My band can be saved!

OH Alyssa, this is the greatest news possible!!!!! You made my day -- I am so glad that a dx was finally made. I knew this could NOT be in your head. I look forward to hearing a surgery date. Take care, Amy

It's funny how many people had a better day with my good news!!! I am so relieved! My surgeon chuckled at the thought of calling me mental, but he then said, "I feel so terrible for calling you nuts! I just couldn't believe someone so young and sweet could have all these problems". He now believes that my bladder disease is real and now with the hiatal hernia present, he understands why this last year has been so terrible! I will let you guys know when I get a surgery date!!!

Alyssa - Just wanted to add in my sincere best wishes for you. I am so glad you found a doctor who figured out what was going on and that it can be "fixed' relatively quickly. And then the hard work of losing all that weight again... Best of luck to you! Lessons learned: Persevere, Get second and third and sometimes even fourth opinions and Do a lot of research.

Hi Alyssa, I am so glad you got some answers. It is so frustrating when you know something is wrong and no one believes you. Let us know how you are doing. Mona

Alyssa, I am so thrilled for you!!!! After all this time to fianlly find out wht is wrong and that you can sort it out!! Brilliant news. Kate

Alyssa - this is great news! Hope it all works out for you!

That is SO COOL!!! Can you even believe it?! Your persistence certainly has paid off. I admire you for sticking with the answer-finding mission and not giving up. I'm so excited for you!! Jeanine
