possible band slip

Mar 24, 2009

ok, so Back from the dr. Since there is a possible band slip, Dr Brown took all the fluid out of my band!!!!!!! I want to CRY! I love my band and all the fluid in it... I had 3 cc's in it and he took out 1.9 cc's He couldn't get any more out.

He also ordered an ultrasound on my gallbladder and an endosocopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy) with conscious sedation. So we'll see how it goes. If it's not the gallbladder, then we're gonna leave the fluid out of the band for 3 or 4 weeks to see if the band "re-adjusts."  He said the chances aren't good that it will work out that way, but we hope it does. If not then I'll have to have another surgery to fix it or who knows what...

Gosh I'm so upset about this whole thing. I love my band and I never appreciated it as much as I should until now... I'm eating like a pig and it makes me sick. uggggggg I HATE THIS
