Hi, This is my first time on a discussion board so I really not sure how to do this. I guess I should start by telling everyone a little bit about myself and why I am here. Well, I have had my band since June of 2007. I started at 249lbs and by October 10th I had lost to 201lbs. I was so excited. Then I found out I was pregnant and had to have the saline taken out of my band, I was so sad I had to quit loosing the weight just when I had such great momentium! Anyway, I had a healthy, very precious baby girl and in July I went back for my first fill. It was 2 cc and I had little if any restriction. So I went back in September and had my second fill, which took me to 5 cc. After 2 days with it in I started throwing up even my own spit!! It was horrible. I could not breathe without it hurting and I met my Doc at his office on a saturday afternoon to have it loosened. He took it all out because I have been throwing up for 18 hours. So I let my stomach heal for 3 weeks and then I went back for a fill. He gave me between 3-5 cc (unsure because he did not get the port the first time and some of the saline with unto my muscle). So now I feel as if I have no restriction and can eat anything I want as long as I do not eat real fast! Oh, during pregnancy I only gained 10 lbs. So I started the fill process in July at 211 lbs, but now I am up to 214 lbs. I am so frusterated and scared that I will never get back to losing weight!!! I do have an appointment for my next fill this thursday!
Thanks for any input or suggestions.
