Surgery Tomorrow Morning

[hockeymother 178]

Well my band has slipped. After 7 months and many many sleepless nights due to acid reflux and dreadful heartburn, I go in for surgery tomorrow to reposition my band. Thanks god he can reposition it rather than take it out completely because if that were the case I would be devastated. Looking forward to getting back to normal again.

I've been relatively problem free with a weight loss of 7 stone (98lb). However duRing the last six months I've regained half of the weight and suffered from dilbilatating acid. Reflux & vomiting.

I've yet to get to the bottom of this?

I would get checked! I was told that acid reflux is a sure sign that something is not right.

Long story really... Well I went back to where I had it done but only saw a nurse and that was a waste of time as she ended up filling my band. Now things are worse than ever!

Yes I know. The problem I face here in the UK is that I had it doMe as a private patient. Therefore the Nhs won't deal with it and I don't have any money to pay for investigations.

I am in the process of trying to get transferred across from the paid system to the free one.

Surgery went well. Now I start over new! Liquids.....mushies and so on. It was so nice to sleep last night with no heartburn or acid reflux. I didn't have to prop 4 pillows behind my head and back to sleep sitting up. On the road once again.
