Band Getting Removed on 11/30

[BJean 16]

Btw, I've lifted and pulled and pushed things down low and way overhead, time and time again. I do not believe that you could have pulled your port loose if it was properly installed. I'm no doctor, but if the things were that easy to dislodge, everybody would be in a world of hurt.

Thank you BJ

And I hope that very soon you will be able to do the revision too!! I hope it all that they say it is because the band is not!

Take care, Bernadette

Teachermommy, I hope you are feeling better! Do you think this would not have happened if you got the LapBand? Is there a difference between the Realize Band and LapBand? I am so confused. I am scheduled to have the Realize Band, but now I am wondering if I should go with the LapBand. If anyone can answer this question, I would greatly appreciate it. I have until Monday to make my decision! ACK!

PS I am originally from Houston, TX. I am a teacher and a mommy too!

Bernadette, I totally agree! But I do know that some people are in love with their band. I think we're all different and our doctors are different too.

My best to you. Let us know how your revision is for you.

Hi Lisa,

I've asked that same question myself. My doctor had just switched over to the Realize band when he did my surgery, so I definitely feel a little guinea-piggish right about now. I guess I'll have to see how this plays out over the next couple months.

So awesome to hear from another Houston teacher and mommy!
