Hi My name is Marie I was banded 3 1/2 years ago. I was doing just wonderful. Lost 90 pounds up until last November. I made the mistake of telling my doctor I had a little acid reflux. Well you think what I said. Instead of just giving me medication for the acid reflux he sent me for tests, and the day before Thanksgiving he tells me he is taking the Fluid out. I wanted to die. He said to come back in six weeks and I will probably put it back if everything looks ok. So I went to radiology so they could check things out again and everything looked good. When I went back the doc was gone. He got another position in another hospital and I was left with a staff that I think really wants nothing to do with these surgeries. They refuse to put me back to where I was 2.50 cc. There is always an excuse. the last time I went i was at 1.8 by the time they got done i was down to 1.6 I have no restriction!!! I was a poster child for this surgery. I had no problems what so ever. I continously and slowly lost weight. I have put on 30 pounds and i am getting depressed. My knees are starting to bother me again. I am at my wits end, I started to look on line for a new place to go for post op care. I emailed a couple of docs and waiting to hear if they will take me on as a patient. Any suggestions out there?? I am in Staten Island, Marie

Hi My name is Marie, I just started on here last night. I read your post. I was unfilled last November because I told the doc I had some acid reflux. Instead of just giving me medication, he removed all the Fluid the day before Thanksgiving. I had those hunger pangs again, which had gone away after starting my adjustments. Be careful. Try to eat the right things. I am looking for another doc to take care of me. That doctor apparently was leaving to go to another hospital for another position and the docs there are just not putting me back to where I was at 2.50 cc. I have put on 25 lbs since last November. Good luck with your surgery. Marie

when I have food stuck I make myself a cup of hot tea, no milk. and slowly sip it. it either makes it come up or it helps it to pass. Marie
