doughmommy 0 Posted February 26, 2009 Hi, I will be 3 years post op at the end of August. I feel really stupid because I don't know how I got to this point. I was doing great and then all of a sudden...wham. I had lost 130 lbs and was doing wonderful until I started having some major acid issues. I went to my dr and they discovered that I had a dialated esophagus. They took all the saline out of my band. I have spent the last year trying to get back to a good fill. I think I have picked up some bad habits along the way. I currently have 11 cc in my 10 cc band. Yes, you read correctly. I am over filled but had to be in order to feel any restriction at all. When they took my saline out of my band because of my esophagus dialation they actually took out 13 cc's. They had no idea how that much could have gotten in there. They had records of all my fills and couldnt understand why there was so much in there. Anyway I gained 45 lbs when my band was out of commission. I cannot seem to get back to a good weight loss regimine again. I guess maybe I am eating soft calories or consuming sliding foods. I don't know. I am just concerned I will never get back to my losing weight again. My dr will not put any more saline in my band and I don't really think I need it. I need a kick in the butt. That is where you come in. I need help with what I should be eating. What I should be staying away from. Please help me. I have another 150 lbs to lose. PLEASE HELP! I am a mother of 2, 36 years old and live in Kansas. I am looking for someone that will hold me accountable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
