What To Do

[rocky900 4]

Here is my issue

I was having a lot of reflux and taking the Prilosec (generic) twice a day still had the reflux. They took out all the Fluid Had the wonderful barium swallow and the went in for the scope.

After the scope the dr said he did not see any issues from the reflux. He just said the band is pissing my stomach off and probably should have it out Come to see me in 3 weeks. Well I saw the PA ( he is the one that we see for fills and such). As I had an appointment scheduled with him for follow up after the tests

Well the PA looked at the test results and said everything was fine and he put 3ml (whatever measurement) and we would work back up to were I was before deflation. Well that was a week a go I stopped taking the Prilosec to see what will happen and sure as heck I had reflux. Well it felt like the start of reflux. So I started taking the pills again.

So basically I am frustrated. Sick I the reflux

I have yet to make the appointment. With the dr that did the scope. (he was the same surgeon the place my band 5-6 yrs ago).

So I am thinking that u will be calling him this week to schedule something. But don't want to piss of the PA that I see (they are in the same office)

Even with the rapid fill that the PA did I still am hungry and have slight acid

Think I am kind of done The most I have lost with the band is 50 lbs have kept it off.

I'm very sorry to hear about your struggles. Have you considered a gradual refill in small increments? The rapid refill may be causing you problems.

I am sorry to say it sould like u are were i was i ended up having my band removed and a by pass done i lost 125 pounds with the band. one dr said the band looked fine but after constant vomiting ven in my sleep and the acid shooting out y noise and the severe arm pain along with the dialiated and parlized espougas i had had enough when the surgent went in the band had slipped and had causes severe damage requiring 2 hrs of repair surgery. I am glad to say that i am 3 1/2 weeks out and on the mend did relize how misurable i was and how servere the problems were until the band was removed. Dont get me wrong my band was good to me but i did the same thing you are doing unfills refills with no previal i would recomend you do whats best for you and not to worrie about pissing off the pa it not his stomach that is in trouble. I didnt lay flat for 4 month before they took the band out. Wish you luck

Sorry to hear about your issues! Did you suffer from reflux before having the lap band surgery?

Sorry about your problems too, but I wouldn' t worry about pissing off the PA, he does not have a MD behind his name.

Also PA's almost killed my granddaughter b/c sometimes they think they're smarter than they really are. My daughter now does not let her see any PA. She is a very complicated child.

Best of luck to you!
