Hoping to hear from my doc tomorrow and looking forward to the x-ray. Gotta say my full liquids and yesterday I began soft foods(only because I was desperately hungry) and have made sure not to eat 3 hours before bed... No pain since! I'm hoping I was just being paranoid and overly cautious. Update to follow fingers crossed I didn't eff up!

Well I'm waiting for my pre auth to be done an then we'll be doin the x-ray. Just waiting on that... I think I might be too tight, but I'm hoping that's all it is and I haven't slipped or stretched my stoma. Thank you!! I couldnt be happier w the results.. I'm just so embarrassed by my carelessness I am feeling like a bit of a failure. Like I sabotaged myself..

I'm Anna I was banded back in nov. 2010 . I'm loving this support group. Im about to go for a barium x-ray to see what state my tummy is in and I'm super nervous. I have become careless. I started binge eating late at night again. I'm sure I have stretched my pouch.. But a few nights I've woken very late with terrible pain in my esophagus. Hurts to breathe. It resolves by mid morning. I'm back on liquids, I haven't had any unfills yet, but I'm thinking that's probably next step. I'm freaked out. Can anyone help calm my nerves? I've been at goal for about 9 months now (140 total loss) I'm scared! I don't want to lose my band or have to go through surgery... I don't have any money to pay on my own and I'm not sure my ins. Will cover any procedure...

Yes I'm pretty sure I'm going to need an unfill.. That's just fine as I just recently had a fill 2 days ago. I honestly think I just need to reign it in.. Recommit and refocus. I feel like I became lazy once I reached goal. This is reminding me why I did this in the first place. I made major lifestyle changes for the better... It's a step backward to watch tv late at night with a half a bag of cheetos. . I'm terribly embarrassed and ashamed...
