Well, it's been a year and I've lost 7 lbs., and I have a dilated esophagas. Let me be a example of what not to do!! I have a history of an eating disorder, (obviously), and I am paying for it. For some reason In my backword mind I used the band as a challenge to see how much I could still eat. SICK,SICK,SICK!! Therefore I got a dilated esophagas and had to have most of my fluid taken out of my band while it heals. I had it taken out about 6 weeks ago and I go back to have fluid put in a week from today. Hopefully it's fully healed. So basically I will be starting over and this is the reason I am starting this blog. I would love to have your feedback, and encouragement, as well as your questions and comments. Keep your fingers crossed for me that my esophagas has healed so I can continue my journey the RIGHT way!:rolleyes2:

I'm not taking the road to depression highway!!!

Oh no, I had a choice and I took the high road. It could have gone either way. The high road or the road to depression highway. I was supposed to get my band refilled after 6 long weeks of nothing. I had a dilated esophagus so they took all fluid out of my band so it could heal. I was on my way to Doctors, (3 hours away), and an ice storm hit so I had to turn the car around. And believe me I was tempted to take the risk...........death by ice storm. So now I am waiting till Monday to get the news as to whether my throat is healed or not. Stay posted..................:embaressed_smile:
