i feel your pain gf! i got a good giggle out of some of this too btw..

First I had to go into see my surgen because she thinks I pulled a stitch! I was having port pain. After a few days it felt like how it felt right after sugery (that bad)/ So, had a CT scan done. Apparently, a scan doesn't show if you pulled a stitch. She just wanted to make sure everything was "working still going through right ect. She thinks I did pull a stitch & is hoping it will heal itself. So, it's been about 10 days & my belly is feeling better.

NOW, I'm having back issues!!!! It first felt like Siatica pain. It's horrible!! I can't bend iver pick up my kids do house work excerise ANYTHING!! I'm really bumbed out! I have been eating all the wrong foods! I was doing so well too. :waytogo:

OOOH! I feel like i ate a bit too much tonight. I'm frustrated w/ myself lately & the scale. I weighed a week ago & I was 173. somethng. Then a week late i'm 180 ish?!?!!?? i did not change anything!! Can a women fluctuate THAT MUCH!!!!!>!>!>!

oooo, that is so scary. Now that I am banded I wonder abbout ever having it removed. I hope you have a full fast recovery.

If I started on my blog & maybe help others too. So, I was banded 9-25-08 It's been almost 5 months! WOW!!! The BEST thing I have ever done!!!! I have lost 36 lbs so far & counting. It's a bit slower then most I think but I'm ok w/ it. I have not lost a good chunk of weight in YEARS!!!!

A lttle History: I have always struggled w/ my weight. I have always had poor self image issues. Even when I wasn't "FAT" I thought I needed to be thinner. I have never been skinny skinny. I guess when I was young I didn't have the confidence & didn't realize I looked good @ 5ft 2in 120-125 lbs. {STUPID} It never lasted long though. I was always up & down 20-25 lbs.

Now I just want to be "NORMAL".

Yes I agree w/ Lauren. My body healed so fast too! I was up & walking around hours after surgery. No prob!!! Weightloss a bit slower for me. 33 lbs since 9-25-08 BUT I am HAPPY w/ it! Go for IT!!!!

PS-thanks for the nice photo comment!
