I had to go back to the ER today because I was having alot of pain and throwing up again today and Dr. Miles the surgeon came and seen me there and he is going to do a Endoscopy on me around noon tomorrow, so I'm praying he finds out what is wrong with me. He thinks its either a ulcer in the pouch or maybe somehow the pouch got strecthed and its raw and I know its not because I've been eating or drinking much.Whatever the pain is from I just want them to find it and fix it, today I was crying it hurt so bad. He did give me a prescription for Carafate (suppose to coat the ucler if I have one) but after waiting almost an hour at the drug store they told me they couldn't read the writing for how much to give me and so they couldn't filll it until the doctor called them back, so I didn't get it and yes I was pretty upset by this time, so another wasted trip to the ER with no relief. Anyway I am down around 30 lbs so I'm happy about that.

Unfortunately, I had to delete this post due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
