Doctor, Doctor

I'm taking the hubs to a GI specialist tomorrow afternoon. For those who don't know, he had lap-band surgery two and a half years ago and has lost around 265 lbs.

Up until now, it's been smooth sailing but about a month ago, he began complaining of heartburn-like symptoms. It's gradually gotten worse and he says it feels like he's drinking buffalo wing sauce. Even worse, he began vomiting blood about a week ago--a pretty substantial amount every time.

We have a friend who went through the exact same thing and it was ulcers caused by the band slipping. Tomorrow he'll have to drink Barium and they'll take X-Rays. I'm hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Update soon to follow and to read about his lap-band journey, check out www.wcmessenger.com/losingbattle.
