[simmah_oz 0]

hey ya'll hows it going, in my posts a few months ago I swore to u all I was going to die and I was a very sick little gurl, couldnt eat anything my body rejected all the medication, fainting, I looked gaunt, pail and ill, I was dehydrated and malnurished...So went in to have the band taken out.......then they did a ultra sound of my stomach and guess what?

I had gall stones........1000's of them little ones and massive ones...12 months I was pretty much in agony for...it was the crappiest time of my life. I Was 160 kilos and I got down to 79 in that time...

I have 1mill in my band now and since january I am back upto 87 kilos, I am going to get more fill in my band BUT I just needed time to recover, remember what it was like to be alive and well and eat and just be happy, its now april and Im feeling the goodness of life again.

Did it scare me? hell yes...did I think I had made the biggest mistake of my life...oh god yeah, but u know at the end with being so sick I seriously didnt have the energy anymore...

So just in case ur experiencing pain and they think its ur band, the pain I had was MASSIVE I would end up in hospital... massive pain after anything I ate I got it in my ribs and in my back, they knew the muscle

around my ribs was inflammed but like they thought it was from my band.

Soooooooooo thats me so far...

hope everyone is doing well.

Take care.

Love

Simmah..........

xoxoxoxoxoo.

Gosh, what an ordeal. I wouldnt be at all happy that it took so long to diagnose gallstones, just from what you've said there, its quite obviously likely. YOu should most definitley not have had to suffer that for so long, a simple ultrasound earlier on would have shown it.

Dont worry about the weight you gained, its not a lot and now you can get your band working for you, you'll lose it again in no time.

Glad you're feeling better and more positive.

Gday Simmah, I had been wondering what had happened to ya mate! What a horrible thing for you. I am lucky in that my GB was removed when I was 15 years old, so none of those probs for me.

Come and join us in the Australian section of the board and get chattin!:biggrin1:
