Though It was a Slippage but instead



Recommended Posts

it was my GallBladder:hurt and it was HUGE:eek: I spent about 14 hours in the ER and then was sch. for a 3pm surg. that got bumped a couple of times. But its all over with now and I'm on the way to recovery......1 sm step at a time. But of course I had to have a total unfil just when I had gotten to my sweet spot a couple of months ago.

Please keep me in your thought a prayers that I will be back on the road to a speedy recovery and don't have a relapse and gain any weight back.

TIA

I'm glad you're on the road to recovery! Not to trivialize what you went through, but I'm glad it was your gall bladder and not a band slippage! In some cases, slips can't be fixed and the doctor removes the band and either makes you wait 6 months for another band surgery or tells you that you can't be rebanded at all. Hope you feel better soon!

Glad to hear the band is OK. I've finally just reached that stage where it is working. Would hate to have to go through anything to stop it now. Good Luck to you, glad to hear you're on the mend.

That's the way I felt. Much better in the long run if I had to have a choice of course.

      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.
