Recommended Posts

:) :cry

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to give everyone an update on my band removal. I talked to my surgeon here where I live, and he has agreed to take my band out.. well, so far so good.. he is going to have my records faxed to him and then he will decide if he can do it.. I am thrilled about this.. and my insurance will cover the surgery. yahooooooooo :D

Don't get me wrong, I am very bummed about this whole band erosion thing, but I am glad to be saving thousands of dollars...

Well, thanks again for everyone's support!!!

EROSION IS HELL ON EARTH :D !!!

For no particular reason, my husband has asked me to add this photo to my post:

I am sorry to hear about your erosion and my prayers are with you.

On a lighter note...

Can you ask hubby if he has a picture of the Dolphin's helmet instead... it's much more attractive to the eye.

Very sorry to hear about the erosion, Francesca. While I realize its probably not going to make ya feel any better at this point, from the last pictures I saw of you, you're looking absolutely stunning, so hey, you've got that :)

My thoughts will be with you through the surgery.

Oh .. and tell the hubby that a Saints helmet would look soooo much better in that space :D

Aw Francesca. I'm really sorry about your erosion. You have done so well and I know it's a bummer. Glad your insurance is paying for the removal though. Do you have a date yet? Keep us posted and you will be in my prayers.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
