Hi everyone I did great with my surgery. It only took 1.5 hours for the whole procedure no problems with scar tissue after having my band 10 years to God be the glory.

I am so happy for you. I pray that I am as lucky as you.

My name is Natalee from Birmingham' date=' Al. I was banded May 2008 and lost almost 100 lbs within a year and a half! Everything was fine but then lost my insurance and was unable to have a fill for 2 1/2 years! But during that time due to family stress gained 80lbs back!

Recently I went to a doc in the box because I was constantly nauseous and sick. Doc said it could be related to my band but I told her it couldn't be! Sure enough, went to Dr. Touliatos at Trinity Medical Center in Birmingham and the band had started to erode!! So he said it had to come out and he recommended have the sleeve at the same time since I'm still morbidly obese. Within a week the insurance had approved the surgery and I'm getting sleeved on August 17!! I'm nervous of course but ready to have this horrible band taken out!!!

Starting the Pre-Op diet tomorrow and counting down the days!![/quote']

Good luck pa

I am also having my band removed in Sept. I have had my band since June of 2011 and had some success, but due to lots of swelling, vomiting and "stuck" episodes my surgeon wants it out. Time for another route. liquid diet starts in 2 weeks!

Alliecat1095 is spent lots of time in prayer asking God to take care of the scar tissue and he did I am so amazed..be sure to follow the pre-op diet to a T and you will do great. How long have you had your band? After surgery keep walking it helps the gas and makes you stronger everyday. you will do great what is the date of your surgery? I will hold you up in prayer for the same success.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
