Oh my gosh Nicole, I am so very sorry to hear that you have to go through having it removed and especially sorry for all the suffering you went through! Do you know why you were having all those problems after having the band for as long as you did? When did the problems start and what were your symptoms? Is Dr. O removing it? How much does that cost?
Sorry for all the questions, I just feel like I should know what can happen...
Congratulations on that huge weight loss, you are definitely an inspiration!!!!
This freaks me out as I am just starting my journey...I am so very sorry you have had to suffer
