I was able to see my Dr. yesterday. All I needed was an unfill. He removed 1cc and now I can finally eat. I feel better already. YAY!!!

Thanks so much. I just looked at your progress!!! WOW! You are doing great! Im envious, but really happy for you! I hope all I need is an unfill. My last fill was in June and it has since gotten "tighter". I didnt think that was possible. I cant wait for my appointment....YIKES! Thanks again...and congrats on your great begining!

Thank you so much for those encouraging words. I know after today I will feel better and I cant wait to get some energy back. I havent been eating much lately because of being hopefully overfilled. You look great!!! I love the chair in your pic....I need to take a pic in that chair!!! LOL Thanks again!

Hi Everyone..... I am Shannon, mommy of 3, wife to my wonderful hubby for almost 12 years. I live in Ca in the High Desert. I am a SAHM/Realtor. I was banded in March o8 at 247lbs. I went through my insurance and was approved right away. I have UHC. I am 5' 4" and my BMI was 41+. I did pretty good for the most part. My surgeon was Dr S. Lyass and he was wonderful and continues to be. So far today I am down to 200lbs. I feel guilty saying that this is with no added exercise to my daily routine. I need to and will start going to the gym very soon. I need the exercise now for sure. I know my weight loss could have been better had I been exercising all along. Lately I have been having a lot of trouble eating. Actually even drinking. I get the "slimed" thing all the time. I am going in to see the Dr for maybe a slight unfill and also to make sure I do not have an obstruction or slippage. Wish me luck!!! I look forward to learning and sharing with you all. Thanks to all that has read my ramblings...:cursing: Hugs, Shannon:biggrin2:
