Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 HI , It may not be so bad. It could be a burser, an irritation from the screw rubbing against the skin. Help me here, or someone else. I don't think I'm explaining it very well. I have a screw that is very close to the skin - it's absolutely visible. I was told to try to avoid resting that part of my back against anything so as to avoid getting this problem.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi, I have a question. I have had only one fill (then slight unfill) and have been pretty restricted. I had to really be careful what I ate and how much I ate because of this. It seems like I have gone from alot of restriction to almost no restriction over night. I am worried. I did just over the flu, had two episodes of vomiting, and now I am fighting a cold with a cough. Is it possible to lose restriction so quickly? Do you think my band slipped? I am not having any other issues other than being able to eat more than I usually would. I am freaking out a bit and wonder what you all think. Please let me know what you think I need to do. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
