Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hiya Mel Shame indeed your friends sister didn't go back for another one – or something else like a VSG or bypass. Anyway I had a shocking experience with my first band; even thru the daze of pethidine in ICU I was thinking and planning when my next band would be going in. I even had my brother telling me that I was going back again. To me it was a forgone conclusion and no negotiation was being entered into. I am able to eat more than I could and should. So I understand your frustration Mel. I guess at the end of the day our surgeons don't understand and cannot appreciate why we rely on the restriction. It's not so much the fact that we are not able to eat, but it's the fact that the desire to eat is taken away. I loved it when I was not interested in food, eating was a necessity not an automatic function. In any case next week we shall see what Dr says. I hope you get some satisfaction soon too.
