Oh yes...I can imagine it drives your husband crazy.My parents are the only ones who know and they are so concerned.My mother often follows me to the restroom because she is concerned.I in turn get agitated.Right now I am going to try to eat some cream of wheat....my go to food. Can no longer tolerate my favorite omelet....gave up completely.

Yes the word bypass is scary but I just wAnt to not be in this lapband situation.I am as fAt as I was in 2004 when I got the band.Ugh.

Oh yes absolutely that's me.I also have a crappy taste in my mouth.Belching,GERD and the worse indigestion.Going out to dinner is dodgy...I would be hungry and soon as the food comes it's like I have a balloon in my stomach...people notice I am not eating...then I eat...oh boy...excuse myself 2 or 3 times to the bathroom.Its not cute.

Who is your doctor?Are you able to take omezarapole or gas-x or Pepcid?

I am just worried about reaching goal and being able to maintain it....that's a head trip because with the band I feel like an involuntary bulimic.Sometimes I can eat ,other times not,sometimes so hungry.Cant tolerate solid foods sometimes...slider foods because of fear of vomiting up.

LOL...ok.

I am still undecided about the revision.Is it sleeve or bypass?

Courageous...good luck...keep us posted

Oh yeah!!!:-)

I live with PCOS....it's so hard...trying to revise from lap band to sleeve.Our bodies cling to weight so it is not easy to lose weight as fast as many others.

Getting slim and getting "YOU" back is the best revenge especially when they can't figure it out!Keep them mystified...tell them nothing!Its great!

...and people need to mind there own business....you are taking care of "YOU".

Certain people love it when your fat!!Makes them feel good and they have a way of feeling superior in a backhanded way..Well I am tired of being the Fat So ...so screw and do the have a conversation with them....Lie like the stars and celebrities..."diet and exercise ...I decided to make a lifestyle change" that's it nothin( more to be said.

Has anyone had a GERD test?Endoscopy?

Ava are you serious?!!!OMG...I am on the fence whether I should get a sleeve or a bypass...I can't stand the vomiting.Thanks for being honest.Are you happy with the sleeve overall? Jess do you have any health issues like cholesterol,high blood pressure?Have you been checked for a hernia?Ct scanned.There are those lawyers that handle appeals may you should contact them.I think their names is Lindstrom Healthcare Advocacy Inc wlsappeals.com/ Check them out.

Went to the Er..Ct scan uncovered a mild hiatal hernia.Gonna take that info to my PCP....I know this is related to my band.Have to have this new dr perform an adjustment at the hospital so that he can empty the band and at the same time check for slippage. Doctors won't touch lap band patients in the ER... At least I got the test done.

You state that you are not losingYou are 255 have you lost any weight to get to 255?What is your weight loss per week ?Are you at a stall?when did you get the sleeve?Were you checked for PCOS??Thyroid?Not enough info.

Was just at the ER...nausea,vomiting....finally had enough.They won't touch me....the band is like doctor repellent....they did a cat scan and it noted a small hiatal hernia!!! this has to count for something.The new surgeon will be able to gauge slippage when he does the fill procedure....hopefully this will all be considered for revision.

Doctors won't touch the band in ER...I had a CT and they report a "Small hiatal hernia"In 2 weeks will see the doctor so he can until and see if their is slippage.I desperately want a re is ion. Revision

Doctors won't touch the band.i have a small hiatal hernia.

No evidence of erosion or slippage via ER CT....worried about being able to qualify for revision!Ingo Horizon Health NJ BCBS

I just got out of the ER...no slippage or erosion.Will I still get a revision by NJ Horizon Health

how hard was it to switch to Dr Neff.? .. because I was looking into switching because of the experience with the sleeve thing also and now that Dr Goldstein switched practices..... I believe he is in the same practice as Dr Neff... So i honestly thought it might be easier now with them being associates. How did you like Dr. Goldstein an EVA?

How do you like Dr Boynton?

At the ER...vomiting and extreme pain.Barrium swallow and ct scan to happen tonight.
