  1. Thank you guys for responding and please continue to keep my in your prayers as I fight this battle
  2. Hi my name is Lesia, I was banded November 2011, and all is well(i think) my starting was 307 ibs I weighed yesterday at at 258 ib, I know I have a ways to go but I'm getting there Here's the issue that I'm having 2 weeks I started feeling not myself(feet swelling,numbness in hands,light headed dizziness, sharp chest pains) So i go to my primary dr and a cardiologist and all is well but was pit back on blood pressure.... So per my dr advice I went back to my lap-band dr(true results az) and told them what was going on. The nurse says we need to do a barium and an egd but we cant do it today.. But we should remove all your Fluid 10cc and schedule the other appointments to see if there is my band was slipped... LOW AND BEHOLD She had problems inserting into my port and 5 minutes later she says "got it" and begin to remove fluid. IMMEDIATELY I begun to fill this pressure like feeling coming from my belly button up into my chest and BAM it sat there between my breast bone The nurse says it should feel like a release but it never passed several minutes later I ask for them to call 911(they hesitated) but I was taken to the ER where they did a CT scan that showed ever thing was ok (but they could not tell me anything about my band ad referred me back to my lapbad dr And Yes I woke up this morning still having discomfort between my breast bone(it feels like im being squeezed) and a slight pain in mu left side I WOULD TRULY GRATEFUL for any information on this matter
