I've had the acid and liquid coming up for months now. My doctor has taken out all but 2cc of my 10cc band and I still get the liquid coming up. I'm going in Tuesday for an Upper GI and I'm also going to ask my Dr to remove the last 2cc's. I can't seem to gain any weight in addition to this acid/liquid problem. I've also been getting pain in my stomach whenever I eat, so therefore I don't want to eat. Not good, since I only weigh 106 right now. I am thrilled to have lost as much weight as I have (118lbs) but I am just too skinny now. How weird to be able to say that after 15mos. But I feel weak and I think I look like crap. I don't want to get my band removed, but I would love to feel good and sleep through the night.

I had my last fill about a month ago and all has been fine until this past week. I stupidly tried to swallow an Iron pill and it got stuck. I was able to get it out, but since then, I know I've caused swelling around my band, because I can't keep Water down. Does anyone know how long this will last? I will have to call the Dr if it doesn't subside soon.. I love my water! (I was banded in Sept 08 and have lost 62 lbs so far.. )

I was banded on the 24th and was back to work on the 29th. I was feeling well enough on the 29th too.. I did wear loose fitting pants for the 1st week. The thought of something tight around my port area was just something I wasn't ready to experience! Today was the 1st day I wore my regular pants and they were ok, until later in the afternoon... back to my loose ones tomorrow! I'm so sick of the liquid diet and I agree with you, Sash, this is NOT the easy way out! I am so looking forward to the mushies (hate that word too).. just a few more days and I'll be there. Good luck to everyone out there!!

Good luck to you Cleo's Mom! My big day is Wed the 24th. I had a hysterectomy in 2005 and recovered well from that too..so like you, I think we'll be ok with this. It took me 9 months to get here, so I'm really excited! A bit nervous too, I must admit.. but more excited. Sending happy thoughts and prayers your way!! -
I'm getting banded on the 24th too.. I can't wait!!! !!! !!!

Does everyone need to do a pre-op diet? My surgery is the 24th and no one has said anything to me about a pre-op diet... I only read about it here...
