Band is finally "working" again at 9.5cc in a 10cc band in that I have and am maintaining restriction. Doesn't leave me much room left to find my sweet spot though.

Port replacement surgery, take 2 tomorrow...

2nd revision surgery scheduled for the 23rd of August. That's twice in under 6 months. I just want it fixed.

Leaky port? Check. Revision to replace leaky port? Check. Port still leaking? Yes, damnit. 2nd replacement port surgery in 2 weeks...

Very little restriction again, after 2 weeks. Went from tight to loose the last two days. I am convinced my band is still leaking.

Back to 8cc and I have to say, I am TIGHT. I hope it loosens a little bit so I can eat a little more than liquid-everything.

Little restriction at 8.5cc, so fill on Friday to take me to 9cc in a 10cc band. Saturday, I have an emergency unfill of 3.5cc. This band can't make up it's mind.

Appt with my dr today, going to ask for him to check the fill levels. If I'm still leaking, I'm not sure what I will do next...

Well if this band isn't going to work as it should, then I have to do this myself until I figure out what happens next...again. Back on the diet wagon now...sigh.

It's been just over a week of very little restriction, despite apparently having 8.5cc in a 10cc band. Worried something is still leaking. Have put on the 1.5kgs I lost and another kg to boot. One week til I see my Dr again. We're going to have a proper chat about this.

I went to dinner last night and easily ate chicken breast and rice. Worried I'm losing restriction. Argh!

No fill today. Turns out I lost 1.5kgs in a week without realising! Next appt in 3 weeks to see if I'm still losing. He wanted to take fill OUT because of how much I lost this week. I think all the patients in the waiting room heard me bark out 'NOOOO!'

Restriction has been steady the last 3 days so I am now pretty sure my dr's fixed the leak. But I think I need a small fill still. At 8.5cc in a 10cc band, I hope I'm not far off my sweet spot. Not much more room in there!

I seem to be losing restriction. I have 8.5cc in a 10cc band and I have been able to eat in the mornings in the last few days, and can eat bread and rice today. Worried.

If today is typical, then OMG I have restriction again. Not too tight, not too loose, but PERFECT. Please please please stay like this!

3rd post port revision fill of 3cc, taking me to 8.5cc in a 10cc band. It was my previous max fill so I am definitely feeling it now! Just wondering if maybe it's too much?

3rd post op visit with my surgeon today. Alien Baby Belly is actually behaving (typical!) and I hope I get a nice big fill today. I need it!

Aaaaand Alien Baby Belly has returned. I look about 5 months pregnant. WTF??

5.5cc in a 10cc band now. Still very little restriction. Next fill appointment is Friday.

Next fill is this Friday. I am seriously sick of not having enough restriction. I am going to be a pain in my dr's ass until I get back into the green zone.

Back at work after my unplanned week off and am feeling fuzzy brained and tired. And the catching up I have to do is daunting. But my band is fixed, so that's my silver lining!

Got semi-stuck on rice tonight. Rice was my first no-go-anymore food the first time round, but this time it's happened much earlier, with much less fill in. o_O

Alien Baby Belly is GONE, it's GONE!!!

Alien Baby Belly is still remaining relatively small compared to the last few days. I may be on the mend! Wooohooo!

I have the rest of the week off to nurse my swollen Alien belly. And he gave me a fill, so have 5cc in my 10cc band now. Still not much restriction though!
