Hello....I was banded on 12/8/08. It's been a struggle to lose weight, but I had kept off 30 lbs. This past weekend I ended up in the ER with dry heaves and diarrhea. My surgeon was called, he removed ALL the fluid in my band and has referred me to a gastro Dr. for a follow up on a lymph node behind my small intestine???? I'm worried about what that means, but mostly, HOW do I cope without the restriction. I am SO worried the weight will go back on so fast, and I have a wedding dress to get into in Sept. I wanted to lose 10 more pounds and now I'm back to square one. Has anyone else had to start back at square one????
thanks,
Molly
