Well, all I want to say here is that I had a terrible surgery experience. I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks postoperatively with complications. Then I had 4 or 5 fills and didn't feel any restriction until the last fill. The fills were painful and long. I don't list my surgeon because I don't have anything nice to say about him.
I gave up on the surgery and abused my stomach by gradually eating to the point of stretching my pouch. I had a real scare after doing this and decided to get my S*** together and be good. I'm eating healthy and exercising as much as I can and I'm starting to lose weight. I feel great and am very optimistic. I'm not under the care of a physician right now and I don't feel like I need to be because I have enough restriction for the time being.
I had completely lost restriction when I stretched my pouch and I had terrible heartburn. Scared me to death that I might have a slipped band.
I'm being a good girl now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
