So, today I had my first fill in four years. I wasn't sure if I would get one or not, whether I needed one or not. But my LPN said it can't hurt since my band is flatter than a flat tire anyway. She gave me a teeny weeny fill, all I wanted. I think she said it was a 1/2 cc.

I got up on the table, did what I always had done, raised my straight legs to tighten my tummy to help my LPN find the spot. Only, I told her my port was on my left side. So, I raised my legs, she poked and prodded but couldn't find my port! My legs and tummy tired from lifting them. She was stumped. She said, "I'm going to see if it's not on the other side." And, to my embarrassment, she found it on the right side, not the left where I thought it was! It was on my "other" left, doh! We laughed, I got my first fill since forever. I feel like a newbie!

My first time on liquids, pureed and soft foods in 5 years....feels weird. Now I suddenly want what I cannot have. Oh well.

And, I recovered very well from my little destructive eating pattern I put myself into. Thanks to therapy, 12 steps and all of YOU!

Way to go, YOU!

Great news!!! Welcome back to band world.

Thanks for the laugh too!!

Great post. Welcome bsck!

Woohoo, she's back and as bad as ever!

When I say bad, it means good.

Best wishes on your new journey!

As you get "older" we all have two lefts. Glad you are back and ready again.

My other left gets me every time too! Great story, love it. :-)

Aww, you guys are so cool to welcome me back like that! :wub:

I couldn't have made it through my sabotage phase without you all, I really mean that! Now I feel I'm back in the band life even more because I got "in touch" with my band. It seems more real now. I must sound silly. I was doing pretty darned well for the past three months (minus my "phase") with changing my lifestyle, eating healthier, etc.

Ready, On your mark, Get set....Gooooooooo

New life with my LBT family!

Welcome back to the band world...hope your journey is smooth!
