anyone have band taken out?

I so glad to read all the different issues that occure as a result from the band. I now have set better expectations for my recovery and decided that 6 months of adjustment period is better than six months of cancer treatment or heart surgery. I have not had either but without the band life could turn out that way for many of us.

Bring it on.

BTW: I am not banded yet but late May 05 should be the date.

Thanks all! I cancelled my appointment for an aditional fill. Yesterday morning I went out to eat with my brother who is in town, and had some eggs, hashbrowns, toast, and bacon, and coffee. Well, before I even got halfway done, I felt the actual real STUCK feeling and felt something makeing it's way back up. My eyes opened all wide and I just sat there for a second and then ran to the restrooms. I almost threw up. That would have been my first time to do that . So far I have not trown up--thank God! But anyway, I guess it took a day for my fill to really quick in. Although at night I had 3 hard shell tacos and was fine. I think the toast in the morning is what got me. So, I am still going to give it another week or so to really observe my band.

Oh, and the reason I wake up at night is because my 16 month old wakes up about 2 times every night to have his diaper changed the 1st time at about 1:30am and then a bottle at about 4:30am. So during those times I get those hunger pains.--I am going to ask about the ulcer thing though. Just to be on the safe side.
