Having my band removed after 38 days...



Recommended Posts

Today I am having my band removed. I won't get into too much detail but will be posting about all this later. You can follow my story and hear about all the events leading up to this on my website at:

www.TheRealAugustina.com.

Please pray all goes well. I'll be in touch. Much love!

Did you have any vomiting episodes in the first 30 days? Odd your band would slip with erosion so soon?

Never mind. I heard your blog and you did throw up day 2? Not good. That's unfortunate! Could have caused your problem or it could have been a bad placement or poor suturing? Good luck to you.

Yeah true.. to be honesy, the surgeon told me my body just plain rejected the hardware and that I'm that 1-5% of people whose body just doesn't take wel to the band.

I've always said, I'm one in a million.. and not in a good way! lol nahh, but it's time to buckle down and do this the right way!

The 'right way' for me. Clearly, I thought the band was the 'right way', but it wasn't... for me. Please don't be quick to get offended over words, I'm not that type of person. Thanks.

Are you considering the Vertical Sleeve?

My husband was banded 2/19 and had to get it removed 2/22.

His body basically rejected it! He threw up non stop for 16 hours and the band slipped!
