Not once since my band was removed last Wednesday have I woken up in the middle of the night with stomach acid dripping out my nose and/or coughing my lungs out. I no longer have excruciating chest pain when I eat! I have eaten celery, raw carrots, and apples with peel!!! And I haven't thrown up once!!! And I survived a whole week without gaining any weight gonna be a long six months, but one day at a time I'll make it.

Wow you poor thing! So glad your issues resolved. Are you revising or staying on your own?

It was a rough few months I've been approved for bypass. The original plan was to convert to bypass when they took the band out however the band had done a significant amount of damage and we are giving my stomach 6-12 months to heal....for now, it's all on me!
