I am so sorry you are going through this. Complications were touched on briefly during my journey, however everything I have experienced was never discussed. I went from band to sleeve to y n roux. Last year alone I had 4 surgeries, two of them I could of died...we go with the flow with our doctors advice and each procedure makes everything worse than when I started. I don’t blame, or hold any resposible but myself, but life is now very painful with constant attacks and no answers. My doctor told me “ if all surgeries went like this no one would get this done”. Not very comforting. I am young and have resigned myself to a life of chronic attacks, I am really depressed but I have no options. I feel your despair.

You will do great! Stay positive and let us know how you are

Mine flipped three times and I had surgery to correct the first two. The third time the Dr. Took my band out and I have the sleeve now. I am 3 weeeks post op and feeling good. I wish you the best.

I could sure use support. I was banded 3/25/09 and very new to this strange way of living. I also do not know how to navigate this site...how do you e-mail people? I am not sure I will even be able to find this posting again so you can reach me at silveroaksclydes@q.com Thank you

Hi Everyone, I am home and feeling pretty good. Still on clear liquid diet but tomorrow I get to start full liquid. This afternoon I lost all my energy and feel kinda lousy...did this sudden energy loss happen to anyone else?:tongue_smilie: Hunzi, sorry to hear that your surgery was delayed. I hope you are feeling better.

Me Too!!!! I am getting banded this Wednesday in Bend Oregon. Where are you?

Hi My surgery is scheduled this Wednesday at St Charles Medical Center. Has anyone been banded by Advanced Specialty Care? Would love to hear from you.

Hi Everyone, I am scheduled to be banded this Wednesday 3/25. I was so excited until I read the thread on sliming and pb and now I am scared! I have to tell you I am concerned now.

Hi, I am also scheduled for March 25th. They do not have me on a diet yet...hmmmm I live in Grants pass oregon

Hi Butterfly, I am scheduled for 3/24 and also scared. I am scared because I have heard stories that I wish I hadn't. I was so grateful when I found this site. I live in Grants Pass Oregon and look forward to chatting everyone.

Thank you for the reassuring words, It is nice to know I am not alone!:wink: I think my biggest worry is because I have heard that you wake up in the middle of the night choking on your on saliva. That is really scary to me. I want this more than anything and need to find a way to place these anxieties

Hi All, I am scheduled to get banded 3/24 and I am scared to death. I think I can handle it all but the choking. Years ago I quit smoking and while my lungs were healing I woke up choking and gasping for air. I remember how scared I was and now this fear has turned into a problem for me. Can anyone help me with this choking and not breathing thing that happens? Thank You
