    Firemen with the Band

    I had to wait about 4 weeks. Now the gear I was wearing looked more like a tarp on me then anything. I noticed that my helmet doesn't fit very well but I refuse to give up my new yorker. Plus I kinda fell off the wagon and am getting myself back ontrack.

    working consturction

    I know it's not contruction but I was off for 1 1/2 months from the fire house. They didn't wabt me lifting anymore the 10lbs the first few weeks. Then after that I was upgraded to 20 lbs abd then anything goes.

    Hida scan

    I just got back from my HIDA scan. It was easy. I didn't have any attacks from it or anything. :ohmy: Infact I slept through it. He didn't give me the results just said he was going to send it to my dr. Oh well.

    Hida scan

    my pain usually starts in my back like someone has their hand wrapped around my spine. Then I get a pain in my upper stomach area. Feels like I was kicked in the stomach a few times. I had an ultrsound sound and they found "sludge" in my bladder and need to see if there is any blockage or anything. Not really looking foward to it though.:smile2:

    pains and aches

    I get a pain in back like someone has a grip on my spine and then severe stomach pain just under my ribs like someone has thier hands under there sqeezing. Does anyone know what this could be? My dr told me he doesn't think it has to do with the band but I have never had this since being banded.

    Oh Boy

    I am feeling so much better and have learned a big lesson. I chew chew chew and chew some more. trying to figure it all out is somewhat difficult and am doing good now. I think the pieces I attempted to eat were to big. I haven't had a problem since then and don't plan on any others.

    Oh Boy
