hi all, I have been so bad about checking in.. what a week here
I have been doing some vomiting after meals but this weekend it took the cake. then the pain started, then I couldn't even keep the water down so on Tuesday I went in to see the doctor test were run and I was a direct admit Wednesday I had my Lap Band removed and replaced, I'm home and feeling good(thanks to the med's)
I still wouldn't trade it for the world

Tess, oh my goodness! What was the problem? Was your band out of position? Glad to hear you're recovering and still have a band. Take it easy and help quickly!

yes my band had started to slip they had hoped they could just adjust it. but, then I was scheduled for a band removal and VG band placement. so I think that's what happened I left the hospital 9 hours after my surgery so I haven't talked to the surgeon yet, just an hospital intern who really didn't know much

So, you switched from a smaller band to the VG? Wow. I'm so glad you are feeling better. You mentioned this on another thread (the GFG?) and I'm glad you posted your own. Let us know what your doc says at your next follow-up!

OK went to the doctors yesterday, everything looks good. I received a VG band and have to start all over except for the food stages I can go to soft and not have to live on liquids, the only issue will be I have no restriction and wont for about 3 weeks, they will do my first fill June 14. I feel lucky to have been able to have a new band put in. now my personal goal is to not gain any weight, weight in at office at 184

Hey Tess *hugs*
I'm so happy to hear that things are going well now, and that your band problems are resolved. I'm sure it feels great to be able to eat again with no pain. Just like when you were first banded, try not to worry too much about the weight loss until you've had a fill. Right now, forcus on healing and taking care of yourself. Keep us posted on how you're doing!
