Just before I was to be banded in all the tests they said I was severely anemic 28... They wanted to put me in the hospital.. I freaked long story.. many tests.. doctors.. found ulcers in my small intestine. Told me I have Crohns disease Up until just recently they wouldn't band Crohns patients... I was the first for my doc... Had the band done Aug. 1st 2008 and it is all good... 30 pounds lost.....don't worry I know how you feel. I also thought I would die if I couldn't have the band... Have faith.. Show a positive side to the doc... He told me he would have not banded me if I had not be en so positive...Good Luck we are here for you...:biggrin:
