Im so upset :(
I haven't been feeling "right" the last couple of days. I don't know. I just haven't been feeling like everything was normal. This morning i got stuck. I mean really stuck. I went to the doctor and asked them to send me for an Upper GI. I knew i had slipped. Low and behold...My Nurse practioner thinks so too. My surgeon wasn't in tdy. So i have to do clear liquidsprotein shakes the next too days.I will see my surgeon on friday. I am soooo scared. I don't want to loose my band. This band has saved my life. I need advice or something..
