Ok..Thanks for the advice, will call doctor tomorrow

Call your doctor. In the meantime stop "bringing up" your food...eat less. Every time that happens you could be damaging your band or your stomach/esophagus.

Wow!! Awesome job!!
Let us know when you kick that smoking habit!!! Lol. If you lost 148 pounds in a year you can definately stop smoking! You put in to much work to not be completely healthy!!!
Congratulations on your weight loss and good luck with kicking that habit!!

I'm not quite there...size 16 pants, large/xl shirts congrats!!!

Isnt it an amazing feeling! I was very emotional when I realized I could now wear regular clothes. I cried when I tried on my first xl sweater because I started at 4x... I still dont believe it ...lol

Me too! Just finally was able to make a clean break from the plus department a few weeks ago! Loved having to take pants back because they were too big!!!!
Way to go girl!

Congratulations! That is so amazing! That is my first goal, to get out of plus sizes. It will feel so amazing to not have to shop in that section! You have done a fabulous job! You should so proud!

This site is set up differently than the other two sites I've frequented. Good information to have.

Things are much better, thanks for asking. Recovery after surgery was agonizingly slow, however the Nexium has made a lot of difference (although very expensive). She has been able to return to work last week, and is planning to try backing off of the medication to perhaps every other day and see how that goes.

What was involved in her removal? Is her stomach intact or did they have to do a partial gastrectomy? Did the dr prescribe anti nausea drugs or Prilosec? Is she tolerating liquids and keeping hydrated?
If she had a lot of damage from her band, her recovery will be more difficult, but I would be surprised if no medication for her symptoms was given...hope she feels better soon, but if not, call the dr again.
