So... today I went and saw my surgeon after having basically no Fluid in my band for 5 weeks. I have put on 5 kg or 11 pounds in 5 weeks =( I have no idea how this happend, I have still been training 5 times per week and being super concious with food. I feel destroyed.

I agree with these folks but honestly there must be something wrong the docs are missing. Maybe u should change your team. Sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes. I wish you all the best and hope u get back to a happy u. *HUGS*

I would recommend counting calories for a week to see what you're really eating. When I estimate, I am really off.

I would strongly suggest using something like myfitnesspal.com (or the phone application) and logging what you are eating each day. You may be taking in more calories than you realize. Also, have you ever had your thyroid checked?

Please have them check your hormone levels especially your thyroid. Hypothyroid disease is very common in women and often goes unchecked. It is nearly impossible to lose weight with this disease if it goes untreated. They have to do a specific test for your thyroid levels (TSH) so ask your doc about this. Good luck!

        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!!
