Had surgery Feb 12 to remove band and get sleeve but, too much scar tissue so they only removed the band. There were lots of people getting surgery but I was the only one still in recovery for 8 hours. I couldn't get out of the anesthesia. It's happened before. Oxygen level was low so I was on oxygen for the duration. Finally, I was released. I was sooo upset cause I didn't want to go back again to have another surgery but the Dr thought it was best this way. For 3 days I felt miserable cause I had 4 incisions and they hurt. The pain meds were making me very dizzy so i stopped taking them and held the pain. I was able to work after a week. I've been scheduled for the sleeve for this March 19. I'm a bit scared cause I hate to be in pain and know how sick it makes me. Hopefully, it should go well.

OMG! I am scheduled on 3/26 to have 50% of the lap band removed since the surgeon already removed 50% on 1/15/14 due to an infection, I am praying that he this time he does as agreed and removed the whole thing and do the sleeve. I cant take this! I see you are also in Jersey, do we have the same doctor?
