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:

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!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
