Need a Do-over

Was banded April 2009, lost 40lbs in first few weeks. No more w8 loss since then. With no fill have been throwing up 4-5 times a day. Finally after going to Mayo Clinic and back to my original surgeon in Nashville it was determined that my problem has never been my band, but my esophagus. Am now on meds for that and hardly throwing up at all now. So bottom line, I need to start over and learn how to use my band as a tool. Can anyone suggest a book explaining the whole post-op do's and don'ts. I don't need all the "talking into surgery" stuff. I really want this to work, please advise. THX

I haven't read it but I hear Bandwagon was a great book. Also, look into a support group. And I find tracking my calorie intake on myfitnesspal.com has been great. Glad you're feeling better! And good luck in the future!
