovery was much better than the initial surgery. I was up and around the very next day. They took out the band the exact same way they put it in, Laparoscopically.

Did you mean the same doctor put in the band or the same doctor is taking out the band?

Rosario, you have my condolences on the loss of your band, and having to go through another surgery.

My band removal was a much easier recovery than my band placement - that missing 103 pounds really helped, I think!

Are you really having no restriction from your eroded band? I regained all my weight plus 30 pounds after my band was removed. It took me five years, but once my normal hunger kicked back in I was fighting a "losing" battle.

I just got sleeved on 8/14/09, and am already down 38 pounds from my highest. Wish I had been sleeved to begin with!

Best of luck, and keep us posted.

Donali

I meant the same Doctor that banded you. Dr. Corvala

is the doctor who banded me and he will also remove it

I appreciate your response last night I was a mess and unfortunately all the stress of having the surgery is causing a lot of friction with my husband, I dont think that people that have not had weight problems really get our emotions any way I am glad to hear that it was a quick recovery !!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
