Banded in June 2004, have lost 100 lbs but for the past 2 years I have been throwing up every meal. I went to my Doctor concerning this and he sent me to a psychologist that did me no good because he kept falling asleep during my sessions. I went back to my Doctor and told him what had went on and they told me that I needed to slow down my eating and learn how to eat like I did when I first got my band, they also informed me that they did not have another Doctor or anyone that they could refer me to that could help me with my problem. I now throw up water and cannot keep anything down, my Doc has told me that there is not a problem with my band and has told me that I am bulemic. I am now gaining weight again and have no energy, my hair is falling out. Does anyone know a Doctor in this area who I can go to for a 2nd opinion or just for help getting my head on straight. This is a long term problem and it is really starting to get old.
