Too Small Band

Hi, I'm Denise and I'm new here. I went in last Monday to be banded at 8 am. I went back to my room and began to vomit which lasted 6 straight days. I couldn't even hold down ice chips. All I had to eat was what was in my IV drip. :confused:On Wed I was crying for them to take it out. They wanted me to wait for 4 more days which I did. They told me the band they used was too small and they replaced it with the larger one. So far so good but at the risk of sounding like a drama queen, I'm traumatized! I can't even think about getting a fill or moving on yet. Has anybody else experienced anything like this? Probably not, my Dr said it was a first for him.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. I haven't heard of it before, but it's a shame it had to happen. Don't let it get to you, try to forget about what happened and enjoy your correct size band. I know it's easier said than done, but don't dwell on it. Just hope you new band is what you need and continue from there.

Good Luck!:wink2:

Man, that really sucks. So sorry you went through that. Take some time to get adjusted and get feeling good, I'm sure that was scary. Sounds like you are set now though...so get ready to loose. :o

Yikes. I hope you're recovering from your surgeries.

Hopefully, it's going to be smooth sailing from here on for you.

xoxo
