Unfortunately I did. After 3 years I had my band fixed which didn’t help I wasn’t able to have any fills so all fluids were taken out. I still felt restriction got stuck but did not have the reflux after that. I did end up getting my band out after 7 years. I ended up anemic and been having problems since. I can’t say it’s a result of the band. I do have 2 small ulcers near band site. Although I did lose 100+ lbs in less than a year I have now gained back 75. 😕. Good luck I recommend removal as it didn’t get better once the symptoms started.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
