Hi Everyone,

I was banded in July and to date lost about 40lbs, but most recently the weight loss has stopped. I eat so much less than I used to and it's still not coming off. I've been busy over the holidays like everyone else and wasn't paying much attention to how much/how little I've been eating. Now that the holidays are gone, I've been noticing I'm not eating much at all. Breakfast, nothing, lunch a small scoop of egg salad and dinner 1/2 cup chicken. This is about average of what I eat a day. The last month, I've had a tough time getting the food down. I experience a pressure feeling and then a discomfort, a hic-cup a burb, and finally an internal squeeze and then it's down - sometime's it's a five minute process. I can continue to eat but sometimes it comes back up. The last couple of days it's gotten worse, I have a constant achy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I called my doctor this afternoon and am hoping that he sends me for a x-ray or something tomrrw. I'm nervous that it's scar tissue or something closing up my stomach.

I'm hoping that someone else has had this experience and can tell me not to worry. **P.S. I haven't had any fills yet.

I welcome your input.

Ciera~ I'm so sorry you're going through this but thankful that they found it and took the band out. I know it must be discouraging, but everyone here is supporting you and wishing you well. Hope your recovery is speedy and uneventful!

Ciera so sorry to hear about your band. Stick around Lapband talk though there are enough erosions here now that you will have plenty of knowledgable support....and of course you will have the rest of us too.
