Wow, I'm sure sorry to hear about the complications and that you had to give up the band. I skimmed over everyone's responses, so if I'm asking a question that's already been asked, please forgive..

Would it be possible to put you in a bigger band? Say the VG band? Do you have any hopes or plans to try again?

I'm not even thinking of putting anything on my stomach again. Even Dr. Rodriguez wouldn't bring that subject up while I was in Monterrey. I know, because someone asked him about it, and he said he wasn't going there right now! :Banane27: At the moment, I just want to heal up my esophagus and stomach. As soon as I'm feeling better, I'm going to start walking, and when I'm able to eat solid food again, I'll start measuring it out. I can do this! :lol:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
