Hi everyone, it's been a while.

I was banded in Mexico in June of 2006 by Dr. Joya. Everything was great and then I stopped losing weight about 6 mo's ago. I get my fill's done by Dr. Billy. I have had 2 fills and nothing, I still have a bit of restriction but BARELY. I keep telling him no restriction and he said that is because I am under 200 lb mark and the band won't do anything for me anymore. He mentioned that they should do an Endoscopy but no one ever called me to do it, they probably just got busy and he forgot to tell the nurses - fast forward a few months.

I started to have lower back pain like a burning sensation a few months ago. I thought maybe it was because I sat at a desk all day long and have for years and it was just catching up with me.

Now over the last few weeks that pain has moved up my spine and I have HORRIBLE lower back pain and upper back pain too.

YES, I HAVE HAD MY GALL BLADDER REMOVED

Yes, it does get worse when I eat.

I also have started to feel a tightness in my chest like I can't breath all the way right. I can't get a full breath and it almost feels like I am going to start wheezing.

I contacted Dr. Billy in Ventura, CA and they scheduled an Endoscopy for Tuesday next week. I also contacted my Primary Care physician and he thought it might be an infection or something and scheduled a Chest Xray. The Endoscopy is first though.

The pain is so bad I wake up with it, I go to bed with it, if I eat it is worse and now I am starting to have nausea as well.

When I breat I get sharp stabbing pains in my back.

Please let me know if anyone has been through this, I am slowl deteriorating worse each day.
