Had my band removed 8/19/14 it was placed 11-12-12. I did fine with it for a few months then it was so right I couldn't swallow my spit went to ER and ever since then my body has not felt right. Had to go through hoops and tons of testing to find out there is nothing wrong with my band. Yet I felt horrible all the time I would vomit after a couple of bites no matter what it was. All the Drs I have seen treat me like a failure and say I only want it out to eat more. That is not the case but they do not believe me that I really did not feel good. One day after having it removed I feel such relief! The surgeon did not come and see me and tell me anything if she found anything or nothing. I just know I feel 100 times better already... I was trying to find pics of stomach after removal but I can't find any. I'm having a hard time dealing w the drs looking down on me and think I only did it so I can eat normal again but that is not the case at all!! I felt like my body never really accepted it. Any thoughts or same stories or words of positive ness would be great!

Ty guys

I was banded on nov 1st I'm a week out today and I'm suposed to be on liquids for two weeks then purée two weeks then mushy two weeks well I had mashed potatoes today I am starving and I get shakey and weak nausea feeling on liquids. Is the potatoes gonna hurt me? I don't plan on doing it again but I hear it will make my band slip? Or cause problems?

Ooo ok ill def look into that thx

Ok Ty ☺ I am gonna go to GNC today to see if I can get something new to have bc the bariatrics shakes they gave me r getting real old n they r really expensive.

Ty everyone. It just made me feel horrible and I know I won't do it again Ty for the encouragement and not bashing me n telling me I'm a failure already.
