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.

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.

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 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.

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

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
