Janey...

Unfortunately I think the problem with poor Kristie was a lack of

chewing. Of course things can happen... food if not chewed enough can

get stuck - usually it reverses itself back out and the problem is

solved. But, it can also get stuck and won't go down and won't come

out. This is rare and I have not heard of it happening very often.

Usually the doctor will remove any fill asap and the problem is fixed.

Hi Janey,

I don't think the bleeding I had is all that common - in fact, I've

never heard of it before and that's a reason why I was so worried.

And to be honest it really was my own fault as I did not chew the

chicken nearly as much as I should have.

Who is your surgeon??

The important thing to remember is if you have any severe problems,

get to the hospital or your surgeon and get the fill removed

immediately and 95% of the time this will fix things. As soon as the

fill was taken out of my band I stopped vomiting and have been fine

ever since.

I am glad to hear that you are doing well Kristie. My Surgeon is Dr

Brancatisano and I hear now that he is going to the Central Coast! I

hear that he has a good reputation and a great support team.

Is he the surgeon through Circle of Care?? A friend of mine was

banded by him and she is 7 months post op and has lost about 50kg.

It is alot but it has started to slow down now and she's actually

going in for a fill tomorrow. Also she has another 50kg to go.

I thought that vomiting it back up was from over eating, not just not

chewing (from the information i have read)

Yes the very same. I am very impressed with the support team that they

have available. Everyone is always have to chat if I have any

questions. Its time consuming with appointments, but i think it will

be worth it to have the support that I need.
