Everything went well just have a lot of gas pain. Hie are you Bindi? Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Nice to hear you are doing well....

Bad news....my band hurt my stomach so bad that he took out the band and sewed me up. He said my stomach needs to heal for several months before he sleeves me. Too high a risk for a leak. ..bummer ....hope you all are doing great!!! :-)

Bindi, I hate to hear that but better safe than sorry when it comes to leaks! I have had the band since 2003 and am sceduled Nov 7 for revision to the sleeve. I had a scope a few weeks ago and my Dr thinks that the outside of my stomach is ok based on what he could see, but it is always a possibility that you have to wait.

Best of wishes to a fellow friend "falling off the bandwagon"!

Sorry to hear that Bindi, God has a plan for you when the time is right. Continue to stay focused.

Thanks guys :-) I truly believe that things are meant to happen. Wether it be God, fate or destiny...I'm going with the flow. I'm spending the night, in the Hosp...sore from the sites where he took my band out. Goodnight all ...prayers for a safe and speedy recovery for all of you new sleevers :-)

Sorry Bindi.. Prayers sent your way.

Good morning, jillb good luck today, my family and I will be praying for you. I had a sleepless night, my heart rate (normal for me) and blood pressure were low, which meant the pulsar monitor went off every two minutes. Was given some meds so hopefully my bp will climb, they will try me on some liquids today, hopefully I will do well.
