I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG!

So I had my surgery November 10th, 2010. From day one after the surgery I was able to eat chicken salad and smushy things with no problems, i went right past the liquid stage because apparently they said eat what you can tolerate. So its been 6 months, i was able to eat anything i wanted in pretty decent amounts and never had anything stuck or anything like that. I was almost at full capacity. 13.5 cc in a 14 cc band, and only at a 20lb loss. i knew something wasnt right. I had an x-ray and apparently the band became "un-latched". the part that held it together was not in place and had to be fixed. They immediately set me up for revision surgery .I had the surgery yesterday and boy what a difference! i get full after a popsicle, or 2 bites of applesauce and i only have 4 cc's in there. Im so happy that i can finally be on my way to getting healthy and losing weight!

Wow, that must have been SO frustrating for you. I'm glad you got your revision and you're on the right path now!

YAY! I just read your post in the Nov 2010 bandsters thread. Glad they got it sorted! Having just gotten to restriction myself, I'm sure it's a trip for you feeling it. I know it is for me. Congrats!

Wow, I can't imagine. I probably would have gained weight. I guess things like that do happen; my band slipped immediately after surgery and I had to have it re-done like 36 hours later. I am glad you are on the right path now......
