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

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
