rethink

Hello, I was banded in 2005. I have recently been sick and unable to keep some foods down. I believe that it has caused me to have serious acidic problems. I am now having it remove on May 30, 2012. So I will no longer be a banded patient and am not considering the sleeve surgery either. I will be eating healthier as well exercising. Choosing to lose weight naturally and healthy, because the band fills cause me to excessively belch and vomit. Therefore, while I do lose weight it is at a rate that is unhealthy. I wish to be removed from this group please.

There is no option to remove my profile or delete it. I have looked all over the settings and have had no luck finding it. If someone could be so kind as to point me in the right direction to do so I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

I have been banded for 4 years now. And fora long while I was eating more than my portion was to be because I could not afford going to get my fills. Now i'm having serious acid reflux problems, belching and been bak to 2 fills both times I had to have some fluid taken out. I don't know if something is obstructed or erosion has possibly happened. I can't usually eat or drink anything in the morning at all. If I do I throw it back up, and I can eat and hold down chili but can't hold down coffee? What's up with that? I reently had a foot detox that removed alot of heavy metal in it which is probably the acid. I don't have hardly any restriction or feel it at all. At the last fill I had the Dr. unfill and let me drink before letting him fill me back up. I do lose weight but then somehow I gain it back before my next fill. I was also told that it did look like I had an obstruction with the barium swallow last time. I am going to have it unfilled completely. Oh after the unfill I drank a half gallon water and still felt an icky acidic taste in my mouth. I believe that I should have an endoscopy done, and as well as maybe have it removed because I dislike all this miserableness I am feeling. I am about to have this whole band removed. I know I eat more than I should but I can't feel it. Please help give me some insight on what is happening.
