Thanks for all the suggestions! I will call the surgeon tomorrow. I started taking Prilosec and Tums and it has helped...a lot. But I still might be too tight. Thanks again for all you help!!
Hi...
I was banded 11/08/2010 and had 2 fills (4cc's in a 12cc band). I have lost 50 pounds so far, however I have noticed it hurts to eat , even soft foods, and I am vomiting often. Has anyone had this problem? I don't think I am too tight, but i might be wrong. I just question it because this started weeks after a fill. Any feedback would help...thanks!
WOW....Congrats! What an accomplishment. I just see my health going down the wrong path. I am a type 2 diabetic. I can lose weight easily and can exercise but i am unable to stick to a routine. Then I would gain it back plus some. I am tired of feeling like my life is passing me by. I don't like the way my clothes look on me which makes me stay at home. I love to socialize and go out with friends, but lately lost that motivation. I am ready for something that I can use as a tool to help me maintain a healthy lifestyle change. Just some of the things that I have read and the thought of surgery scares me. I know i can't believe everything I read on the internet. I have my consultation with my surgeon on Tuesday! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I will definitely will check out your blog.
Thinking about getting banded....I never had surgery before and I am very scared. If you could go back in time, would you do it again? What complications did you have? Was it worth it?
