Hello Again,,,

Hello all,,,

I've had my band for 6 years now...

Last recent history,,as far as memory serves me..

Got a fill in 12/07 I think,,

and 12/08 another fill,, reflux throughout the year,,

12/10 went in for an unfill,, then just went in 11/14/11 for a lil bit of a fill as since 3/10 I have gained 32lbs, with all but 7 of those lbs by 2/11.

Now the chaos,, Married 2/10, Bronchitis for 4 months, with antibiotics, Prednisone 3 times. 3/10 Car accident, Prednisone x17 days, 5/10 surgery, 6/10 another surgery, 01/11 pregnant, 3/11 miscarriage, D&E surgery.. And now Fibromyalgia diagnosed...

So I went from 226 down to 142 now up to 174

I cant take much for the reflux with trying to get pregnant,, and munching on tums several times a day is not an option either.. so now I must get a lil bit taken out.

I've only gone in for fills or unfills when needed, and having been a single mom,, it was only because I couldnt afford to go as "needed" Its a 2.5 hour drive(gas too) to Dr Rehnke's office and 150 a fill/unfill.. I had no insurance, and now what I have doesnt cover it.. So there ya have it..

So I figure, I'll check in back here as I was researching my reflux after a fill. I just hope that I dont have to get all of my fill I just got- removed,, as that is a waste of money,, and I dont have much restriction and lots of growling hungry tummy pains with out it.. I tried it this past year.. its a no go,, lol

So hello to all from the I feel fat again and not happy club..

Going in tomorrow to have a lil bit removed. /

11/25/11 UPdate... I did get a little bit removed.. Still have some burning acid pains,, but hopefully it will go away after the tummy has had time to settle from being a bit too snug. I did lose 2 pounds though.. down to 172.. Ugh, I've seen these numbers before,, but not since 2007....
