I too am so sorry you are having to remove the band. I have just gone through much of the same. I just returned from a four day hospital stay after having to have my band removed, but then replaced. The band had slipped quite a bit, but the worst part they didnt find out until they got in there, and that was that my stomach had fused to my liver. I let this go on for a LONG time. I didnt want any one messing with my band. I went from 286 to 126 and have no desire to return there. The dr thought it was going to be a simple surgery putting the band back in place. However, a one hour surgery, turned into over hour hours and four days in the hospital to recoop. I asked the dr what could have made it slipp and he said anything from loosing alot of weight to binge eatting. I did throw up ALOT and OFTEn the first couple of years, but didnt tell anyone. I wanted the weight loss more than life itself. And it came to almost my life. So, my advise to everyone, please follow the dr. orders on what to eat, the amounts and how often. And just as importantly communicate with you dr all and any problems you have!!!!! My best to everyone!
BTW...why Mexico to have the band removed?
