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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
