Hi Karen,
I found out my stomach is prolapsed and my insurance will only pay for removal of my band--the cost to replace will not be covered. What is life like, honestly, without your band? How long did you have it? I've had mine 5 years this month. I had lost 150 pounds but I've put 40 back on due to the prolapse. I need advise please?
