Wake up with no band!!!!

[mandyb 3]

Tomorrow I am having surgery; hoping they can fix my problem of "Being TOO TIGHT"! With no Fluid in my band! I haven't eaten in 2 1/2 weeks.. and anything I put in my mouth either comes back up or hurts like hell going down!

I need to be at the hospital for 6 am! I will be up at 4am to be out of the house by 5:15! I most likely will not sleep tonight!

I went to the park today with my hubby and kids and walked around the track (walked a mile today)... While I was walking, I keep thinking.... "What am I going to do if I wake up and they took my band out"!!!!!!!!!?????????

I am scared that I will just end up gaining all the weight back! I know I have my mind set to keep going and keep losing! But in the back of my mind I am scared as hell! Like I wake up and there it is.. I am back at 270 and this was all a dream! I never lost 85 lbs!

I am scared for tomorrow! I am not sure what to expect!

Needed to vent! Thanks for listening!

Well can you afford to live without eating. Is the band that important that you would rather maybe not live and leave your husband and children then be able to be healthy.

Sorry you are having so much trouble. I hope your surgery goes well!

Did you talk to your dr about IF the band had to go could he do the sleeve? I know a lady who lost her band due to a car accident and she told him to do the sleeve if it couldnt be repaired or put back in. it did turn out she had the sleeve and is still losing.....

good luck, i know i would feel the same as you. I LOVE my band but u need to eat to live.....

in my prayers !!

Just wondering how it went. Sorry some replies wer eharsh...I know you're not leaniogn towards dying over keeping the band (duh...sorry people but really)...I'd be scared too, of undoing all the hard work so far. I was also going to suggest the sleeve or even bypass if you do los eyour band. Many hugs...let us know how it went?

First of all, WOW! Congrats on all the weight you've lost!! I totally understand your concern, but as successful as you've been, I think a lot of your achievement has come from you and not your band...yeah, it would suck to lose it, but I think you'd be able to keep on going. It must be awful not being able to keep anything down. Stay positive, and I wish you well!

I hope it goes well for you. I know the feeling of a failing band very well.

If they take it ! You will still have to keep track of your calories.

I gained it back, Trust me,, You don't even want to go there.

They might give you a band further down the rd.. Depends on you DR..

Good Health to you, Shirley.

Wishing you health and happiness regardless of today's outcome.

Just wanted to update you all!
