I have UC. Last winter I had part of my large intestine removed. Every 10 weeks I go get an IV of Remicade. Anyone been banded with my symptons?

Wow..what does that feel like? What were the symptoms? What did they think caused that?

I have always had pain in my gut. I thought it was stess from my job. Finally I was tested and apparently I have had this diease for years. Because it had gone untreated part of my colon developed scar tissue and had to be taken out. The surgery was not fun. I still have pain, but not as much and don't need to use the restroom as often. To keep it under control I take oral meds and do an IV treatment every ten weeks at the hospital. Thanks for asking.

I have been tested and positively diagnosed with IBS and Crohns Dz.Plus had reflux and a small Hiatial Hernia.

They don t like banding with Crohns or the HH but It has done wonders-I am off all meds and have no symptoms of any since surgery 5 mo.ago.

And to top that-I have been Migraine free.I have only had 3 slight allergy headaches.I used to have 2-3 migraines a month.

I wonder now if they weren t food related.

The Band has been a Miracle for me.!Thank The Lord.

Ya this post which I saw is very much useful and I made use of it. And I have learnt a lesson from this post..
