starting to hate my band...

[mommytoethan 0]

seriously.

for about 6-7 mos now, i've had nothing but problems... i get sinus infections and upper resp infections often due to my allergies. once i get sick, my band get tight and i have to get Fluid out. then once i'm better, i get it back in.

it seems like i'm there every 6-8 weeks doing this. i am getting sick of it.

like now for instance. i went in the week before xmas due to being very sick and had fluid taken out. went in this past monday to have it put back in since i felt 100% better. did fine after the fill and did fine yesterday (tues). got up this morning and tried to drink a protien drink and have been sick all day long. i cannot keep anything down - including liquids.

called the doctor and will have to go into the office tomorrow around 4. so that means nothing to eat/drink until tomorrow evening.

this is getting frustrating and i just dont know what to do anymore. i want to keep my band because when it's all good, it works perfectly! i just dont know what to do.

when i voice my concerns to my surgeon, he just says that i must be sensitive.

anyone know what could be going on or what i could do? maybe i should just have everything taken out and start completely over with my fills?? ugh!

im extreamly sensitive also with my fills i could not imagen getting unfilled and going back in to get the whole fill back id be dieing i have to go with max of .2 fill each time to give myself time to ajust to the fill and when i get tight i dont have a unfill i just dont eat. for the rest of the day just sip of extreamly small amonts of Fluid when im having a hard time keeping Fluid down too. then the next day or so i just have watered down Protein shakes and i drink them slow one shake takes me about 6 hours to drink. I find it easyer on my stomack to do it that way cause the fill and unfill is hard on my band.

hang in there youll find what works for your band its fusterating at times but once you get there youll love your band.
