My band is out!!!

Thank you for all your prayers! I am happy to report there was no erosion as suspected. 

Good. Wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery. 

Congrats I hope recovery is just as easy. Mine has been out for close to a year and I've never been happier.

Consider this as  me doing a HAPPY Dance!! Sending healing Energies for a uneventful recovery

Thanks! I am so happy! I feel great today! I haven't had any reflux but I haven't started a regular diet yet either. I am so excited. I may start visiting the revision and fail group to see what is what there. I don't post much although I try to lurk around.  Many of you have helped me over the past 3 and 1/2 years. Thank you thank you thank you!

congrats.  I had mine out three months ago and it was fantastic.  After 14 years of being able to eat no real food without wanting to or having to vomit, it has been bliss.  I had an apple for the first time in 14 years.  Such a simple pleasure.  I am now booked in to have surgery on Feb 10.  I wanted the sleeve but because of scarring my only option may be the RNY.  I am torn as I don't know what to do.  I start the liquid diet on Tuesday.  :(

Good Luck! I will be praying for you. I am looking forward to eating fresh fruit and salad. I am going to spend the next 2-3 month eating health and seeing how it goes. My doc suggested the sleeve but he will only do it after the band has been out 2-3 months. So I will think about if but I am more likely to just try on my own. 

Yes it is awesome to have the band out and I have been eating so many foods I have been unable to tolerate.  I unfortunately have not been 'good' so to speak as I just want to try it all.  Hahahahaha.  I know I can't do it on my own, going off my past record.  Thanks for the support.  I will let you know how it goes.
