  1. I need help...

    · sherrielee36 · 11/02/2010 00:22

    I need Help! I had my BAND 8yrs ago & it doesnt work. I went back the 1st couple times & had the band adjusted thinking it was the band & not me. After several yrs I had no problem eating food still. Im a slow eater anyways. Biggest problem is when I did eat, food felt restricted to go down to my stomach but I still felt hungry. I would wait until the food went down & eat again.
     
    I finally said I am going to make this band work & I went back to the doc. He added some fluid in my band. Now I cant drink or eat first thing in the morning. In the middle of the night when I am parched I can not drink. I just swish water around in my mouth and spit it out .
     
    MY Delima is: I feel embarrassed to go back to doctor but I have gained weight since I saw him. I want to loose weight. Im not loosing the weight because of the band. Should I go back to doc & tell him to open the band completely so I can drink first thing in the morning & have a healthy protein breakfast or just leave it as is?
     
    Please help!!!
