Update, Unfill Yet Still A Victory



Recommended Posts

had lapband on 1/24/12, and on 1/19/12 had a partial fill of .25, total of 2.75. Well the rest of the week was miserable, not that I couldn't eat turkey , I couldn't eat anything, 2 olives well chewed and I was full, 10 Beans and I was full , and shortness of breath I was not having a very good quality of life, Dr. did partial unfill of .15. today

When the nurse weighed me and told me number, I was ahh man I gained weight, she's like what are you talking about you lost, 3 1/2 lbs in 8 days.

Through out the whole time, I keep thinking I shouldn't of ate that, oh too much of that, yet here I am lost 70lbs!!

When I hear people complain about weight not lost, I have to sometimes bite my tongue because I know they are not watching what they are eating as well as the amount. I could have started eating sliders when I couldnt eat much but I stuck to spoonfuls of Peanut Butter :P , I will probably gain some weight back but 70 lbs today, this moment... yeah!!!!

Hope everyone else is doing good too!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
