Almost 2 years out and back to surgery I go.

Well my worst fears have been confirmed. I will be back to surgery on 8/10. My band has slipped and my stomach has prolapsed through the top of my band. The last two weeks have been horrible. I can't sleep and I can't eat. I am even more so nervous for this surgery than the first. My physician says I am rare only 5% of individuals have band slips. Well does that make me a higher risk for other complications? Please keep me in your prayers. Good luck to all, and here is hoping the 2nd time is the

Trick or Treat-This time not some much a trick.

I was just looking over old post and noticed that I posted last year around this time. Wow, what a difference a year can make. I have been at a plateau now for about 4 months. It probably has to do with my band being overfilled and then underfilled and now once again my band is giving me problems. I have had reflux for the last 3 weeks or so. After reading last year's post at least I am feeling better know that I have come a long way since then!! :crying: My overall message, no matter what obsti

1.5 Months till my 1st Band Birthday!

Well it has been some time since I posted to my blog. It probably has something to do with consistant loss of weight since then. Well I should say until recently. I guess I have alot to be happy about, but can't seem to be at this time. I guess gaining 4 pounds seems like alot at this point in time and it is impossible not to feel discouraged. I was filled to 7.6cc but had reflux and heartburn so I went back to the doctor and he took out a whole 1.0cc. I guess I should be thankful he didn't take

Trick or Treat!!! I think the Trick has been on me.

Here it is almost 3 months out and I haven't lost any weight since coming home from the surgery... So today I sit and wonder if the trick isn't really on me.:thumbup: I have been walking and trying to watch what I eat and have been concentrationg on how I chew and make sure to never drink during meals. It is very frustrating to not see the scale move and not have any NSV. The worst part of it all is when people ask how much weight I have lost. I go in for my 3rd fill on 11/7/08 and I am hoping t

41.5 hours till the much anticipated time

The weekend went by so quickly. I just hope the next 41.5 hours go by just as quickly.   The baby shower and birthday party went well. I can't wait till I get to meet my new niece!!! I hope she isn't born while we are gone to get the surgery.   My last meal before the preop clear liquid diet for 3 days was left over sub sandwich(we had so much left from the baby shower) and guacamole.   The first two days on the preop clear liquid diet have not been bad at all. My stomach really rumbled

Less than one week till the big day!!!

Well only 5 more days till the day. I am so excited & scared both at the same time. I don't think I was nearly half as excited as I was for my wedding day. I of course am not into being the center of attention. I am the caregiver and don't have much time to care for myself, that is why this surgery is so important to me. IT IS ABOUT TIME I START CARRING FOR MYSELF!!!!   At my preop appt on June 18th I weighed in at 236 with a BMI of 44.1. My highest weight after nursing my son was 243 on
