I havent had a fill since my last surgery (11/11/05) & the past couple months I havent had any restriction,but saturday night I started getting A LOT of restriction & ever since then Ive had trouble swallowing foods(especially breads,etc). I was worried (considering I have a bad track reord) & called my surgeon. He sqeduled an upper GI tomorrow morning. Has anyone ever had this? The only thing I could think was that my band slipped...any suggestions? Thnaks=)

Ugh, steriods....lovely... Well, let me start from the beginning- Ive been having REALLY bad headaches/migraines. I went to the Dr. & he put me on a high dose of anti-inflammitories,which did NOTHING....so after crying the whole weekend I called my Dr back today & he put me on steroids-for 6 days. I hope to GOD this works because I am running out of energy(well,that ran out a loooooong time ago,so I guess patience & sanity is more the words Im looking for). *Crossing fingers* I`ll let ya'll know soon if Im feeling better!:help:

Lots of stuff has happened since my last entry. My fiancees grandfather died Sunday after a 5 year battle with Congestive Heart Failure. His sister, Tammy was there by his side when it happened. The nurse asked Debbie (Matts mother) Sunday morning if there was ANYONE who hadnt said their goodbyes to him yet, because usually people only hold on this long if they havent made "peace" with someone. While my fiancee's sister was by his side later that day, and after Debbie had told her about the talk with the nurse earlier, she thought that Dave her husband hadnt really had a chance to speak to him within the lst few days & maybe its him her grandfather is waiting to hear from. She called him on her cell phone & put the phone to his ear (he was in a coma) after a few minutes she took the phone, said she'd be home soon & hung up. Her grandfather took 2 more breathes & passed away... Gives you the chills doesnt it? I still dont know what exactly Dave said to him. But I did realize over the last week how close the 2 of them were- it was the 1st time ive seen Dave cry since Ive known Matt my fianncee (which has been over 6 years). The wake & funeral were absolutly beautiful-sad,of course (it made me remember my dads funeral soooo much I cried a LOT these past couple days) ...but it was a real closure to everyone. I met a lot of his family that I hadnt yet met (I met his grandfathers brother (who,sadly enough died on his sons birthday),Clyde-he lives in FL. He was so nice & told me numerous times how much he approved of me & that Matt had "done good" :nanahump: which was nice. Over this past week, through a trying & emotional time, I realised what a wonderful & caring family that I am marrying into-even my mom told me that-how proud & happy she was for me. That may sound strange,..but as they say trying times can bring people so close & that is VERY true. ~Heather

That stuff was almost like having diarreah 24/7! ICK

I have my toes tattooed....can you say OW? lol LOVE them though. I used to have both nipples pierced but they "fell out" which sucked. I`ll do it again when I get skinny:) I do have my traguses pierced (that nubby thing in your ear) that HURT. LOL

Thank you for fixing my pic Heather!!! =-) Unfortunatly thats not the best pic of me to date-i have to get my "before" pic up then you'll really be "shocked & awed" Thanks again!!!

I'm sorry to keep posting on your journal! LOL,but its been the only real one Ive read, and I must say,after reading your entries that I think you are a very intelligent & strong woman! You are handling the loss of your mother very well & are learning about grieving which is very important! Plus journaling is a very important outlet as well! I also like the idea you have to put 3 things at the end of each journal entry that you are thankful for-Im going to try to do that-it keeps things in perspective & reminds you that there are still good things happening & not to allow the bad things to over take everything Ok, Im sorry again! But I just figured I'd try to give some encouragememt & support while you are healing=) ~Heather

I am so excited- 1st my almost mother-in-law saw me today & the 1st thing she said was "oh my goodness! You've lost so much weight! Your melting away before us!" I LOVE hearing those things=-) Next we all went out shopping (mostly for fiancee) & I looked at myself in a full length mirror-I couldnt believe it-this had been the 1st time I had seen myself in a full length mirror for a long LONG time-and I was truely amazed-I actually liked looking at myself!Usually I hate even looking at myself in a half-length mirror! Later that night I decided to be daring- I bought some lingerie & those see through high heels (aka "stripper shoes").I tried it on for Matt-he was floored! To say the least!!!LOL I felt so beautiful,and not just because he was drooling- I felt beautiful-in my own skin-for once. I am so happy =-) ~Heather
