My name is Danielle and I was banded a little over 2 years ago. I have lost and maintained a 100lb weight loss but still have about 100 more to lose. I started having problems with my band after about 6 months. I have had pretty frequent abdominal and chest pain and vomiting. Food backs up into my esophagus and I have to throw it up. I have had multiple ER visits and tons of test and procedures and they can't find anything wrong with me other than that I am having esophageal spasms for some reason. They deflated my band this spring and I have continued to have the problems. I am hoping that revising to a bypass will help. I am just waiting for the scheduler to call me and let me know when it's going to happen.

i am waiting also to see if my insurance coers mine. i have a date set for my surgery. while doing my set up. i was informed by the finance person that this time it is covered by my insurance. my psych eval have to be done over and my pre-labs is schduled for next week. everyone pray that my insurance covers this. OH WHAT A BLESSING THAT WILL BBB!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope everything works out for you both.
