Feeling so much better!!!!!

I am feeling so much better since my adjustment. I am eating more than I was. that wasn't much. But now I am getting in at least one good meal a day. I have my kids home for Easter break as soon as they go back to school. Next week I will get back on my food journaling and exercise schedule. I feel so much better now that I am not too tight. No headache no chest pain and it does not hurt to breath. I am eating 6 ozs per meal and it feels better than it was before the adjustment. I am 15 pound

Omg!! Too tight again!!!!

Well I ended up going to see my surgeon again. Under fluro 6 weeks after having a removal I had to have even more removed. Not much but it was enought to finally feel better. I can finally eat something again. Yogurt had even started to be a problem. I feel much better today, no headache any more and I don't have a tight chest pain in the middle of my chest. I can breath again.

Flipped Port

Hey everyone went for my fill Oct 15th. Under fluro as only Dr. Goldstein will do. the needle wouldn't go in. Dr. said my port must be flipped. Went in to repostion my port on Nov 23rd. Went well I was in and out of surgery felt like 25 minutes. Now to lose the 6 pounds I gained. Finally got permission to exercise again. Wish me luck back on the track and hoping to lose 50 more pounds.:thumbup:

Too tight again!

well I'm going to see my Dr. tomorrow. He will probably take a few drops out again. I am feeling tight again. I knew I was getting tight again around my period but then I just couldn't eat anything. I was able to get maybe 2 tsp of soup in but it felt like I ate 2 gallon. Wish me luck I have no pain, thank God because I am taking it very very slow. Wish me luck and I can't wait to eat a full 5 oz yogurt again.:thumbup:

Not Slipped

Hey saw the doc just too tight. Doc took out .2cc so I went from 5.8cc to 5.6cc I feel so much better. I was a little concerned because I had a fill 8 weeks earlier and had no problems so I am glade I called when I started having problems. I could have made my band slip if I didn't pay attention to my body. Back to walking again. Haho!:thumbup:

Feeling stalled.

Well it has been 21 days and I'm only down 7 pounds. I'm hungry all the time and not for nothing but can eat anything. I've eaten everything even had mushy pasta that I chewed till it was paste and still no restricted feeling. Told my case manager. All ayone says is "You have to wait 6 to 8 weeks after surgery to get a fill. I shoud be back up to 222 pounds by then. My famiy is being very supportive and my kids keep telling me "Mommy your doing great we are so proud of you." I guess me telling t

Just getting started

Started on this journey alone thinking no one would be supportive. I never get support on anything I do. Also I never do anything for myself ever. So when I finally told my husband I'm researching lapband surgery, I want to do it and we have very favorable insurance for lapbanding surgery. I was shocked when he said "If it will make you happy and it is something you want to do, go ahead." So I kept going. Went for all the tests, got my PCP to write a letter for me to my insurance company. Thougt
