I am very interested in your story. I have had the band for 2 years, with a 50 pound weight loss. It has been disheartening for me, and I feel like a failure.
Very Early on I realized that I should ahve had the Bypass as sweets are my downfall. Most recently, my band is causing sharp pains, and discomfort for me.
I want it out VERY badly and am considering my options.
