haven't posted in years!!!!!!!!!!!! Was a long term member years ago...... lost my band due to slippage and horrid issues which almost kille dme and my unborn guy! No ones fauly.... not even my own...... I just get horrid morning sickness..... I neve even got my fill back after my first band prgnancy (in 2007).

I had to have an emergency removal after 37 days on TPN and NG to give baby more time...... till I could take no more of 24 hour puking.......

was I having problems before this.....no......endoscope said so two months befor conception.....at goal and alll......

i cried more that I lost my band in the first hour after waking up that that I had Emerson 8 weeks early.......

would I get the band again now that they are doing the "sleeve: likely not...... I was a self pay and will be getting sleeve soon........ but also I can not have a band back....... the doctor would have sleeved me that night had I not been pregnant.........

and by the way I had the surgery at 11 pm that night......cause it had been scheduled for 3 pm but there was an emergency that needed the OR...... so I don't think I would have had Emerson that early had it not been for that length og time off the mag drip...... but oh well he is here and I am looking foward to my sleeve...... BUT I LIVED and LOVED MY BAND and really enjoyed looking like a thanksgiving turkey at 8 months with my port popping out!

I have heard from some doctors with the complication rates being so high from banding, that bands will become obsolete.

So I guess if you want a band, get it while you can.
