Lap band, no lap band...lap band again?

Well good for her.

OMG this just scared the heck out of me!  I soooo need this band out of me.  I am so over weight loss surgery.  The reflux is crazy for me right now.  I have the same issues at night and am afraid I could die on my sleep!  Now I am so afraid of my stomach being cut while having the band removed.  I so regret ever doing this.  In your post you mentioned moving from Texas to California.  What part of Texas?  I am in Houston.  I am trying to find a new surgeon as mine moved to New Mexico

We lived in Seguin, between Austin and San Antonio. Whatever you do...do NOT use Dr. Pilcher. He is the doctor that cut me. The reflux was so bad for me that I was afraid to sleep. I was sleeping sitting straight up in bed, the best I could anyway. This didn't stop the reflux though. As soon as I fell asleep, I was having sever reflux, repeatedly. This lead to a stricture in my throat. I have gained a lot of weight back since losing the band. I had lost all the weight I wanted to, and then this happened. I don't know what to do now. It is hard to think about going through all of this for nothing. They have determined I have a hernia due to surgical injury. I have to have that repaired, but need to lose weight again, or there is a high chance of it returning. What a cluster f*ck.
