was banded in 2012 never used it because port turned over..in 2015 band portal was supposedly fixed after going into hospital with extreme nausea and stomach discomfort..It is 2018 and went back to surgeon to find out if this band was the cause of my severe nausea...found out it flipped again..I never used this and think I have damage to VAGUS nerve GASTROPARESIS... WANT THIS REMOVED BUT AFRAID IT WILL DO MORE DAMAGE

OK, I may be impatient, but I have not lost 'anything' 2 weeks post-op. I'm walking, and am still in the soft food stage, so not sure what is going on. I understand my body is healing, but I'm eating soooo much less, and walking, and yet, nothing! I can't increase my food intake because I was told to eat about an oz of Protein eveyr other hour or so.
I'm trying not to get discouraged, but it's hard not to. I don't get my first fill until the 19th of Sept. I got banded Aug 17th.
ARGH!
