Severe esophagus erosion after too much fill!



Recommended Posts

I had my lapband done 7 years ago. I have lost 110 lbs since my highest weight. I have always struggled with my eating since I had the bad done. I am getting married in less than 2 weeks and I recently had a partial fill removed because I had severe acid reflux and heart burn. Since the removal I have gained 10lbs. I also found out that I have severe erosion of my esophagus due to the acid reflux,heartburn, and throwing up. I feel so bad for gaining weight back and was wondering if anyone else has gone through this. I feel so bloated and in all honesty feel like a whale!!! Anyone's support right now would be greatly appreciated ????????????

@@betsylulu2525 I haven't had surgery yet but wanted to say that you had great success losing 110lbs and gaining 10 back does not put you anywhere near whale status!!! Give yourself credit for doing as good as you have! You are probably retaining fluids - be sure to drink plenty of Water (add lemon), reduce sodium intake and try to relax! Getting married is exciting and stressing about 10lbs when you lost 110 is going to take away from your excitement and fun over the next few weeks! Many blessings for a beautiful wedding and happy life! You can deal with these health issues after the wedding!

      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! 😞
