  1. Thank you all for your responses- I am now down 2 lbs but its still frustrating and am going to my Dr tomorrow to have some tests ran- fingers crossed!
  2. I haven't changed my diet or daily work/work out routine to have an allergic reaction
  3. I had my surgery In august 2009, I started at 304 and by August 2011, I met my goal weight of 140. I usually fluctuate from 138-143. My last adjustment was in October 2010. I started getting these severe back pains in my mid to lower back when I would try to eat something at the beginning of this month. This lasted for about 2 weeks, until I decided to go back to my Dr and he recommended that I remove the Fluid from my band to see if that helped and also sent me to get an upper GI to see if it had slipped. As soon as he removed the fluid, I was able to eat- YAY! I did not go crazy as I still watched my caloric intake and excerisize daily (teach 5 Zumba classes per week); however, I seem to have gained 15 lbs in 7 days!!! I went to my primary Dr as I thought it was probably Water weight as I was so bloated and you could see it in my hands & feet. He sent me to the ER for an EKG, echo, blood tests, etc and everything came back normal.... He released me the next day, gave me a prescription for lasiks and told me to go about my normal routine. The scrip was for 10 days and I am contiuing my workouts however nothing has happened and my body feels very sluggish and I have no energy! My question- has anyone had this issue after a band adjustment?
