Tomorrow marks 5 weeks since being unfilled. The last week I finally feel like I am able to eat a wider variety of foods within my eating plan; dense protein and low carb veggies. I'm hopeful that I will be able to keep my band and lose with it, fingers crossed!

Got back earlier than expected...barium flowed through the band. There were some verticle striations in the stomach wall, indicating some wrinkling of the stomach tissue within the band which could explain why I've been having some problems even with no fill...the really good news is, I lost 3.5 lb! She said to wait a few weeks and see if my symptoms continue to diminish and keep doing what I'm doing.

Sooo, it's "good-ish" news? Kinda?
What's causing the vertical striations in the stomach wall? Any idea? Anything that can be done about it to make things better?

Hope the symptoms go away and things will be fine, Steph.
