ANY PROLASPED BANDS?
Hi,
I had my band placed on 12/13/04 and for the past 8 months I have been having problems w/ it. I thought anxiety played a roll in why I am not able to get food down w/ just 1cc then w/ .5cc's. Now I am very scared b/c I am having the problem still w/ no fill at all.
When I eat I chew very well and after about 20 minutes I feel like a burning sensation in my upper chest and a knot. Sometimes I get up and walk around to help the food go down but it does not work. I pain is so uncomfortable but bareable but also aggrevating b/c you have to eat to survive. And to continously have this happen id frustrating.
I saw my surgeron a few days ago and he took the fill out which was .5cc and he feels my stomach is prolapsing up where a barium test can not see this. My barium test came back perfect back in January when the problems were getting worse. He also thinks maybe a stich broke.
Has anyone or know or anything like this happening? I know this is caused from vomiting and I have done that in the past b/c I ate to fast or too much.
I am very scared b/c this required surgery as you all know.
thanx
Jeannine
