hey guys,
it's been a while since i updated.. so, i finally got my insurance back in september. I saw a new fill Dr closer to home and with better technology. This Dr. (Dr. Mehta) has an x-ray machine that can see inside in real time. I had to drink that chalky crap and we saw the fluids go through my system.. it got to my pouch and filled up the pouch, drained some..then some stayed in the bottom of the pouch which appeared to be stretched and sagging over the band. So Dr. ended up removing the 5CC's i had and put me liquids for 5 days so the pouch can shrink. well this all took place mid october so now i am back to eating normal food. Now, i see the difference. I can eat so much more, and I get hungry a lot more as well.. I have to go back in a few weeks for a followup and hope I get my restriction back. Dr. couldn't tell if I stretched or slipped. i don't know what to expect in a few weeks.. but i do know this is very hard to control amounts... the good news is, I am still going to the gym..so I am not gaining back.. :thumbup: Has this happen to anyone?
thanks!
