Ok, I don't understand what the problem is.. but all day today(and it has happened before) I feel like my stomach is burning! I can't keep anything down, not even Soup and the burning just won't go away. I tried to calm it down with tums.. didn't work, with milk.. didn't work! I'm hungry and frustrated, has anyone gone through this before?! I have also had serious acid reflux for the past couple of months, ever since I hit the 100lb mark. I'm confused, I have great days and total crap days (such as this one)!!

I would suggest you call your lapband surgeon. You have done too well and had great success. Don't play with this. The continued reflux can cause you problems. Please take care of yourself and check with your doc. BTW, you look AMAZING!

my friend has lost 100+ lbs and recently has the same issue.

problem was his band was too tight, so the dr. removed a small amount of saline.

i don't remember if he had the burning issue but he did have the reflux.

it worked for him, you problem may not be the same.

i'd check with your dr., no need to be in discomfort.

Ok, so I talked to a nurse at the clinic I get my fills done and they said it sounds like some serious heartburn and acid reflux and suggested that I take prilosec over the counter. The doctor also wants to see me Monday to check out my band especially considering that I have been throwing up alot more in the past month or so. I am hoping maybe the reflux has something to do with it and taking a little of my fill out will remedy the problem. I would much rather have to really control my eating habits than throwup everything I eat and feel horrible afterwards. Plus, I always like to be prepared for the future, so that if (heaven forbid) my band and I are seperated, I know I can control my eating enough to stay on track and NEVER lose the weight again! anyway, Ill let the thread know what happens! Thanks for your input!

I hope you are feeling better. Did you ever get to your doc? If so, what was his verdict on your band?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
