Banded in Ft Worth in 2012- I just met with a new surgeon yesterday after having a swallow study. My esophagus is expanding causing reflux, etc. He unfilled the band and set me up for a follow up swallow study and follow up with him on Aug 15th. We talked about options. Do I want the sleeve or bypass? With revision do they make you wait months and months? Thanks...

So tempted to post the misery i am feeling from going from 6 to 7 cc' s last thursday. But then i read all these posts and can barely stand to be a part of this. I have such a bad attitude about support groups and yet here i am researching. Am i a self loathing bandster?

Omg . Banded 2 1/2 months now and having my first episode. I'm sliming ! It is disgusting. So uncomfortable.

Dr. Ferrar at Southwest Endocrinology is amazing. I have had a fill there and so happy with him and the experience.

i was banded last wednesday. i had terrible migraines that the hydrocodone were not touching. the doctor called in a nasal spray pain reliever (very strong) that took the pain away immediately.

Does anyone know about the Southwest Endocrinology Group in Albuquerque New Mexico? I am scheduled for my first fill and am prepared to drive back to Ft. Worth (where i had surgery) because I am reluctant to go somewhere new to the fill process.....

thanks.

such an awesome and poignant article. thanks for posting.

the surgery has made a physical change to our stomach, we need to make the changes to our heads. stinking thinking, we all have it ....when these thoughts start to bubble up, get up, walk outside, take some deep breathes and realize, our thinking has put us in some lousy places in the past, just put the breaks on them... start exercising the brain to not allow these sabatoging messages in. it takes time.
