Colombe

Hello, I am sick and in pain, but mostly I am ashamed of what this band has created for me. I don't dare tell my husband about the mega esophagus, esophagal dilation, chest and back pains, nausea and pressure on my chest that feels like bronchitis. I went to have my band emptied completely after at least two months of procrastination. I had a endoscopy and colonoscopy in June and the doctor said that while my stomach was empty, I had a second stomach full of waste just sitting there. She said that the problem was not medical, but mechanical. I didn't feel alarmed because she wasn't. That sack of food waste sat there for months and I had assumed that my discomfort was just how the band worked. I feel guilty about my naiveté. I am sure that I have something terrible and don't dare mention it to anyone. At least what I am going through is not just my imagination. I would like to know how you are coping. All the best, Colombe
