So as I lurk around I notice that I am not the only one whose band has not been so kind to them!

I am once again completely unfilled and gaining weight rapidly. For the third time since November i've battle severe GERD and lost:cursing:. The only positive thing was my band hasnt slipped and no erosion is apparent. Yippee! This is such a rollercoaster I have been on that I stayed away because I was tired of crying, feeling sorry for myself, and just didnt want to seem like a failure. Anywhoo, my appt for a fill is not until APRIL 10 and i dont know what i will weigh by then. Im terrified:confused:

I love my band but it doesnt love me!

I know that terrified feeling. It's awful. Hopefully they will get it right this time and you will start losing again.

I've been pretty much on liquids for about a month. Not fun but at least on liquids I don't get the pain. I'm getting an unfill on Thursday.

Keep coming back. You'll get lots of support and we really understand.

Hang in there.

Oh dear! I am so sorry to hear aobut this; you must bed very discouraged!

The fact though that you are still with the band, that you haven't given up in despair speaks very highly of you and your committment.

As much as possible, try to live the bandster life until you can get a fill, and keep swimming (even if it is against the tide!)

The unfill seems to have done the trick. I'm doing much better. Just have to get back on track and lose these last few pounds.

St. Louis, glad to hear that

Taismom - how are you doing?

Oh Tais mom I'm sorry.

Tais, Were you not keeping anything down?
