  1. in 2007 I was at my all time high of 465lbs, My surgen would not operate on me at that weight and said I had to lose down to 400 lbs, So over the next 3 months or so I droped the wiight and was down to 386 lbs on the morening of sugery in march of 2008. the dr put in a AP large band and I stayed in the hospital 2 days. when I was released from the hospital I weighed 402 lbs (how that possilbe) lol.. Any way fast foward a year or so and the dr is not satasfied with my weight loss and scalds me when I had my last feel at 360lbs telling me that if Im not willing to help my self then she cant help me. That feel was to tight but I didnt go back because of the scaulding she gave me. I lived with constant PBing (every time I ate) for almost 3 years. The weight loss still wasnt there thoe I was down to 328lbs. I had no choice but to go back to her because of the damage all the PBing had done, I was in constant pain and ended up at the er severl times because I thought I was having a heart attack. They wanted me to go see her and get checked out. So I go to her and she does a barium swallow test and a upper gi with the scope down the throught and tells me that I had some erosion in my esoficus (spelling is not my strong point). She does a complete up fell and said I have to let it heal before she slowly starts feeling me agian... That was in the end of augest, I have gone back and got one feel but today I am 70lbs heavyer than I was when she done the upfill! how is it even possible to gain 70 lbs in 3.5 months!!??? I am scared and dont know what to do. I am afraid that if I go see her that she will turn me away and tell me to find another dr... Please advise me on what to do.
