:Banane09: Well I talked to the nurse at my band Dr.'s office. I was suppose to go in this Friday for him to look at my wound. Maybe even stitch it up. Well I can not make it out this Friday... no money for traveling. Anyway my Band Dr. was very happy to know I was seeing a wound specialist out here and that there is no reason for me to travel to CO to see him, since he was only going to look at it. He also said that he does not want to replace my band yet until I am completely healed due to the fact I am at high risk of infection. We are still having a lot of problems getting an approval from my insurence so maybe its a good thing that we wait until we get that approval.

Over all I am doing pretty good :bounce: my hole is still deep but not as wide... I guess thats what they mean by healing from the inside out. It still gets old packing it everyday and I bleed a lot, which is a good thing. My hubby is really good taking care of me. I get pain still sometimes so bad I cry but I guess that comes with the fact I have a hole in my tummy.

I am going to try and lose some weight... I will record what I am eating so I can hit myself later for eating that LOL I want to lose 5-10 before surgery... Today I weigh in at 287.5. Hey I really have not gained much being I have NO restriction. But on some days I feel I do have restriction and I do something very bad that NO bandster should ever ever do..... I dont even want to utter the words out of my mouth. :kiss

Wish me luck I want to be at 280 or 277 by surgery!!!!!!! :clap2:
