NikkiH

Hi. My name is NikkiH and I was banded September 2006. I really have not lost that much weight. I started out at 237 and I weigh currently 211. It seems that over the years I have tried everything to lose the weight . I thought that this was going to be the answer. Sadly, the surgery did not really help me that much. Prior to surgery I had a difficult time losing weight While the band controls my food intake the weight loss has been slow and no I am too embarrassed to go back to the doctor. Lately I have been experiencing some mid-back pain. At first I though I slept in a bad position but now I think that it could be something more. Whenever I eat anything solid it feels as if the food is scraping my esophagus as it goes down and when it gets to the banded area it feels as if I am having some sort of spasm. It is very painful for a few seconds. I am very disappointed with my progress> I thought by now I would be at least 50-75 pounds lighter. What am I doing wrong?
