Just wanted 2 update everyone on my endoscopy..unfortunately my band eroded and moved INSIDE my stomach. I had surgery 2 days after the endoscopy to remove the band. I'm 2 weeks post op & feeling much better. Taking it out was so much worse than putting it in. I've lost 70lbs and will continue on my own to lose my remaining 30lbs. Please to all banded patients- if something doesn't feel right don't let it slide..be persistent! I had absolutely no signs symptoms or causes for this to happen. Know you body. Barrium swallows do NOT pick this up. If any of you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thx, Michelle
