I'm learning the fight is harder the second time around, but excise, tho it hurts for the first week, but, man now. i have won that fight, so i need to continue moving around and keeping busy. walking , So you guys keep it up. :unsure:

I am sorry about you problems. I too lost my band after being hospitalized three times for inability to get most anything down, I pray that you will still reach your goals. If you get this email can you help me get this to the general public on lap band removal I have forgotten how to send a general email. I still feel tight and I still have spasms although it is out. I am wondering if this is normal. My doctor is aware of everything but I am still worried.

Thanks

HI, just being in the site and posting your problems with the removal of you band is a help to alot of people that have had trouble and don't know why or what is going on with there body and mind, to those that it has gone well great, to those that have not, we need to keep trying and not give up is depressing to have to start all over again, and taking drinks and diets, to lose the weight, i personally can't stand to start over and now to lose more then 45lbs . i could scream, but, you have to go forward. and hope for the best, ....
