I have been having problems with my fills for a few months now. It started when I went in for my 3rd fill and it felt like all my restriction had gone away. I went in a week later to have some more Fluid put in and I haven't been the same since; waking up in the middle of the night choking on saliva and whatnot. I went to the ER and had my band totally drained. A month later I went in and they filled me with 7 cc's. (There was a lot more to this but I'm paraphrasing.)
I just went in for my 1st fill since the 7 cc's and I'm up 2 lbs. and have esophageal dilation. It was horrible! Seeing them put 2 cc's in me, having the liquid not flow through the band and feeling totally fine, like I didn't just drink anything!! Well needless to say I flipped out!! I don't understand!! How badly did I just damage my body!??! And I tried asking my doctor what this really meant and all he did was give me the fat girl talk about watching what I eat and needing to exercise.
FORGET THE WEIGHTLOSS!! I want to know what I just did to my body!?! Is this reversable? Are there complications from it? Did I just do serious damage?
Needless to say I hopped off the exam table and ran out crying. So I'm asking some of you. I don't care if I am fat for the rest of my life!! How much damage did I just do to myself? How do I fix this?? It was horrifying to see my esophagus just flapping around and no fluid flowing to my stomach! Help... Someone tell me the truth...
