I had my surgery on September 11, 2008 and so far I have lost 50 lbs. I have had two fills and I'm debating about having a third. I haven't lost any weight in about three weeks but that has happened before and then all of a sudden I would lose 3-4 lbs. Over all I have been happy with my band but lately I have been having some discomfort and I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Sometimes I will wake up in the middle of the night with this horrible pressure in the area of my band. I will break out in a cold sweat and then usually have diarreah, This has gone on for up to 5 hours before. It really can interfere with my life b/c I have two small children who need constant care. I don't know what I am doing that is causing this to happen,,,it's not like when I overeat or don't chew something well enough and I have to throw up, its just this horrible pain in my chest that makes me double over. Does anyone have any advice or help for me? I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
