Too Tight! I had a fill last february 09 and about 6 months later had some concern that i might be too tight due to some soreness in my throat, coughing at night, not able to eat meat or vegis often and some sliming?
I ended up going to doc and making a commitment in September to get a endoscopy and see what was up, he would then adjust me. Then i found out my deductable was $2,000 and decided to wait until first of the year and until last week had not moved foward on that plan. That whole year i had 4 acute sinus infections requiring antibiotics and then again this year it was totally uncontrolable with fever everyday, sick,sick sick and to boot i couldnt eat and at all times exhausted. I was about to go in for alergy testing because i had burned through the strongest of antibiotics. I was starting to get sick again after 3 rounds of antibiotics and noticed amoungst the severe problems I had pain on upper left side, a rash that i was scratching there as well. So that brought me to the lap band doc. After i told him what i had been through, he said:sneaky:that all of that was caused by my band being too tight and what the heck happed to the game plan in September where i was going to be adjusted at the endoscopy? So he imediatly totally emptied my band that was this past monday! So far I have no burning in esophogas!, Fever Gone, Sinus's clear! and the pain is slowly subsiding in my upper left side where the band is... I feel better than i have felt in 8 months and just hope that all will be well in 30 days when my doc says he will SLOWLY refill me:blink: and rightfully so! I cant tell you how many days i have been in bed because of being ill! Please be aware of these symptoms because i have never read this before in a blog! Don't go through what i went through. Oh and what the docs say that if your too tight you will eat mushy carbs and not loose weight! YEP! that was me:blushing:
