X-Post - I have lost my band

[Guest guest]

I am very saddened to report that I have lost my band. I just got

out of the hospital. Dr. Simpson had to remove it because it had

eroded into my stomach. That was the cause of the reoccuring

infection in my port area. They had scoped me on Thursday,

discovered it and admitted me. On Friday I had surgery and home on

Monday. I don't feel as chipper after this procedure as when it was

placed. I have pretty ugly nausea this time to deal with, but all

will be fine in time I am sure.

Thursday I was pretty teary about the loss of the band. But I can't

dwell on that now. I am going to give it my all to continued my

bandster ways, continue back with exercising and take off the rest

of the weight in due time. The Dr. says I can, so if I believe?

I am on clear liquids for another week, then move into the soft food

from there. So pretty much sounds like the same regime as when a

band is placed. The good part, is I'm sure to get a kick start on

the .lbs lost with what I'll be eating!
