I had my surgery on July 18. All seemed well til the day after I got home. My stomache swelled n felt like I swallowed a bowling ball. Called dr n he didn't seem concerned. Ended up in ER and they emptied the band. My dr didn't bother to visit me for any of the five days I spent in the hospital. Lost 20lbs I. That week and not a pound since. Had several fills since am still hungry alm the time. Can eat twice what I should be able to. I feel like this was the worse mistake I've ever made. Am I the only one this completely unhappy and depressed?

Some of you may have read into what I wrote. Just because I can eat twice what I should does not mean I do. I follow the rules that my dr gave me even though he changes them every time I see him. I walk 3 miles 5 days a week an hour each day. I won't say I haven't had a few bad meals since my surgery but I can count them on my two hands. For the most part I eat 4 oz of chix or fish and a sm amount if veggies for dinner n lunch n usually egg beaters or oatmeal for breakfast. I NEVER feel full. I am hungry in between meals and I just don't think the band is working. My idiot dr keeps blowing me off. I get my fill once a month with no results. I am still following a weight watchers program as far as cooking but my nutrishionist told me not to, sooooooo now what? I don't know what more I can do n I am completely frustrated. I do track all my food and stay within a 1200 cal range n 71 g of protien which is what my nutritionist told me to do. I am just frustrated and don't know how much more I CAN do. This was not a cure all but it was supposed to help.
