it should be a fairly easy surgery.  they remove the port and then the band.  you don't have any fluid in the band do you??  Good luck.

it is very easy, for you and the surgeon....you will do great!!!! get that thing out of there....

They called my band removal surgery at 9:15 and I was home at 1:30!

The only complication with my band to sleeve revision was a bad reaction to Reglan 5 days post op. Ended up in the ER. I was convinced I had a staple line leak. not even close. As soon as the ER dr saw me, he knew what it was. Guess Reglan is classic for Dystonic Reactions.

Good luck! So glad my band is out. Took my dr an extra 30 minutes to dig it out of my stomach. Yuck!

Thx for the info!!!!!

I just wanted to check on you. You should of had your band removed by now?  Hope all is well

Thank you for asking!!

im doing great.. Just trying to eat the right things and not too much.. It's a real challenge!

My staples come out Thursday.. 

Eating normaly but cheating somtimes :(

OH Im glad youre ok.You are eating normally already? Did they just take the band off and do no other WLS? What are you cheatIng with. Its probably the fact u had so many problems with the band youre happy to be able to eat. Just start again tomorrow dont be too hard on yourself.

I will get the sleeve in three months..

i cheated with having a burger and fries, Snacking a lot just cuz I can :(

its not good..
