Hearing the horror stories of tearing and such...Okay, now I am scared. I was banded on 12/2. I lost 10 pounds in the first week and a half. Then here comes the holidays, I felt okay to eat more and more variety. Now I can eat about 3/4 of what I was able to eat before surgery and I haven't lost anymore weight. In fact, I think that I have gained weight. I am so ashamed because I eat and then 15 minutes later, I am in pain because I have eaten too much. It has been so hard with all of this holiday food! How do I know if I damaged myself! What do I do?:hurray:

I posted an answer (an answer...probably not THE answer, but an answer) to you on the other thread. Please go there...contact your surgeon Monday if you're worried, and stop the insanity right now! :hurray:
