Not Sure What's The Issue



Recommended Posts

Sorry about your issues! Hope your unfill helps. I have a totally empty band and have worse problems now than I did with a small fill. I'm having the band out in 8 days!!!! Really excited, because I've had very similar symptoms along with the most horrible reflux imaginable. Keep us posted.

Critterlady, sorry to hear about your experience. I actually feel much better since the band was emptied a little. All my symptoms just disappeared.

I hope your operation goes well, did you know what happened? Why you are going through this?

Thanks, Slim

Not totally sure what's going on. I had the EGD and there are erosions and ulcers evident. ....this reflex has been agony....the EGD says that the band is "ok", per my doc....I don't feel that the band has failed me, but more likely that I have failed it. I"m just so ready for it to be gone. I am NEVER comfortable, between the stuck episodes and the reflux....i's misery.

thanks!

Well, I went through it for couple of months and i hated my life. so I totally understand your position.

Wish you good luck. I did the band while im convinced that I needed to work on my awareness and emotions. the band is not the real solution. I encourage you to do all what you can to figure out the reason why you eat more than you should have and heal from it.

I am working on it myself. Its all in the head and about self achievement you know.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
