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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
