Hi Kimberly,
I am struggling with the same thoughts. I sometimes can't believe that I've done this and even sometimes worry it won't work for me. UGH! Thankfully, I have a great support system.
I've also got a pulled muscle in my stomach from sneezing! It's a constant dull pain but, when I sneeze or cough, it's quite painful.
I hope your recovery continues to go well. Keep in touch!

Have you asked your surgeon for an abdominal binder? It helped a lot! So much so I go back to work tomorrow!!! Hope you're healing nicely!
Hi. I'm doing okay. I've had a little bit of pain because I pulled something a few days ago. Had a little bit of a breakdown upset about how little I can eat. I usually only have maybe a protein drink or two and maybe about 4 oz of pureed Foods a day. I really can't get more than that in because I just can't seem to eat that much. There are some times that I feel hungry but at the same time nauseous so I don't really eat. I'm hoping to get walking soon cuz I know that will help. Hope you're doing well.

Kelly, I had a breakdown a few days ago and was crying thinking about what I had done to myself. It's hard to imagine only being able to eat this amount of food forever although I know it will get easier. I've been very very tired and I've had paying it because I pulled something and I've had a pain that goes from my stomach through to my back. Went back to the doctor and everything is okay so just have to wait for it to heal. Hoping to get up walking more because I know that will help. I hope you're doing better as well

I would be happy to talk to you. I was very lucky in that they approved my revision pretty much immediately. My stomach was the size of a banana and should be the size of a clementine and my stoma was the size of a quarter and should have been the size of a dime. I had a couple hernias too. He didn't repair the hernias he just did the bypass over and made everything smaller the way it should be.

Meaghan, I completely understand. I broke down a few days ago crying thinking about what I have done to myself. It's hard to imagine only being able to eat 4 oz for the rest of your life. Also, I pulled something and have had pain in the stomach and back feels like a sword going through me. I'm dealing but I've been very tired and between that and the pain it's just frustrating. I know it will get better soon and I know the reasons that we did it are good. I hope that you're starting to feel better. I'm determined to start walking soon because I think that will help.

Hello Ladies,So glad to find that I am not alone in this matter. I had this band done by Dr. Molina probably 16 years ago and I would love to get it removed. I still have issues with throwing up. Also does anybody have any idea if we can get our hands on our medical records anywhere? I know that Dr. Molina died and the Spring Branch Hospital had closed down. Just doing my due diligence and trying to gather any helpful information that I can regarding the removal of the band done by Dr. Marcel Molina. Any help or information will be very appreciated.
