Hiatal Hernia

It has been a while since I have updated. Last week I began having the severe throwing up and not able to keep food down problems again. Over the past few months my heart burn was getting worse and worse. The doctors kept putting me on prevacid, nexium, etc to help but nothing was working. Then for the past month maybe more - time starts to get blurry when you feel like crapola - I would wake up in the night choking on my own throw up (indigestion). Last week I had a melt down ab

Heres whats up

So I had my fill (or fill removal) a couple of weeks ago. I feel so much better except for heart burn.   Before I had my surgery - January 2009 - I had heart burn a lot. After the surgery it was gone! Awesome.   But since I was sick over a month ago and now that my band is more open I am still having horrible horrible heart burn. To the point of making me nauesious. So I am now taking nexium or some off brand of it to help. I just don't know why I am having such bad heart burn. It

Confused

So - yes I am still in pain. I am trying to get an appointment together as a "transfering patient." I have to fill out a whole bunch of paper work - basically sign my life over in case I die no one can sue them. Anywho.   I do not want to loose the band. But I think that will be my only option. I am going to call them again first thing in the morning to see what other info they need.   Even though having surgery is A LOT cheaper in Mexico. It's a pain. Pay the extra bucks and have i

My Lap Band has Slipped

No one will help me. My lap band has slipped. My surgery took place in Mexico - obviously big mistake. Now no one here in the US will help me. I have called so many places asking for help - they tell me there is nothing I can do for you. There is one doctor I have found that will accept transfering patients for $2500. I am going to do that. I cannot fly out to mexico b/c I cannot find my passport. I have lost 15 lbs in a week. I feel awful. Cannot keep anything down. The doctor I am h
