  1. Hi all, am worried sick right now - was banded in Mexico in 2006. Have had three fills, and am at goal plus/minus 6 pounds or so. have a banded doc that did my fills and who I see every quarter or so to make sure all is ok. Well, I have been having reflux, etc., and was given antacid...am totally freaking that I might have a slip or something...am scared b.c if my job finds out I have the band I could get fired and prosecuted....I know this is vague, but does anyone have any ideas on what to do: should I go camp out at an ER until someone can see me and at least do a barium swallow?? :thumbdown: any ideas on what constitutes emergency for removal, or to even be seen for possible complications?
  2. Did they do a barium swallow on you to see what the issue was? I'm curious b/c I am experiencing heartburn, terrible weird burping up of burning stuff and coughing when I lay down, etc. I have never had a barium test. I"ve had three fills total about 2.75 in a 4 cc band, and when I mention it to the doc who I go to for checks (not a surgeon, but a doc with the band) she just gave me antacid. At this point I am terrified - I told my husband that I was going to go to an ER tomorrow and camp out until someone sees me and can tell me what the heck is going on. :thumbdown: I was banded in Sept 2006 and am goal weight - lost 89 pounds...

  7. I love terry bicycles...!!!!!
  8. TERRY BICYCLE SALE!! That's right - for 2 days you can get half off everything (except bicycles) from Terry! Even on things already on sale. Saddles, too. The boss is away, inventory is high and we'd rather be out biking than counting so we're counting on you, instead. And just to make it super easy, we're throwing in free standard shipping. Spread the word to all your bike sisters - we've never done anything like this before and it's doubtful we'll get away with it again. And remember, it's just 2 days: Wednesday and Thursday, November 14th and 15th.

  13. Hmmm...the only time mine buzzes is if the battery is low or if I pull it off my arm with a bra strap or if I sweat so much that the cvontacts lose conductivity, etc., and sometimes it does it a couple three four times a day I always wonder if that's my trainer checking up on me lolol
