After 10 years of living with the Band my port has become infected probably due to recent over exercising and moving furniture haven’t seen Doc yet - 4 hours to go before appt. The doctor’s receptionist told me that The lap band will most likely will have to be removed. A part of me says yes I do want it out as I had reflux and had to have all the fluid removed but still had restriction but it was restriction on healthy foods. I’ve improved my diet in the past few years with only organic whole foods with almost no or rare junk food. Totally not me in the past. Gratefully my hormones have calmed down as I reach 60 I’m praying that the inner child I was feeding has grown up🙏 Requesting prayers. Thank you❤️
