Well the day is almost here when my band comes out.I am sorry worried. Not knowing what is going to happen when I go to the hospital tomorrow. Im so annoyed mu sugery time is so late. I don't have to be there till 1245. And Sugery time is scheduled for 215 ..This really s....k s.

Yes I'm having some major issues. I have precancer cells that they food in my stomach. The walls around my band are thinking, which has caused my band too be very tight. ( I have nothing in the band) I am not able to eat and keep it down. Almost everything comes back up,

I have a few questions about the recovery time after having your band out, what is it like? My Dr said it's the same as when the band went in. I was out of work for almost 2 weeks. I was hoping to go back the Monday after. My surgery is on a Wednesday . My other question is how long after the surgery do you have to wait before you can have sex? If any of you have any answers that would be good.

Thank you I will do that.

I wish I could have something else I was hoping to do the sleeve. But my Dr said my insurance wouldn't cover it because my BMI is too low since I have lost over 100 lbs. So I stuck with nothing. (

I have had my band since 2/2/10 and I have lost 100+ lbs. I have some issues that have caused the walls around my band to thicken which has caused my band to become very tight. My band is completely empty. I have a lot to of issues getting food down. The opening is the size of a pin hole. I saw it on the upper GI ,I had Monday. Plus I have found out that I have precancerous cells in my stomach. So my Dr is taking out the band on 7/18/12. Im not very happy about this. I'm scared that I'm going to gain the weight back. This weight loss has changed my life... My Dr has even said that most of her patients gain weight back. Plus to make it worse everyone I talk to says I will be cube and for the past 2yrs I have lerned to eat. Everyone makes this sou d so east, NOT! . If any one as any advice or have had this happen to them please if me some kind of hope!!!

I now have my appointed to have band removed. Not happy about it. I have lost 100+ lbs I'm so scared of gaining the weight back. Losing all that weight has changed my life, in so many ways. Plus I'm afraid of going for the surgery. I hated the way I felt after the band went in,. How did any of you felt after?

So did they suggest taking out the band? Did it help once the band came out?

I have a question for all of you? Did you have to have the band removed because of the cancer? I just found out that I have the precancerous cells in my stomach. I had a endoscopy done because I have not been able to keep food down. It showed that the food was getting trapped and not passing the band. The band is very tight. But there is no fluid in the band. I have read that some people think that the band causes this. Cancer that is. Now I'm scared not sure what to do.. If anyone was any info or advice let me know.
