I had my band removed last week. I kept my sickness with my band hidden from my family. I was exactly like you I could never êat anything period. I would be sick all the time. Had testing and band was in place but two weeks ago I was x rayed and my band had slipped so surgery to remove was schedule dc last week. I'm still taking it slow with food but last evening I had a small chicken leg......and didn't get sick. Felt good to eat a piece of chicken, hadn't ate any in quite some time due to the vomiting with band. I am glad I am on my way to 'normacy'
