Pleae pray for my body, and the surgeonm he says there will be some scar tissue this time he will have to deal with. UGH! But I will thankfully be back to being banded onc3 again, Blessings everyone:lol:

Hello, Hello,My name is LaQuita and I am 'new' to this board. BUT I am not a new bander. I was banded in August of 08. I am 5'2 and weighed 241. The first fill I was supposed to have, I couldn't have b/c the port had sliped and turned sideways. The Dr could not access it for the fill. I had to have surgery again 6 weeks later so the Dr could secure the port with more stitches. I had lost over 40+ pounds (down to 198) before I had my next set of problems with my band.I got to 7cc and started throwing up so the Dr took out 4 cc, waited a ferw months and we started back again. I got up to 7cc again and this time I started throwing up and wouldn't stop. My Dr couldnt see me so me sent me to the ER to have a raiologist take it ALL out. We did this the week before Christmas. I saw the Dr the first week of January and he said that the radiologist said my and had silpped from all the throwing up. So, now that this has happened twice I am having a band revision. This time he will use the Relaize band on me. He is taking the 'other' one out and putting this one in on March 1st 2010. I have since gained back some of the weight I had lost, from being able to eat more than I should. I am now at 225. I am an emotional eater, we have a special needs child at home (she is 20 years old) . I am her primary caregiver. I NEED encouragment especially since I feel that I have had so much trouble with my first band. Any encouragment that anyone can give me WILL BE GREATLY appreciated.!! Thanks so muchLaQuitawww.caringbridge.org/visit/shea UPDATE: i WAS not able to get banded on March 1 as listed above. Our daughter 2 was in the hospital for over 20 days during this time for blood clots in her lungs, neck and both arms. We almost lost her! pRAISE the Lord :rolleyes2:she is home and doing well now. So: my new band date is for TOMORROW/TODAY/MONDAY. woohoo:lol: So you can see that I am in need of someone mentoring me right now to keep me in check and to help me keep my mind on myself (mother's dnt do a good joob at this do we)? i appreciate and welcome nudging:thumbup:. Thanks ahead of time for the support.

WOOHOO FINALLY after having to postpone my last scheduled date I am finally getting banded on Monday at 7:30 am.:thumbup: This will be actually a re-vision. I am gping from 'the Lap-Band' to the Realize band. Praying for no complications this go around. Anyone else being banded timorrow?
