Went to doctor and had a CT of stomach and pelvis. No problems with my band. Was had a complete unfill before the tests. I cna keep my band b/c there were no signs of erosion! Filled today 4cc not the 8.5 I had but were are starting over.:tongue:
-
The doctor ordered a barium swallow to be done tomorrow morning then I see her. She says I am having symptoms of a possible erosion. I hope that isn't what is going on inside my body I love my band. I am praying that it is something that won't need the removal of my band!:w00t:

Friday night (11/13/09) I started having terrible chest and abdominal pains on my left side. At first I figured I probabaly ate my dinner to fast and needed to vomit well that didn't happen. I didn't get any rest at all that night! Was up in pain and couldn't even swallow my spit. The right side of my stomach is very tender to touch and I just want to scream. I called the nurse and was told to take some Maalox or go to ER. Didn't want to wait in ER all day and night so I've been suffering at home. The Maalox did stop my chest from hurting but my stomach pain is unreal. I finally threw up on Sat but still having abdominal pains and now my throat and chest seem to be on fire. Took my prescription pepcid this morning and chest stopped burning but I keep burping. I hope the pain goes away soon because I'm so tired and just want to sleep! Any suggestions about what to do? I am calling the doctor first thing in the morning but this has been happening to me off and on since the beginning of October and I was hospitalized twice by my pcp and they can't figure out the problem. They just blame it on my band. Hopefully my band doctor can see me or give me some answers but I would love to hear if anyone has experienced what I am dealing with and what was the cause and solution. Thanks

I have been sick alot over the past few months. I found out I had nodular goiters and one was so large it caused breathing problems. I had it removed on October 30th and I am still recovering. Now I have a scar across my neck and wish that I could just heal. I have no energy to exercise and even though I am losing weight I sometimes feel like a failure because I can't exercise. I hope things change for me really soon!

40lbs is awesome!!!!! Ive been slacking lately really I havent worked out in a week because our gym got flodded at work so all Ive done is gone walking with my daughter who is 4. my doctor takes it to extremes with this whole not eating for like 6 days after my fill. It is so hard not to eat!! its 2 clear liquid days, 2 full liquid days, and 2 mushie food days its hard... I have my 3rd fill on August 12th and I need it!! lol
Well good luck to you! I am here if you have any questions!

I read your blog tonight. Need to be asleep but i am so inspired by you. Congrats on your weight loss so far and keep up the good work! I am so inspired! I finally reached 40lbs lost and I'm so happy and motivated! Had my 3rd fill friday and finally have restriction! My doc is a lil different when it comes to eating after fill you only have to be on liquids after you get the fill and can start eating the next day. I think I'm going to try what you do because I tried to eat solids and that just isn't gonna happen right now! Painful! Hoping this fill and exercising will help my progress and keep up the good work! You are truly an inspiration!

WE ARE BAND TWINS...LOL i just saw that you were banded on March 30th 09 and wanted to say HELLO!

How are you doing after your fill? Fill went well for me but haven't really lost that much since. I'm going to see my nutritionist and get another fill on the 12th because I seriously need help and encouragement.

My doctor does all new patient fills that way for your first few fills. I was told it was because they like to limit you needing an unfill. I had my first fill on Wednesday after being rescheduled because they didn't have my appointment in radiology. The appoinment was wonderful to me. I was able to see my band and port on the monitor. I had to drink that nasty barium but when I was able to see it go threw the band without restriction and come up with too much I was thrilled to be able to see how it actually worked. I live four hours away from my doctor and she doesn't want me to need to come back because I was overfilled. I ended up with 3cc in my band. I haven't gain any weight but my weight loss had stopped! I'm hoping the fill and exercise help it start back up again!

I have read that alot of people use PB in their protein shakes. What brand of pb do you use. I know the jiff and skippy i would normally buy are probably not the healthiest choices. I saw a few natural choices today but wasn't exactly sure which one would be the best choice. All suggestions needed!:smile: Thanks
