The Unfill

I never thought this would happen. It happened.

 

Yesterday I almost fainted at work - left, was instructed by my doctor and was told to go to the ER - my pulse was out of this world and I was just ... ick. I was dehydrated. Explained that my band was probably too tight, I haven't been able to keep much down. My ER here locally couldn't help so they sent me about three hours away to Wichita Falls to a doctor there.

 

 

First let me say: DR. WARNOCK YOU ROCK THE HOUSE! I loved this doctor and although he took all the fluid out of my band, I loved this doctor and the whole experience. I have never felt more... encouraged... than I did when I met with him and left his office.

 

So - no fill - he wants to see me again in about 4 weeks and we'll do an x-ray and such at that time to see if band placement is an issue or if we can begin filling my band again slowly.

 

I feel good about this. Didn't think I would, but I do.

 

So - here's the plan, I'll get up tomorrow, excercise with these fantastic new vibram five finger shoes and get to work with my feet on the ground, head held high and a reminder that I'm making this body my own... because it was mine (not the food's) all along!

Im going for an unfill today. This darn band is so finicky. Im so sick of not being able to keep food down. I had a time where I went 3 days without being able to eat, drink or even keep saliva down. Doc took fluid out and I was better. Ended up getting more fills a few weeks later . UGH..... this band!
