Meaning I was going to keep my band..some of you know I said I was getting my band removed, I think I posted a thread about that in September. I thought I was going to be ok I thought I was starting to come around finally. I feel like I get the nausea every other week. And most of the time when I walk I get sharp pain where my band is. On October 30th I had very severe chest pain/acid reflux for like an hour(it seemed) last week was a pretty good week except one of my gym days at school I felt like I was gonna vomit (we were playing football). Yesturday we were playing our third day of pillow polo(my fav thing we do in gym class) I took a few sips of Water and it felt like it was gonna come back up. Last night had the chest pain/acid reflux again. Today I have really sharp pain in my stomach and diahrea, feel like I got to vomit, have a headache, feel a bit dizzy and a bit shakey. I see my dr on Wednesday. It's going to be official this time, my band's life is going to come to an end, yes I came very far trying to fight the nausea but I just can't deal with this anymore. I had nothing good but bad experience with this band the only good thing was that I lost 30 pounds and accomplished one of my goals and that was to be under 200, I'm done with being sick, it's the end of the road for the band but it's NOT the end of the road for weightloss!!!

Thanks for listening (:

No one wants to be sick all the time. Best of luck to you, Erin.

Best of luck Erin. Some bodies just can't take the band. If you continue to have the same problems after removing the band, please seek more help.

Soooooooo sorry that you went through all this and now need to have it removed, my heart goes out to you! Keep your chin up!

Good for you that you met your goal and are now under 200!

Well, that's sad Erin. Its a big thing to go through surgery with such hopes, particularly at your young age, and to have it not work out for you. I'm sorry it hasnt been a roaring success, but I'm glad that you're looking at it positively in regard to achieving one of your goals. well done.

It really does sound like something's not right in there. Bands shouldnt hurt and they shouldnt make you sick.
