hi. i was reading your post and your story sounds like mine. I had to have a an emergency removal of my band last month. I was only banded abt 7 wks, then i started having troubles. I had a slip and a full obstruction. i went into surgery thinking i was going to have the band repositioned and woke up to find it had to be removed. i was very down at first, but am looking forward now. i was going to be rebanded, but am now considering the sleeve. i have your same concerns, tho, abt the longterm data, etc. but, it seems that complications are so common with the band. i just wanted to see if we could connected maybe share info. thanks in advance, beth in texas
