Trouble

I was banded in March of this year. I have lost 56 lbs but I have had a lot of trouble ever since.

 

Problems I have are pain where my port is. Not to bad more irritating then anything but it does hurt. This is the more minor problem.

 

The major problems I have are with eating. It started out with carbonated drinks. KILLED ME 100 times over with only one drink. Ok so I learned not to even try those. Problem solved!

 

Pasta's and bread's are another thing I learned early on not to eat. Eating these or and trying to drink carbonated drinks would make my chest hurt soooooo kinda like right after be banded and having all that gas inside. Or what I call it is "like having what I would think a heart attack feels like". It is the worst pain!

 

But now as in the last three to four months I have been having trouble eating just about anything. I used to be able to eat bananas after being banded and now I can't eat those along with tons of other things some you wouldnt even think would bother you like yogurt!

 

Day to day is different but I never know what is going to kill me and the only thing I can do when it starts hurting that bad is to make myself throw up. For the last four months I have been throwing up alot so therefore I am hungry alot and will eat whatever wont hurt me and it isnt always healthy. My husband says I have "medically induced bulimia".

 

Anyways I have mentioned this to my Doctor but not to the full extent only because I want so bad to loose this weight and the one time I semi told him, he said that I didnt need to be injected for awhile. I want my injections. I have only had four and I am no where near full. I go see my Doctor this Wedensday and intend to tell him EVERYTHING as I can not stand this anymore but was wondering in the mean time if anybody knows whats going on or something I can do.

 

Thank you!

I have that same problem. I can eat something for dinne on day and take it to lunch the next and it want go down. Some time I think stress and how fast you eat effect the band.

You need to tell you doctor everything immediately. Not telling him, or only giving partial information intentionally, is extremely irresponsible. You're putting yourself at major risk. Fills don't result in losing weight, burning more calories than you consume does. When you're too tight (which it sounds like you are), not only are you more likely to gain weight but you're at very high risk for a slip, too.
