Probably no slip

[melati 0]

Dr. said he doesn't think my band has slipped--it is probably too tight and that is causing the reflux. Then he told me the problem is not my fault as I have done so well with the band.

I can't imagine why I was afraid to see him--I somehow thought is WAS my fault.

I am scheduled for an upper GI on 1/11 and will ask for an endoscopy to diagnose and ulcer.

Can't believe I am too tight since my last fill was only too 1.75:cry --I'm beginning to think I may never lose those last 20lbs.

Oh, yes you will. And it will be the best 20 pounds you ever lost because you will have to work for it! It's a GOOD thing!

Good thing on the Upper GI and Endo. Your doc is taking good care of you!

Sometimes being too tight will cause you not to lose weight! You'll get there, and good for you for contacting your doctor and taking care of your band!

Thank you both. Kathy you are just a peach!:-D As I said, I will hold out for the endoscopy, but dr. says they have never had an erosion and that he has taken care of erosions from other dr.s

I am so shocked that it may be too tight b/c everything goes down so easily!
