Hi everyone,

have a major issues, have been in and out of ER and Dr office since last Thursday 3/25, band was too full, had adjusted ended up in er Friday night Saturday they took all fluid out of band, Sunday they had me drink the barium to see if band was ok, they said that it is in position and that it has not moved however I have not been able to eat anything solid since Wen. Night, I feel like I have a baseball stuck in side my esophagus, I was prescribed muscle relaxers on Monday but they make me all loo-pie....Has anyone else ever had this issue? Please I am desperate to get some answers, when will i feel better? I am to the point now where I want to get the band out, I don't know what more to do, I has the surgery last May and have lost 80 pounds, I just cannot keep going on like this.....any advice would great thanks

Hi Haileysmum,

I am so sorry you are having issues.  I have no idea why this is happening to you.  I have never had the feeling you are having last more than a few hours or so.  Is this the first time you have had this problem?  Have you talked with Nancy or Dr. Gens since last weekend?  Can they prescribe something a little less strong to try and help?  I would definately ask these questions.  Please keep us updated, and let us know what is happening.  I can tell you to hang in there, but I know that will not help!  Keep calling the Dr., that is your best bet. 

Wanted to give an update, come to find out I had a serve acid reflex issue, when the band was too tight, the acid in my stomachache went into my throat and burned my esophagus, it cased this issue I had t have a scope of my throat and tummy done Thursday, I am feeling much better today, I was able to eat solid food on Friday and I have to take prescription acid meds to fix the problem and settle my stomach, it was a very unpleasant experience, I had been in touch with Dr G and Nancy, pretty much every day that I was sick I talked to Dr G, he was great, glad to report feelings sooooooo much better, I can tell you all I was ready to get the band out it was that bad...however feeling great today . Happy Easter everyone

I am so thrilled that the problem was found and solved.  I think these doctors are the best.  Now you can relax and get back to the business of losing.  Have a great Easter.  You deserve it.
