Hi April 8'ers. Sorry for not being good about responding. Just got first fill July 9th...have had complications.....swelling around band, started mid-May, on predisone, hard to lose on predisone, was hospitalized, was not keeping even clear liquids down. Husband has also been in hospital due to fall day before my father died. Husband also in motorcyle accident. Have had two vacations absolutely cancelled. Dang. Too much going on. Somehow have managed to lose 45 lbs. Not sure how. Started at 256 down to 211. Was at a complete stall while on predisone (for 4 weeks). Sounds like everyone is doing really well. Can't believe it's been 3 months.

Hi April 8ers!! Down 37# to 219. My father was very ill and passed away May 16th. Had great difficulty eating (stress, emotions, etc.), father was in intensive care 11 days. Anyway, went for fill May 7, didn't need fill, already restricted. Kept getting worse and worse til I was not even keeping down water. Was admitted to hospital 2 days last Wed and Thursday, on Reglan and steroids for swelling. Am to see dr. again Friday, June 13th. Other than that am fine, am on mushies for 10 more days. Glad to hear from you guys. You're doing GREAT.
