Question for "older" bandsters...

[Cheri 0]

Hey, I've been banded since 05, with my lowest weight being spring of 06...

I have gained consistently since (almost 50 lbs of the 60 something lost). I've had 2 complete unfills due to hpylori and a blockage, but we can't get more than 1 cc back into my band!

Anyway... here's my question... I have been having really bad gas pain and localized sharp left ab pain for about a week (I was thinking ovarian cyst), but now the pain is gone and I have INTENSE itching in the same area!!!

Any ideas as to what may be going on???:thumbs_up:

I would talk to my doc, but I wasn't covered on insurance and my hubby's hours have been drastically cut since the recession has taken down the auto industry... I just don't have the bucks to fork out right now.

It's important you see your Dr. for a complete checkup as soon as you can. Your symptoms could indicate problems not related to your band that should not be neglected. Best wishes to you

Honestly, I could be anything, and I wouldn't muck around. See a doctor.

Cheri,

I have had nothing but problems with my band for a while now. Because of it I have gained back all the weight I lost. I feel so defeated. I thought I was the only one gaining but after seeing your post makes me wonder how many have regained the weight? I bet ya we are not the only ones.:party:
