  2. im not given up so yah i went to the doc she said yes i got a hernia they arnt going to fix it, im just going to have to take pills for the pain and the reflux.. tht seems werd to me, i guess pills every day, and my doc filled my band agian
  3. im going friday my mom and linda never go to the doctors with me, i ask them too but they dont wanna, my mom dosent even take my 16 yr old sis to the doctors i do, im in pain i m sure its from the hernia i looked it up online, hopefully i can get it fixed soon, i cant wait till friday, i threw up again b4, i ate some soggy ceral, and i felt like i had a wieght in my chest and then i was running to the BR, i cant keep going like this, and idont wanna lose my band, i love my band, i hate this pain.
  4. ok so my mom gose to the doctor we have the same doctor and tells him w.e she said, and he said that im to young to have the band, but get this he is the 1 who told me to get it done,
  5. both my parents want me to take out the band, they say tht it i cousing me to be sick, i know i got a hernia, it was probly from throughing up, but i had a virus this week and last week, and i dont know if it because they are ingorent or they really believe this, Linda my moms gf says the plastic is killing you and its rotting insude your body, and she always saying take it out. and mom just goes along with it she say ever since i got the band i have been sick, i feel like they are ganging up on me worse then peer pressure becuz they are my parents and your soppose to lesson to them, but i dont think it the band thts making me sick i think it the hernia and maybe gallstones, for now until friday i am stuck home taking VIKES, (pain killers) and some other meds so i dont through up, mom has the virus i had, linda got something, wut ever it is those two i have dont got it. thank you god. anyway im feelin an little upset i dont know wut to do, i mean friday im asking the doctor and telling her about what my parents are saying and maybe the doctor can tlk to them, but there stuck in thier ways

  7. i was sick last week had a flu i went to the hospital and they said nothing was wrong... called me to tell me i got a herna, i think it is from throughing up i dont know why but i get food stuck alot and to releave myself i feel the need to through up. i never stuck my finger in my mouth i dont have to. my chest get tight and i just get sick. now i dont know if thts the reason y i have a herna but i am tired of gettin dick all the time i would like to go 1 day with out havin to run to the bathroom. i had my band empty and i was still getting sick. i didnt tell my doc yet but i have been thinkin about removal. has any one ever gottin a herna from throughing up B4 can u get it from tht , and how u fix a herna, give me somef feed back ppl ,
  8. i was glocu... 500 mg 3 time a day i gained alot of my wieght wen i started the diabetes meds even with the insulin. but with the band i use alot less meds so in guess its easier to loss wieght on less meds.

  13. the doctor didnt say tht the ooze is bad she said it just water, um my insurance pays for every thing,
  14. :eek: the doc think there is a small leak in the port, she says we can fill it every month and then let the liquid come out slowly and refill it or we can go back and put a new one in. which one should i do and why?
  15. this has nothing to do with the band, but i need help, last tuesday i had 4 wisdom teeth removed. the pain was subsidding, until my mom punched me in the face, dont think bad about her i think she has bypoloar disease, anyway after she hit me i have been in so much pain, im constantly taking pain kills, they work but i dont think i should be in this much pain. anyone have thier wisdom teeth taken out, how long with the pain, did you get like flaps of skin over your teeth. my upper teeth are healed but i got these bumps on one on each side they are hard about the size of a quarter. idk im just in pain.
