He said we really only have two options left, the first is to keep giving me fills in small doses and hope that the stomach/oesphogus get used to having the band in or the second option is to remove the band all together - AAARRRGGGHHH.
He said that after all I've been through he didn't think that I'd want the band removed (that's an understatement), so he said to push on and see what happens.
Here's hoping that everything settles down!!!
I will make sure I send lots of good luck and positive vibes to you. This probably sounds a little strange but if you have any spare time Rastis maybe you could do some meditation or visualisations focusing on accepting your band and picturing it as a long lost friend. I realise it is your body and not you rejecting your band but hey.... anything is worth a shot. fingers crossed for you.
