You can add me to the list of those that will be sending prayers and positive vibes your way. I love your additude on this, I really think stressing and obsessing when something like this happens is counterproductive! Wishing you a speedy and easy recovery from this!

Hi Alexandra

I haven't "been" here in months and am so sorry to hear you're having band trouble - hope it's resolved in the best way. Thinking of you, and sending you love and support xx xx xx

Bright! I just said hi to you on another thread, it's so great to see your beautiful face!

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm trying not to dwell on Monday, just trying to get through the weekend in decent spirits. Hope you have a wonderful Easter, and you know I'll be keeping y'all posted.

Aw thanks so much Alex - I so miss my "family" here - should log on more but I'm pretending I don't need to deal with my weight/band issues. I often think of you and couldn't believe it when I read this thread....you sound positive & I'm going with that - I'll check in monday to see how you got on - best of luck, love and magic good things!

love N xx

Alex! I've been off and came in to see this!

because you and I share the same doctors, office staff, etc it's a certain connection, and when I saw that you are going through this I was so concerned!

Right now, your probably in surgery, so sending good thoughts your way.

I also have reflux problems, but I always did. I also have had a sore throat for two weeks, but I also have allergies. It's awful hard to figure out at times if it's something else or our band.

I have the 4 cc band placed last year, I'm curious as to what Dr. Abkin thinks of replacing the current band with the VG.

Keep us posted!

Alex,

I just now read this thread for the first time. I am really praying everything has worked out for you!You are a very strong and encouraging woman and I know what ever is dealt to you, you will handle with grace. You were one of the people on here that encouraged me every step of the way while I was fighting my insurance company to get my band. Please keep us updated!!!

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. I hope they can put a new one in with no problems. You are and have been such an inspiration to so many of us. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

[SillyWillyMommy 2]

I'm dying to know what happened.... Hopefully, they were abled to replace it right there. Good luck, my thoughts are with you.

I had my band replaced 6 days ago due to a slip. My insurance paid even though I am close to my goal weight. The replacement surgery was longer but less painfull than my original surgery. I feel a lot better getting it fixed. Good luck with yours, don't give up on getting a replacement band.Jen
