Stum-belina

Hey Jackie were you in to see Nurse Tina yesturday(2-11-10)? I was in for a fill and there was a lady there that really looked like you in the face. We only met that one time at the support meeting but i was sure that it was you, except if it was you, you have lost alot of weight. I was going to ask, but chickened out. I hadn't been in for a fill in 2 months and had been gaining and losing the same four pounds for 1 month so i figured it was time to face the music. My weight loss would be much better if i'd get my ass moving. Well hope your still doing great. Take Care, April

HI Jackie, Hope your Christmas was great as well. Myjourneyis very slow. I have lost 40 lbs and i have quit counting my fills. I have a 9cc band and noiw have in 7.5 ccs. i think i have had about 8 or 9 fills. I have not hit the sweet spot yet. Starting to wonder if it really exists. Even though it's slow i would not take it out or not have gotten it. Wow 68pounds is alot, you must be doing somethingright. I too have not been exercising. I figure once i quit losing i will get on the exercise band wagon. Well have a happy new year and hang in there.

Yeah, So i'm having trouble wrapping my head around this band as well. I do have restriction, but not sure if i am at my sweet spot, i'd say not since the pounds aren't falling off. This head hunger thing is unreal. I even get pissy when i can't eat what i want to eat. How silly is that? Well, good luck!!!

SOOO? Do you have better restriction after your 3rd fill? I went yesturday for my 5th fill, and my port is were it is suppose to be, so that's a big relief!! I'm not sure why it feels different to me, but it sure does. I'm hoping this fill will put me in the green zone. Hope your doing ok.

I have finally lost 30 lbs, it is slow but atleast i'm losing. Now i can't find my port i use t be able to feel it and now i can't. I hope it's still there and attatched right. I'll find out tomoroow i get my fifth fill. What size band do you have and how many cc's are in it? I have a 9cc band and i have 6 cc's in it.

Hey it's April from the Moberly area.... How are you doing??? Did you go to last months support group meeting in columbia? I went i should have contacted you b/4 i went to see if you were going to be there. I really didn't think it was that great of a meeting. Hope all is going great with you, It's really a ssslllooowww process for me, but i'm hanging in there.

Hi Jackie, It is not painful at all to get a fill. It doesn't take very long either, you spend more time waitin on the doc. I had good restriction the first few days and then not so much after that. I'm not able to eat as much as before the fill, but i'm still eating more than i'm suppose to, atleast it feels like it. I've only lost 1lb since my fill, but i'm not really exercising consistantly either. I go for another fill on 7/14/09, maybe then i'll start losing more weight, atleast i hope anyway. Are you in bandster hell yet? I hope you don't experience it, it sucks. Let me know how you are doing. April

Hi Jackie,

How are you doing? I hope everything went ok. When you feel like it let me how everything went. April

HI Jackie,

Good Luck tomorrow, I'm sure you'll do fine. When they get you back to your recovery room try to get up as soon as you feel you can, it will make a big difference in how you feel. Atleast for me it did. I was really uncomfortable laying there. Once i was up i did not lay back down until i got home. Well good luck again!!!!! April
