Hi, I know what you mean, I experienced the same issues as you did. My doctor kept sending me to get an UPI (upper GI) before I saw him each time. I was having issues and was having extremely bad heart burn. I was diagnosed a couple of months ago with a hernia in my esophagus. My doctor gave me two options: fix the hernia or take out the bad and replace with the sleeve. I opted to take out the band and replace with the sleeve. My surgery is set for 11/20/12 I am excited and ready to lose this weight. Because my doctor had to open up my band I have gained weight. I know that this is scary and you don't know what to do. The best option for me is to have the sleeve surgery and a healthy and happy life. Be strong, in your heart you already know what you need to do.

Wow, you look really good. Congratulations keep up the good work. You will reach your goal.

Congratulations on such a great achievement - it is not easy to lose the weight, but it was worth the it.
