A Small Slip Up And 10 Pounds??
just a update.. for all you peeps, after my unfill I gained 6 pounds, My doc was reaay proud, he expected 15 with a month unfilled The great news is I feel wonderful inside!! and my 2 weeks of liquids has let my tummy shrink back down and fix itself!! I went back for a fill and had 1.5 in. ( almost 1 cc less then before) and my restriction is perfect!! no heart burn, and i can sleep, and Im eating way less!! im looking forward to my weigh in this week, to see how those 6 pounds go away and get on the road to the last 30!! Moral of the story.. IF YOUR READING THIS BECAUSE YOU HAVE HEARTBURN, REFLX COUGHING UNABLE TO LIE DOWN.. go to your doc, its time to get unfilled and get set right back on track !! dont be foolish like me!! and suffer becasue you dont wait to fail, or have to start over!! Im better now then I have been in months! Thanks!!

Will we ever be happy? ( compression garments)
Ok here is the deal, im a happy person, I love life and all its great adventures. So if you asked me if I was happy when I was 284 pounds, I was, and I would have never though I would be saying this but now almost 100 pounds down, and a size 16 ( god thats weird) Im really furstrated about home my body looks in clothes.. I have too much " hanging around" my middle . so when I wear pants that fit, then I get a huge tire right aboove my belt, and it looks teriable in anything that is not baggy.. Im to a point where I know PS is the route , but I really want to hang in there to loose abnout 30 more pounds.. So the readers Digest version.. any experinced simi skinny people ( i made that word up) that have had the same issue? what did you find that was confortable? and not too ulgy.. I just cringe at the though of gidles and such, there soo unsexy! Of course its just me , and my DH would love me no matter what.. :pray2: I have thought about spanks, and just shaping panty hose, but I wanted insite from you guys! Thanks

A Small Slip Up And 10 Pounds??
Well I can tell you from experince.. that waiting is a foolish and silly thing,, I waited and suffered for over 5 months with terriable reflux,coughing all night from acid in my throat. taking tons of heart burn meds , not eating after 5 pm.. and having very slow weight loss.. and all I had to do was go see my Doc.. I was so worried that he would take all my Fluid and I would have to start all over... Well that is exactly what happened.. and I have been free of all my porblems and it has been wonderful. Letting out all the fluid from my band and staying on a liquid/ soft diet lets the streched part of the stomach.. slip back down to the bottom side of the band where it belongs,, and after a couple of fills ( getting one today) I should be back at my 4 oz pouch.. insted of my streched 6-8 ounce pouch.. and my weight loss will be better and faster. Moral of the story ,,, go to the Doctor,, dont suffer..

A Small Slip Up And 10 Pounds??
:mad:Well at 1 year and 8 months , I can say Im normal..and normal people slip up and get complacent and so I admit yes I was eating more then 4 oz, and then 6 and 8.. sometimes more.. and in the last 6 months I have had terriable hearburn that has truned into reflus, that has lead to sleepless night , with acid comming back up and vomiting.. so off to the Dr I go with my stubborn, complacent and almost normal sized butt,, I am at 194 with 14 pounds to go to goal , my doctor higly suggested taking all of my precious Fluid out do to the reflux and complaications I was having, from a streched pouch..as Im lieing there crying,,:think he tell me not to get discouraged if I GAIN weight over the next 3 weeks.. Its my goal to stay in onderland, but he said 10 pounds is normal.. so for now a minor set back.. good news though He tells me after all things have gone back and I get a new fill that it should be easier for me to lose weight dut to a normal smaller pouch 4oz insted of the streched one I Have now,, so I am excited and hopefull!! :clap2:
