Well I went to Kaiser yesterday and I told my surgeon about what I was
feeling. He asked me some routine questions, I showed him where the
burning was, and he did some feeling around to see if I was hurting or
tender anywhere unusal in my abdomen.
He didn't seem too concerned at this point , he checked my band to see
if there was any fluid left because when the other surgeon said he took
all the fluid out he was about 1cc short, which made me nervous too.
Well my surgeon found it, it was still there; so I had 1 cc left after
all.
He went ahead and added another 4 cc's for a total of 5 which is
close to where I was before I was too tight. I am now feeling some
restriction on the amount of food I can eat but nothing is getting
stuck, YEAH!!!
And oh yeah as for the burning sensation and pain in my chest and back, it is gone now??? Maybe my esophegus was just so irritated from being too tight last week and now it is better, not sure what else it could have been but I am sure glad no more pain.
My surgeon is so AWESOME!!!! I will never see a different surgeon again!
