Sorry you are having some trouble, I can relate. The bad thing for me is, my surgeon is in Texas! and I can't afford to get started with anyone here, alas, no insurance!
I was banded in 2008 in Fort Worth Texas. Live in AZ now. I started out at 365lbs and have lost and gained over the past three years. Currently I am at 298lbs after just recently deciding to give this another try after ignoring it for a year. I am looking for someone that my have some advice to help me. The reason I have not had a fill in over a year is due to reflux/fluid/foaming at night. I had a half a can of Soup early in the day, and two scrambled eggs at around 4pm, drank Water throughout the day and it is still happening. And now it's back with a vengeance, even if I don't eat or drink anything for 7 or 8 hours before I go to bed, even when I am sitting up in bed or in a chair to try to sleep, it's very frustrating, and even though I need to lose another 50 or 60 lbs, I am thinking about getting an unfill so I can sleep. Any advice you may have would be much appreciated. Thank You.
Try not to look at yourself as a failure! I gained back nearly all that I had lost at one point, I crept back up to 340lbs! YIKES! but made the choice to quit beating myself up and get back on the bandwagon! You can do it too! Please let me know what your Doc says, perhaps I can get some ideas based upon your experience.
Take care
