2nd prolapse-heartbroken

[mominkansas 2]

I prolapsed again yesterday and had to get the band unfilled and meet with a surgeon in the next couple of weeks.

My practice says if you prolapse 2 times it will continue to happen and the band needs to be switched out. My stitches holding the flap on my band could have become loose or my body could be rejecting the band. according to my doctor this is the only realize band that they have seen this happen to.

Either way I have to really watch it. I don't know what to say. This prolapse came out of the blue. No throwing up or PB'ing.

The good news is it it sounds like they are going to be committed to finding a solution for me.

The bad news really depressed. I have no desire to anywhere not even to Easter with my family. I did everything right. I have no idea why this happened.

I'm so sorry--what a disappointment! I am glad they are committed to helping you find a solution--but wish there were no need.

You have lost 77 pounds. That's HUGE (pardon the expression!). You are so far along there's no need to get depressed now. Enjoy your holiday with the knowledge that you are so successful!

Sorry for your roadblock- this is hard to deal with. But if you can lose 77 pounds you can do anything! Have a good Easter!

Hi, I am new to the site. Could you explain what you mean by prolapsing? As the others said, you lost 77 lbs! That's amazing. Try to stay positive and good luck on your journey.

GMC, I agree with you. I wish there were a glossary of some type where us newbies could learn the language. I haven't a clue what PBing means.

PB means "productive burp." It's not a good thing. I've only done it once and it's not fun.

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles, but like the others said, it's great that everyone is committed to solving the problem -- and let's hope this is just a tiny roadblock that has a scenic detour!
