Marax

I see that is has been awhile since either of you have posted. I have been trying to deal with very similar symptoms (not to mention test after unfruitful test) for the last six months or so. I'm curious if either of you have found what the underlying problem was, and what (if anything) has solved, or provided relief for, it? So far, for me, it's been a diagnosis of possible minor slip on the band, and mild gastroparesis. This is the culmination of several barium tests, gallbladder function tests, abdominal xrays, two CT scans, ultrasound after ultrasound, partial emptying of the band, motiility enhancing prescriptions, two emptying studies, and lots and lots of ups and downs in my quality of life (ability to eat day to day, pain and bloating, etc.). When I feel okay, I swear it must be mostly stress related... When I go through a week or two of pain, I swear that this isn't normal, and I cannot go on living like this any longer. Currently, I'm in the latter of those two phases. Which is what brought me back to the forums, today. Any help we would be greatly appreciated.
