I've had my band for one week now and I already know I made a mistake and want it taken out. I can't sleep at night, coughing all the time and feel like I have this block in the middle of my chest. I'm still on liquids and popcicles. I feel hungry all the time. I see my doctor for my first visit in about 1 week. I know he will be disappointed when I say that I want it out since I haven't even completely healed. I'm hoping to be healed and have it removed in January.

Does insurance pay for removal?

How long did you have the band before you had it removed?

Have you talked to your doctor about having the band removed? I'm worried about health issues and am considering removing the band after I loose 25 - 30 pounds.
