Hi Kelly,

I am so glad you are feeling better. I went for an unfill myself today. I only PB'd twice in a 4 week period, but it was getting hard to get in my Water and I couldn't even think of really drinking or eating before 11am.

My band is acting a bit weird... first fill 1.3, second fill 2.0 -- no problems. Then I went to 2.4 had major problems, but only after 3 weeks. Went back to 1.5 and was fine, I would even say too loose for 3 weeks... then extremely tight again. It just seemed to keep getting worse, so now I am back to 1.3. The doctor is ordering an upper GI... so we will see.

I sure hope you are successful with solids and I am glad your band looks healthy.

Take Care,

Sasssy, it's good to see you have listened to your body. As Martha would say,"that's a good thing". I'm proud of you girl!

sassay,

Did your band slip? I saw you were rebanded.

It is strange that you have those symptoms the 2nd time around because my husband has those too. He was banded 2003 rebanded 2004. He had an adjustment it took him a long time to get use to that one, he tried a second one that was just barely more than the first (according to the doctor who said he wanted to go really slow) and he couldn't handle it at all. He had to go back down in his fill to where he was. I wonder if this is a normal problem with rebanding

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
