  1. You need a ticker Green. Good work. How much have you loss altogether.
  2. I go to Scarb.Grace Hosp. tomorrow for a flouro. Yoda does Dr. Yau do it himself.? I phoned Kathy at 8'30 this morning and she told me to go there for 11' tomorrow. We have to rule out if it is band related.Now hope the weather stays nice. I will keep you posted.
  3. The pain goes to my back between shoulder blades. Actually it feels like a neart attack. So much pressure on chest and back.
  4. Update. I still don't feel very good.Went back to hospital today as i have constant pain is my stomach. I can't eat or drink anything without bad pain.I felt this pain for 1.5 weeks The dr.thinks it might be gallbladder.I have to go for ultrasound within 2 days. If it is my gallbladder do i have to have a total defill.? Does Dr.Joffee takes gallbladders out. I am nervous if someone does it and screws my band?
  5. How are you feeling today Doriana ?
  6. Your stomach is probably irratiated . I had a defill on Thurs. I went on liquids for a few days. I took a few chewable Tums. I think time and patience is in order now .
  7. Welcome Rosi. This is the start of your journey. This is a great and friendly site for information.

  9. Good luck Bluegem, You will do fine.Remember everyday gets better,
  10. Thanks everyone.Iwasn't going to say anything but i find it is important for people to know you can have a few bumps on this journey. This is not band related. I just hope i didn't do any damage.Cloe if i need to have a fill in a few weeks Nancy said to come back. I have awesome restriction now but i know it won"t last. It is because of the swelling. I thought it was cause from STRESS (a little bit) 18 year old son grrr. Love -hate relationship. I wish you could skip 13 till23yrs old.haha, oh well must go .
  11. Enjoy your trip Yasmina ,How long are you going to Egypt?
  12. I will get on the challenge too. To lose 10 lbs and to go to aquafit 3 x a week.
  13. I came down with a viral infection in my intestines on sun or mon. The swelling was probably irritated my band. Couldn't eat or drink for 3 days. I kept vomiting. I couldn't even take my pills .I phoned Nancy today to ask for a defill. I went at 1' 00 today. What a relief. Nancy took 2 cc out.I was so glad she left some in.(3.5). I was kind of hoping for a 6 inch sub Mandi tomorrow lol. That was my excitment for a few days.On our way home i drank 2 bottles of water and a med.frosty mmmm. I am down 195 now. i met my goal ;not a healthy way tho.:speechles
