I need my band out and i am so sick right now i can't wait to have it out.... but the anxiety is hitting me hard. having kids had changed me. getting the band in i wasn't even worried. maybe my biggest fear is i will have the band out but i'll still ha


judeloren posted a discussion topic 8 years, 7 months ago

My dr said as its been in there a while ( since 2007) it may be a lot harder to remove. Also it might be pretty sore she may have to cut it out of my muscle. I know everyone was different and i can't wait to have it out no matter what i was just curiou
