on wednesday 4days ago i had a stuck episode and vomited alot and that night i had server heart burn i took mylanta the next dayi found it was a bit heard to eat Soup it went down but found it felt like i had heart burn or pressur up top of my tummy and need to get the gas out so after id burp id feel a bit better and thats how ive been this whole 4days...i rang the dr on friday and she said maybe it still stuck that she would unfill so i could flush it out but i opted to wait out the week end on sloppy foods to see if any thing changes....but this morning i tryed soup again and it felt like id drank a hot coffee in my tummy and i need to burp so i only managed about 7 teaspoons of soup...so i need advice i havent vomited since wednesday and dont have reflux at night at all......what does a slipped band feel like???? and if its mild can they loosen it off completely and see if it settles back by itself instead of another surgury????? any help please
my motivation for the band was for a few things
1. i am studying to become a doctor of physical therapy and i felt as if my obesity would cause patients to not take me seriously
2. i am young and i missed out on countless opportunities simply because of my weight
3. i knew that there was a sexy body somewhere underneath all of that fat and i was ready to see it after 10 years of morbid obesity
4. and most importantly - for MYSELF. i could care less about what the world had to say, but my opinion of myself was so low. i didn't value or respect myself. the band was the start of a whole new me and a completely new chance at life.
5. 8 days before my surgery, my high school sweetheart and i finally rekindled our romance and started dating for the second time. i knew that i was in love and i wanted to give him the best possible me i could give him because he deserves the best. now 16 months later, we already speak of our future and children. i am glad i made the decision to get health for both myself and for my future family.
16 months, 137 pounds lost, love and success found. getting the lapband was the true beginning of my life. every aspect of my life has improved - i'm currently on the deans list while studying for my bachelors in biology, the love of my life has loved me for who i was and who i am today, i got accepted into graduate school, and for the first time in my life i feel SEXY. it has honestly been the greatest blessing of my life. when one thing falls into place, the rest follows. i wish you the best of luck <3 stay positive !
