So you've made your goal weight, exceeded your goal weight, had PS to correct any sagging, happy, healthy and forever committed to eating right and exercising. Free surgeries are being offered to REMOVE your band, do you take it out, do you leave it in and why.

i would keep mine because i can still eat a whole box of girl scout Cookies with out thinking about it...and will if you leave them near me...do you have some dan??

Alas I do not, I have dumped all the good stuff in advance so I can get results like you have.

Definitely would keep mine just to avert the binge temptations. I could eat box after box of girlscout Cookies. Damn I love those thin mints!

I might end up getting a partial unfill when I get to goal just so I can have some foods that I can't right now.

that's what i've been doing brad. finding the least amt of fill needed for maintenance. no food/drink is off limits right now & don't plan to change/fix what's not broken....keeping the band for as long as i can.

NEVER EVER have that removed. It removed my hunger... without it, the weight would come right back. If I were to have band issues and need it removed, I'd immediately revise to a sleeve. No questions.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
