Dear LJS69; I just spent 2 days in the hospital over the weekend and was back in to my physicians office yesterday from terrible pain. I thought my band had slipped but barium swallow showed everything perfect. I'm now wondering if it was a gallbladder attack. My symptoms were terrible vomitting brown bile up until yesterday. Terrible chest pain and back pain behind sternum area anterior/posterior. Then I figured it was my esophagas terribly irritated. I've only had liquids since Saturday until today I had a regular dinner. Does anyone think I should call the doc back and tell him I think it was gallbladder? He thinks maybe I just had a touch of the flu and all the vommitting made the esophageal pain happen. Any thoughts welcome. Banded April 30th 2007; fill May 2007; subsequent unfills, now I have no fluid in the band. Down 80 lbs.

YOU GO GIRL!!! YOU HAVE DONE SO GREAT. I'd like to know more about your journey!

Hey I had mine about the same time in Illinois. How much weight have you lost? I hope you don't think that's rude. You don't have to answer if it is rude I'll understand.

I think your suppossed to keep it 3-4 oz. (mashed potatoes) or about the size of a golfball. I've never been able to tolerate pasta. I had mine April 30th 2007 with a fill May 30th and 2 unfills since. I'm having problems with reflux, chest pain and regurgitation/aspirating at night. I need to get a fluroscope but so far my physician has managed my problems by unfilling band a little 2x. I've lost 72 lbs. I'll help you all that I can. It definately helps to have a support system.
