I would suggest that you call your doctor's office right away for the doctor on call (if that is an option). If you are in that much pain you might need to go to the ER. I wouldn't wait it out.

Please keep us posted.

Sounds like your band may have slipped. CALL YOUR DOCTOR!

Call your doc and try not going to the ER, they tend not to know what to do with banded people(the ER). Also keep us posted!

OK all....so I went to the Dr and they told me that I had a small tear in my esophogus and took out 5ccs...I had 13ccs in my 14cc band...I felt IMMEDIATE relief! I go back next week to get my 5 ccs back...they wanted my esophogus to heal and for food to easily move down!

Thank you for your help and advice!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
