Hello Ladies,

Please keep me in your prayers..........I am at a lost for words ............they had to remove my band yesterday because my body started rejected it. I haven't eaten since last week and my first time having liquids was this morning since wednesday..........:embaressed_smile:! I can't believe and I am still in shock! My doc wants me to look into other procedures because he said the lapband is not for me...........I don't really know what to do..........Father it's me again standing in the need of prayer!!

I am so sorry. I pray that HE gives you the strength that you need right now and the wisdom to do what is going to be right for your body. Be blessed.

Poohprecious, I am so sad as I am typing this. I can't imagine how you are feeling right now.

Please know that the will of God will never take you where the power of God will not protect you.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It may help someone here someday. Were there any symptoms early on? Is there anything we should be on the look out for?

I am praying for your health and recovery. Peace and Love.

My thoughts and most importantly, my prayers are with you. I really don't know what to tell you or say because I can only imagine what I would feel like. God says He will never put more on us than we can bear and though to some it may not seem like a big deal, but to us, it's our life and our health. The only thing I know to do when I can't do no more is to put my face to the wall and let HIM do his thang! The battle is already won. Stay prayerful and CONTINUOUSLY

ohhh....I am so sorry to hear that. Please know that you are in my prayers.

Curves

I have lost over 40lbs with it and that is a blessing within itself. Please continue to pray for my success and as I will constantly have you guys in my prayers! Be Blessed!

I am so sorry to hear this. I know getting banded was very important to you. Just remember everything happens for a reason. Just continue to pray and He will lead you just where you need to be. Stay encouraged.

poohprecious-

I am so sorry for you! You are in my prayers. I cannot imagine how you are feeling, but you can see by this post, that alot of us really care. Take one step at a time. You need to heal, then look into other options. Keep us up to date.

Hi Poohprecious, so very sorry to hear that you have lost your band. It hurts me to hear that so I can only imagine how you feel right now. I will keep you in my prayers, try to be strong. I got my band two years ago and had problems with it in the beginning but things worked out. God has a plan in store for you.

Awww I love my sisters.............you guys don't know how much your prayers have helped me. I thought I was going to lose my mind but things are a little better........not only did I lose my band but me and my fiance decided to part ways as well!!! Things do happen for a reason..........Please please please continue to keep me in your prayers....God knows I need it but he promised that he will supply all of my needs and I know that ....everything is going to me alright!! My mom sang this song to me and it really made me feel so much better.........the words are :I don't feel no ways tired....I've come to far from where I started from..nobody told me that the road would be easy and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me.............So ladies be blessed and know that your sister in Texas loves you!!!!

One more thing.......I need some advice.................My doctor asked me how do I feel about the sleeve and I don't know much about it! But that is still another object in your body so my body make reject that too...........and the sleeve is not reversible .......I don't know what to do ladies!! Plus I only want to loose 40 more lbs and gastric bypass is too drastic for such a small amount of weight in my opinion! I can't get my money back (Thank Goodness it was covered by my insurance) but I still walk away with nothing.......!! My doctor is so hurt and he wants to try another surgery on me but I am so confused....I selected lapband because it was the one with less complications..........!!! See why I need yall to pray for me........I'm getting ready to nut up in Texas!!!! LOL............Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello Soror Kia. I am new to the forum but spent today reading all the post. I am so sorry to hear about the band and your fiance I got this from another board.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast.

INSPIRATION

The phrase, God is good all the time and all the time, God is good is a simple yet effective way of explaining the grace afforded to you every day by God. It is gift that cannot be exchanged, returned or re-gifted. The grace God gives is just what you need to accomplish today's goal. I bet you have already felt God's grace this morning; now accomplish today's goals.

My doctor asked me how do I feel about the sleeve and I don't know much about it!

I may be misunderstanding, but I don't think the sleeve is a device. I thought it was where they take your stomach and cut it into a tube like shape. It limits your food intake, but it does not have the malabsorption of bypass. You are right in that it is not reverible. The is a forum on here about it. You may be able to read some of the posts on there and also maybe have some questions answered. I wish the best with your decision making.
