:sad:Hi bandsters,
I was banded in Nov 2007, however it has not been the usual bandster experience for me. I fell pregnant with my first baby after only 6 weeks. I then had fluid taken out to 3ml so I could eat well for the baby. Then in July 2008 as the baby was getting too big, I needed all the fluid taken out so I could eat at all. Three week after my baby daughter arrived I made sure I was back at my doctors having the fluid put back in, he put 4ml in, I had an aweful time overnight, unable to even swallow my own saliva, being in intense pain and having to spit up my saliva. So, I was back on the doctors doorstep the next day to get the fluid out, and being extremely frustrated, and even after a Barium Swallow test revealed no slippage, I decided not to have any fluid put back in until I finish breastfeeding. HOWEVER..... NOW another problem... I have been eating very cautiously because I can feel how sensitive my band is. Two days ago I ate 1 piece of pizza, and it didnt stay down long and since then am having a lot of pain, reflux, a strong heart burn, and again am having a LOT of trouble even consuming liquids. I am also experiencing a lot of gurgling and burping when I swallow even my saliva. HELP.... What is wrong with me.
