yep, we all do it at one time or another. had mine 1 1/2 weeks ago and it was awful. Water coming out of my nose as i am trying to get it out. i can tell you this, i won't make that mistake again, and i bet you won't either ;)

you don't want the band to slip, so be very careful of what you are eating and chew, chew, chew. and also at your next visit, tell your doctor of your experience. i know it was not fun, but it is a lesson learned, the hard way.

I had my first episode yesterday in a van full of people!! No one in the van knew I had the surgery and I really don't want them to know. I am sure they think I am pregnant.

I felt sick and bloated the rest of the day.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
