One Yr 8 Mths
Jun 13, 2009
Well I have had a really awful 6 months and have been unfilled for over 3 mths. Went from 162 to 185lbs but have started a diet and lost 5lbs this week, so down to 179lbs. It is very difficult.I have been checked out for gall stones and stomach ulcers but these tests have been negative - BUT the reflux and sickness continues. I haven't had an uninterupted nights sleep in ages and the constant burning has caused my esophagus to become inflamed and narrowed.
Saw my surgeon last week and he says last chance is that it is a Heitia Hernia. If it is it is a few stitches, if not the band needs removing. Not sure I can handle the second outcome.
Apparently, when I had my band fitted, I may have had an existing Hernia but they never stitched the opening to make it smaller, a procedure that they are now doing.
I am sure that I know have a band slip. I can't see how you can be sick every couple of hours for weeks and still be o.k. But fingers crossed.
If he says band out - he may not see me again! Although, I have been so ill, it will be a releif to get some sleep. I also have not been to the gym as I lack energy and don't feel well, so I don't know that if I uped the exercise and went weight watchers whether I could maintain my weight - to a degree.
Hope all of you are doing well and working the band.
