I've was just told I have gastroparesis

[I love lucy lover 61]

This really sucks, I was just diagnosed with gastroparesis. They put me on Regalan but I am still throwing up after every meal, and I cannot eat much to begin with. I have lost 13 lbs this month alone. Im so upset. Anyone else have this problem?

I just had to look it up. What caused it? What were/are your symptoms?

I have gastroparesis and achalasia caused by my band.

ok, I looked it up. Sounds like the your doctors-f**ked up. My opinion. But knocking Lap Band is still wrong. My cousin had by-pass over 25 years ago and the doctor screwed up and no one was on her side but everyone knew that doctor slipped with the knife. Her daughter, a RN, had the same surgery. That did not stop her. Except she is fat again because she eats and drinks, wine, a cocktail when out and large portions. Her fault, no one else. Things happen. My husband always says, doctors practice medicine. Well they practiced and did something wrong, it seems. Sorry to hear that.

For over a month now I could not keep anything down, it is different than being stuck. I was throwing everything up. Lost 14 lbs in 1 month. Had sever stomach cramps too.

Thank you, Im a definetly not knocking the lap band. I did a lot of research, and unfortunatly this does happen sometimes to lap band patients. nothing to do with the doctor, just an unfortunate side effedect but I didnt see anything in my post about knocking it?
