Hello,
My name is Cathy Mahoney and I was banded at TLBC in March 2005. My highest weight was 305 lbs in 2001, and before I started the pre-op diet I weighed 285. At the time of the operation, I weighed 263, and now two years later I am at approx 195 lbs. I have been having terrible reflux, vomiting, nausea and heartburn and have been having defills (I had one today - took out 2 ccs). At the max, I had 7ccs of fill, and now I am down to 1.5-1.75ccs. Monday I'll be going to Toronto to get a Fluoroscopic xray to see if my band has slipped. If so, I will need to get all the remaining Fluid out of the band, wait 2 months, and if the band is not back in place, then I may need additional surgery to replace the band.
I hope to be able to find a resolution to this problem, I am quite concerned. I want to continue on this road to the new me, and I'm worried about how things are going now.
I understand that there is a support group in Ottawa, and the next meeting is in January. Have we decided on a date, time and location?
Cathy
