Well I just want to say this...I LOVE MY BAND!!! At the moment by band does not love me. Apparently when my band was placed it was placed in an awkward position. This is liked what caused my slip and dilation in May. Well that resolved itself and I received a fill in June and another fill in July. Well I went in today for a fill. Guess what...my band is dilated and has slipped again. I was upset at first. But now I'm calm. This will require them going in and fixing the issue. Am I going to let them...NOPE.
As much as I love my band it's time to let it go. This is the 2nd slip in 2 months. I'm not one for giving second and third chances. LOL. I'm going to have my band removed. Not sure when. I meet with a different surgeon on August 23rd. This will all take place either before or after B3. For now I'm on liquids for 7 days. Ha...I hate liquids.
I say all of this to say. I am still an advocate for the band...I will still recommend the band to others before any other surgery. My band has helped me lose and keep off 60 lbs. Is my journey over. Hell no...it is just beginning.
Until next time my loves...

Oh Dawnya. I really feel for you :o( I hope the doctor/clinic who placed it incorrectly are covering your costs. I hate it when someone messes up and the sufferer has to pay to fix it. Thinking of you.
I hope they get you all taken care of quickly and with as little drama as possible!! ((hugs))
That sucks but I LOVE your attitude about it. Hoping they get it taken care of quickly for you so you can continue on your successful journey!
Well crappity do dah day! Not that you asked, but I think you're doing the right thing. No need to play with this foolishness any longer than you have to. You got this!
Wow- you sound like you have a great attitude. I am sorry about your problems but sending you my thoughts and prayers. You will keep winning in this weight loss journey.
I'm sorry about this! I will keep you in my thoughts! I also love your attitude! With your positivity there is no way you won't succeed!!
You have a great attitude about it. I like you, would probably not give a 2nd or 3rd chance. You will succeed because you have done the work.
That is just poopy woopy however, I have no doubt whatsoever that you will still be successful. Seriously. Not one doubt. xoxo
Holy S H batman! That sucks. Great atitude you have. Are you going to have a revision? How's the sugar? I'm finally back on track 10 days later - no sugar today....so far... I'm expecting a headache tomorrow ~ as usual. Thinking of you.
xoxoxox
So sorry to hear about this! I think I would make the same decision...I'm not about 2nd and 3rd chances either. I feel ya on the liquids...bleh
Oh babe, what crappy news. It's a good decision, why keep battling it? You'll find another way to do it. Love you.
I agree! One chance, not two or three! You are absolutely making the right decision and you will continue to be a success regardless of what road you choose!
Me love you long time. <3
I'm sorry I missed your call yesterday.
Oops, I mean, I'm sorry I didn't call when you told me to.*
Hang in there Sister!!! Hugs!
Sorry to hear the news, but kudos to you for being able to stay positive through it.
You've made great progress losing and keeping of 60 pounds. Kudos on deciding to continue on your healthy living journey no matter what!
Sorry about the troubles, but I commend you on you positive outlook that you have. Onward!
I just saw this. So sorry you're losing your band but your positivity and attitude about the whole thing is so zen and inspiring. I know you'll still reach your goals no matter what!
So funny how your posts always come just at the right time for me to read them. I just went to have a talk with my surgeon and unfortunately, I too have to have my band removed. I have had so many problems that my surgeon is the one who has said it has to come out. I am going to opt for a sleeve gastrectomy, which she is going to do at the same time of the band removal. By this time next month I expect to be on a liquid pre-op diet and prepping for surgery. meh. best of luck! and you're right, this isn't the end of the journey, this is just the beginning.
