190 lost checking in

I'm actually getting an upper endoscopy in a couple of weeks to check and see what's going on with mine. How did you/your doctor discover yours was eroded? How long have you had your band?

Yea me too. I have a pretty good pain tolerance but ended up taking myself to the ER the other day (which I haven't been to one in over 10 years.) I was given blood work, xray and CT which all showed nothing but I still feel crappy. Went to gastro yesterday who **** talked the band a little, had no suggestions and is sending me for an endoscopy in 2 weeks.

Can anyone share their eroded band experience? I'm wondering how my symptoms line up.

wow. sounds like me.

Yea me too! I always so that it went from one extreme to another, eating take out every day to feeling bad about not exercising or eating something crappy. This band definitely makes you think twice about your decisions especially when you see positive results.

PS I'm fat cause I love food, mostly delicious bad for you food
