Off to do my Endo
No Penni he was not in there with me At least I did not see him. The staff said he was on the phone with The Endo Dr or he was called in. I know he was in the Hosp so I do not know if he came down in between Surgeries. I did mention to him that when you had your endo done the scope was turned around on the entrance. They did show me a pic of that and it looked clear. I really do not think he knows much about the band and I am going to point that out to my band doc. I am feeling alot better as the day goes on. No reflux what so ever but knowing the irritation was there bugs me.. Thanks

Off to do my Endo
Ok I am back.. I feel better today and did manage to eat an over easy egg. Went really slow with that.. Now I need to back up a bit I do have irritation in the lower esophugus and from the pic it is quite red. Sometimes the staff that is working with the docs want to be helpful but tell you stuff that freaks you out. Better not to ask. I wake up from the procedure (do not remember a thing) I ask the gal who was in the room and she says. "Well Doc said he never seen a pouch so small" ok what does that mean. Answer: You have half a pouch and your band is sitting to high near your esophugus. Doc never came in to talk to me and I did see the pics but she took them, they were suppose to be mine but i will try and get them on Wed's when I go back for my follow up. When i got home I called the band Doc and told them what was said. They say that my band is still fine and ok where it's at.. They say you might have miss understood since you were medicated. Believe me when it's my band I heard it.. So what would you believe?? One comment the Endo doc made at conslutation that blew me away was " Are you at done with your weight loss?" If you are why don't you get the band removed? Anyway I will talk more with him on Wed's about that comment but just want to reassure with my Band doc that all is fine.. Thank you all for your words and prayers.. God was truly there - I went thru the waiting pre op without an attack..

Off to do my Endo
I am back and very Groggy. I do have irritation in the lower esophagus and they say Nexium 2 times a day should clear that up with time and Thank God I have no erosion. Everything else looked great... Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers -- gonna go sleep now Got some more for later though. One work of advicse never ask the staff what the results were.. tell you all later

Off to do my Endo
I just got back from my consult with the Endo doc and was put back on Nexium twice a day even though I like the Prilosec OTC. But it's ok Doc is a hottie just plain hot... Oh yeah the endo I check in at 10am and somewhere around 11am they should be doing it.. Will update later In Feb he would like to do a colonoscopy :cry I can never just go with the flow.. Talk to you all later

Not feeling well
I agree with Alex. My inital surgery for the band I bounced back from the Anasthesia but the second surgery for Gall Bladder took me quite a while for it to wear off. Just hang in there it will get better..
-
Done it
Great you are home and on the road to recovery. I was wondering if I would see you drive by but I didn't.. I was down stairs getting a upper Gi..

Mini-gripe session!
I had the same thing happen here at work. This gal was banded 4 months before I was and I lost a whole lot quicker than she was. Well come to have it she stopped talking to me but turned around and talked about me.. Some times people can be down right mean and jealous. Maybe in her world she is not happy with her outcome.. I too would just ignore her and keep up your postive thoughts and wt loss.

I don't think this is normal
(((Hugs)) it will soon pass.
-
is my band still there/.
That is great you are losing. But I agree Phantom Band syndrome

The Scoop on Todays' office visit
I called and talked to the Gasto office - They assure me that once I am there if they see any problem they will give me something. The reason being is they do not want anything to interfer with the Happy drugs they give you. I called my little brother (36yrs) and asked if he would go with me.. Might get us kicked out he is so funny but that should help me. Thanks You all

If you like silver jewelry...
Just wanted to update I have gotten 3 things so far and I love it.. The designs are different and unique and the ring I bought to give as a gift WELL I gave it to myself.. But the other stuff I got I love and yes watch the size cause I did not pay attention the first time around and got a size 8 and that is way to big for me.. But I love my purchases.
