It's bittersweet but I have a surgery date of April 2 to have my band removed, have had probs from day one and need to get my health back, however am grateful for the weight I did lose

Best of luck on your journey. Mine's coming out next week. No revision for you? I'm not getting one. Straight up removal. I'm done with WLS.

I wish you the best Donna. You have certainly had a rough road. I hope your health greatly improved after it's removed. Please let us know how you are!!!!

I can imagine that it is bittersweet for you, Donna. I'll be thinking of you, and I'll take this opportunity to thank you for your posts which I've always found valuable. Wishing you a smooth and uneventful de-banding and a rapid climb back to good health.

Best wishes, Donna -- I hope you'll keep in touch. You've had a lot of health issues to resolve and I really admire the way you have gone about assessing them and seeking resolution. In all of this you are really showing up for yourself and your health -- that is a big deal, the facing of things head-on. Keep choosing Donna and Happiness first!
