Seriously Concerned somethings wrong



Recommended Posts

I have been banded for 4 years now. And fora long while I was eating more than my portion was to be because I could not afford going to get my fills. Now i'm having serious acid reflux problems, belching and been bak to 2 fills both times I had to have some Fluid taken out. I don't know if something is obstructed or erosion has possibly happened. I can't usually eat or drink anything in the morning at all. If I do I throw it back up, and I can eat and hold down chili but can't hold down coffee? What's up with that?

I reently had a foot detox that removed alot of heavy metal in it which is probably the acid. I don't have hardly any restriction or feel it at all. At the last fill I had the Dr. unfill and let me drink before letting him fill me back up. I do lose weight but then somehow I gain it back before my next fill. I was also told that it did look like I had an obstruction with the barium swallow last time. I am going to have it unfilled completely. Oh after the unfill I drank a half gallon Water and still felt an icky acidic taste in my mouth.

I believe that I should have an endoscopy done, and as well as maybe have it removed because I dislike all this miserableness I am feeling. I am about to have this whole band removed. I know I eat more than I should but I can't feel it.

Please help give me some insight on what is happening.

I don't have any words of wisdom, I just wanted to wish you luck in getting to the bottom of this and getting back to maybe enjoying your band life again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
