mandyb 3 Posted April 20, 2011 I called the Dr's office a few minutes ago...They said what I am experiencing is NOT Normal! theyare going to schedule me for an Upper GI to find out if the band has slipped. If the band slipped and that is the problem I will be going back into surgery to have it replaced. If the band did not slip then I will be having an endoscopy to see whats happening with my esophagus! I haven't heard when my Upper GI is...but I will keep you all posted! UUUgggghhhhh! Why me???

mandyb 3 Posted April 20, 2011 I haven't eaten a real meal since 2 Fridays ago.. Almost 2 weeks that I have eaten a good meal. I am regurgitating, gurgling, and it hurts to eat! I threw up last night (1/2 a freeze pop)! I am weak and not feelin right; I know something is not right So I finally called the Dr. again. MInd you I have nothing in my band-NO FLUID! It is completely deflated and I still have trouble! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess_Gottalose 1 Posted April 20, 2011 I had an upper GI to check for a slip and i didnt have a slip just to tight... I just went to the XRay room and drank some nasty barium mess lol and they watched it going through my band... It wasnt bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandyb 3 Posted April 20, 2011 I had an Upper GI before surgery! It wasn't too bad. Just the Barium was DISGUSTING! LOL... I am just scared! Trying to be strong for everyone...including myself! But just SCARED! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess_Gottalose 1 Posted April 20, 2011 They had me turned where I could see the monitor and it was weird looking at that Fluid moving through my band LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ElizabethNYC 1 Posted April 21, 2011 Hope everything turns out ok!! I had an endo before surgery and an upper GI after surgery. It was kinda cooling watching the liquid go through and seeing where everything was placed. Good luck and let us know what happens! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
