Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear about your losing the band. I feel horrible that you had to go through all of this. I would be in mourning too. I'm glad that you got help when you did, it could have been fatal. God Bless you.

Carolyn, I know that you are so sad. But you and your family must be so thankful that this problem was found before it became fatal. That is so scary! Please give yourself the time needed to heal. If you feel like it, you might want to read a couple of helpful Support posts: Donali's Secrets to Success and Michelle's Moments. They both give several excellent ideas about how to daily live a healthier life. And that's why we've gotten the band, right? Keep posting here, this is a wonderful support group. Best of luck to you! Hugs and prayers,

Carolyn, this is simply awful - I am so sorry this happened, and that it turned into such a dangerous situation!!

I felt like my last hope had been ripped from my hands, too, when I lost my band. But I realized (after a couple of days of incoherrent sobbing) that as long as I was still alive and in good health there was always hope.

It may not seem like it now, but your future is just as bright with health, love and happiness as these banded people. We, for some reason, have been given different paths - who knows at what point they will converge back to where we thought we were going?

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need moral support. As they say, "I've been there, done that...."

**hugs**

Thanks everyone. Each message means a lot to me. Not in the most positive frame of mind at the moment. I am struggling to just feel half way decent been sick for so long.
