So I'm on my way to the hospital for an emergency removal. After 6 years and 7 months of banding. It's a case of a second slip ( 1st was march 2011). Sad to loose my band, but looking forward to not being in constant pain.

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this!! Wishing you all the best!!

These posts always sadden me Hate to see this happen to anyone. Sure wish you the best in your future journey!

I too am sorry you are going through this. I wish you well and a speedy recovery. I also wish you well on any decisions you have to make after having the band removed.

Oh, nooooo, Leena!! Speedy recovery.

So sorry to hear this. Get well soon.

Good luck @@Leena I hope everything goes well for you.

And, good luck with any decision in what to do next.

I had my band removed, and really missed it. Despite my best efforts I really struggled and gained weight back to obese. Now I'm preop for conversion to gastric sleeve... scared, but want to move on with my life.

I already feel a great deal better with it out. The pain from the slip is gone. Now I just have surgery site pain. Having surgery at 215 pounds is so much easier than 350 pounds. I know im going to miss my band after almost 7 yrs it was a part of me. Still have to discuss my conversion options with the Dr. Thanks for the well wishes.

Oh my sorry to hear that. Glad you're feeling better. Good luck with the conversion.
