Hello! I'm a 30 years old and I've had my band since 07. At first I lost close to 60pds over the past few years I have fluctuated up and down. My concern is I can't keep food down. Some days I can eat and seem like I never get full and can hold things down and then the next day I can't keep anything down. I vomit often (sorry about that) on a daily basis! I'm really worried about esophagus cancer. I got this surgery to help me live a longer life and I'm worried it could make my life shorter. I'm alway anemic and I have awful heartburn nightly. I'm at the point where I don't know what to do! Do I take it out? Two of my Aunts had this surgery as well as a long distant cousin. They have all gained back their weight! Running out of hope any suggestions? I haven't been to the doctor in over a year due to being recently uninsured. Really at a loss! Any advice is greatly appreciated!

So I went and it was my band!! Too tight I was at 7cc and took it down to 6.5cc it's amazing what a little bit out does! Hopefully I don't get sick! If I do..I will have to have another adjustment (6cc). Praying we are close to the right cc amount! I really do try my best and get discouraged when I don't see results. You would think having mine since '07 I would have changed a lot and haven't : ( I'm set up to meet with the nutrition counselor but my doctor told me what I've been eating is great just hopefully now it will stay down. I'm excited to see what the nutrition counselor recommends to eat! New menu ideas would be awesome. Just to make sure everything is ok he's going to look at it under that X-ray machine (whatever its called where they do adjustments sometimes) at St Mary's on Friday!! He truly is a great doctor and listened to my concerns!!

You look wonderful!! I'm almost 6ft myself and even at my smallest I have always felt big. I suppose it's in our heads! Happy belated birthday!!!

How do you turn off your email notification? How do you delete an old thread you created? I searched the help screen and couldn't find it! Thanks!

Line-dancer i suppose it could be me? I highly doubt it though I use a 4 oz cup like the doctor told me too. A ziplock toss away snack size one (3 times a day). I only posted this to see if anyone else had the same issue and to get suggestions on what to do. This is my first time to this group and after 7 years I was looking for support and advice. I greatly appreciate all the advice and I will call the surgeon first thing Monday! I don't know why I didn't think about a slip? I hope not! This has made me realize I better get checked!!

I must say after reading this it has made me concerned about my vagus nerve! How do I get mine checked? I'm concerned now. Afib is no koke
