Well my 5 year battle with my band is finally coming to an end tomorrow. I have been trying to get approved to take it out for 3 years. Wow. I am ecstatic. I am hoping to wake up sleeved as well... Bye by band... I am looking forward to no ports no tight chest feeling, no throwing up all the time and a chance to gain my life back with the sleeve as a tool. Goodnight band, for in the morning you will be evicted forever. GOOD RIDDANCE

How it exciting good luck I had my band removed 2 months ago and getting my sleeve on the 1st.

how did everything go?

I just had my band removed on June 24 after 9 years. I hope to get a surgery date for the sleeve for October.
