First Step: Get this band out!

[kikitrixie 9]

I was banded and I went to doc 3 years later (had no success) and said I WANT IT OUT! He was honest and said you should have never had the band done first of all so I will make a point of that to your insurance. I had spent 3 years throwing up, my health issues increasing-I swear my body was rejecting that thing! The few weeks prior to my band my throwing up was ridiculous! I wouldn't have minded if I'd be losing weight but nothing! Mostly fluid-and pain around my stomach and the port. I went through all the initial testing again. I had an EGD and the doctor was surprised at my tolerance he said you have sever acid reflux-put me on highest dose of meds and here's the kicker-I saw little success! He advocated for me also and put band must be removed! Next thing I knew all was approved! I had the conversion only to find out I had severe scar tissue from band and it had cause hernia and that's why my vomiting had gotten worse! I am so excited to have that thing out! I hope you the best and I hope my story helped
