Band Buddy:)



Recommended Posts

Let me start off by saying I do not have the best support system at all. I had some complications with eating from my band and felt like I was having a heart attack each time I swallowed any food. I went through that for about 6 months all the while I kept getting readjusted. My family could be so much more supportive if they weren't so busy talking crap and putting me down every chance they get. So, anyone who's willing to help me go along and start from the basics again to get to where I need to be, will be gladly appreciated. :) I've had my band for about a year now and have lost about 50 pounds, but I still have quite a few more pounds to go to reach my goal weight. Looking forward to hearing from anyone! :)

Sorry to hear that. I really believe that my support friends have helped me keep on track. I attend atleast 2 of the 4 weekly Monday night meetings and also meet with my emotional eating group once a month even though our 6 week course ended last April. Support is huge, I am here for you. Message me anytime!

PS.....let's see them try and lose 10 pounds let alone 50!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
