  1. Today I had a fill....

    Or so I thought. I went to my Dr's ofc and after a 45 minute wait, I went back to get my fill. I was superexcited to get back on track. Well, due to my acid reflux I was doing a barium swallow fill, and after he filled me and then stood me up to drink, he ended up UNFILLING me slightly. I can't believe I am paying like 300 for him to take some out! How rude! Grrrr. I don't know what else to say!
  2. Hello again Blog!
     
    So Thursday was my first fill. I discovered I have a 14CC band and he put in 3 cc's the first time. After seeing pictures i was a little freaked out, but just like everyone told me it was pretty smooth. I'm excited to move along in the journey. The fill came just in time as I started getting even hungrier on a daily basis. I know it's not going to help much, but maybe give me a little more control over myself, to know things are moving along. I am now 20 pounds thinner, I went to the gym and picked up a 20 pound weight and that thing was heavy. That was amazing.
  3. 3.5 weeks later

    Alright, so my scar is totally not there. That is pretty exciting, I love that I only got 1 incission and it is inside my belly button.
     
    The first 2 weeks went really well. Last week, not so much. I only lost two pounds (cause I basically weighted myself naked) and I did a good job of sticking to what I am supposed to do. I know 15 pounds is a lot in 3 weeks, but already hitting a plateau, that is depressing.
     
    I feel great, eating is alright, still hungry, but better. I am exercising and being active and I love that. I am just scared, like many others are, that I will be the ONE it does not work for.
     
    OH WELL, I will do my best and pray. Plus, at least my deductable is gone, no more medical bills for 2009!!!
  4. Just banded 3/6/9

    So, I got banded on Friday. Everything went super smooth and I haven't even had to use my pain medication except for 2 times. The hardest part for me is being hungry. Seems like life revolves around food sometimes. Then, my mom asks if she can eat in front of me, like people are not going to eat in front of me ALL THE TIME! I might as well get used to it. I just have some pain in my left stomache, but the hardest thing is finding the control that I didn't have before. And the gas. That sucks to. Anyway, this is my first blog ever, so I guess that's enough.
