I had to have my fill taken out because I had 4 bad infections going on and I was vomiting, and I couldnt get anything down. In my 14cc band all I had was 2.3ccs in my band and it still made things get stuck. Well, this was last friday about a week ago. Since then I have watched what I ate, and have gained 12lbs. Im so mad, so depressed, etc. I go see my doc today. And I just dont know what to do. For a while, my band was tight. My calories per day is about 300 to 600. I drink shakes, and when I do eat I vomit it back up. It was almost like I had bulemia or however you spell it. Well, I am addicted to doing that. I was dropping weight like flies. Perhaps I had a problem. So, now Im eating, and gaining, and I am so depressed. I cant tell my doc what I was doing because he would loosen my adjustment. I barely had anything in there to begin with. Anyway, I just need some advice. I dont exercise because I have back and disc problems. Apparently being obese for so long did a number on my back. I also have fibromyalgia. But, I know its a serious issue to vomit and I know that I shouldnt enjoy that. But it feel wonderful to lose 100lbs in a year. This is the first time I gained. Im scared. What if I reach my goal, and they take the fill out, and I gain again? What is the point? To be honest I want the sleeve. That is all I am thinking about. But my doc says, sleeve is permanent and the band isnt. Just sad and depressed. :rolleyes2:

I can understand your frustrations. IMO, though, I think that you may need to seek some counseling. You're doing yourself alot of damage by not only vomiting (stomach inversion, slippage, etc.) but it really sounds like a bigger problem mentally (no offense). Don't be afraid to get help.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
