Update On Me(weird Sypmptoms)

[Becky Lambert 0]

:scared: I think we finally figured out my weird symptoms ,I have weak esophagus mucles and was confused on why my symptoms were so different than everyone elses when the band is making me sick, I can still eat and drink with no pbing or problem but yet I get so sick , well it seems when I eat something that causes heartburn and reflux I panic and stop eating and drinking all together (did not realize I was doing this)then i get dehydrated which causes the flu like symptoms ,weakness,chills, fatique, lethargic,and meanwhile I am having heartburn so i thought it was the band causing all this. My doctor just assumed that I was not eating or drinking because it was too tight, not that I just quit ,so he does a unfill and then I think okay I can drink now and I do and all the symptoms go away. So even tho I will never be able to have a fill due to esophagus problem I can keep the band which has helped me to maintain at 157 for over 8 months.I can live with that now that I know what was causing the weird symptoms, i just drink Water now and take malox for the reflux and it goes away. this seem so simple now but had me so worried and confused .I never knew I could get dehydrated wo quickly, i thought it took a couple of days. Well I hope this made sense to yall and may help someone else. Becky
