Desperatly trying to get back on track. . .

I had my surgery three years ago, and exactly two years to getting down to my goal weight I find out I was pregant. I had to have my band emptied and start all over again once I had my son. Good thing I didn't gain all my weight completely back. None the less, I have had my fills and am now experiencing horrible spells of vomiting, so bad that Water won't even stay down. I'm not sure what has caused this but I'm wondering if my band has slipped, all I know is that it's a horrible feeling

I had to go to a different Doctor to get my fills because my surgeon had left the practice (I really don't care for this new doc at all) I miss doctor Thomas and the old staff. Dr. Thomas has come back to seeing patients in Houston but I don't have an appointment with him until next Tuesday 02/17, that's if I don't die before then (geeze louise) I feel horrible. I am thinking about just going to the other surgeon and just having him empty my band completely and starting over with Dr. Thomas. Over the weekend I wasn't able to even hold water down, which I am desperatly craving! I got on this website and took the advice to try some warm tea, so far it's staying down lets see how long it lasts. . . :thumbup:

I would call the other doc immediately and schedule an unfill. I like your idea of starting fresh with your new doctor.

Will Dr. Thomas use fluro? That would give you piece of mind as to the placement of your band.

Congratulations on the baby! First one for you?

Thank you for the response. I did go yesterday and had my band emptied. I lost 11lbs from last Monday to yesterday. The doctor's response to me was "most woman would be jealous of you losing 11lbs so fast:cursing: Okay I want to lose weight but not like that. So anyways next Tuesday I get to see Dr. Thomas and hopefully start over. I'm so excited :thumbdown: to get back on track. I'm trying to eat light and stay away from the junk so I don't gain the 11lbs back.

That's great! I am so attached to my doctor, I can only imagine how I would feel in your shoes.

Tuesday isn't that far away. Hopefully you'll be able to salvage some of the weight you lost. Either way, you know you'll be losing again after the fill, so you are on the right track!
