Well I survived my surgery and am now band free, I feel better already! I can swallow better and my gut hurts less. We'll see how well it is after the surgical swelling goes down. My lungs came thru with flying colors,didn't even need the breathing machine afterwards, woke up with no tube in my nose. What a relief that was! So I free of that horrid thing but I'll still be around here to annoy everyone!

I am coming in on the tail end of this convo. I have had my band for 3 almost 4 years now and I am still having trouble with vomiting and eating in general. I can't eat eggs anymore....:-( . I am just curious why you chose to reverse it and did your insurance cover it?

I had mine removed last week. Had it for 9 yrs. I am pain free , but nervous about the future. Good luck to you.
