Mandi, I'm so glad you didn't have a slip. Now everything is going to be fine, think positive. Soon you will be back on your way. Hugs.

ahhhh... sweet relief. It's amazing how quickly you feel better. I'm just home right now, snarfing down some yogurt, YES, yogurt! I was taking tiny sips all morning, cause I was soooo thirsty, and after the defill, I drank about half a litre of my bottled Water. It's insane!

Did it with the flouroscope... he was sure it wouldn't work, that it was kinked, and it did LOOK kinked at the end where the tubing comes out of the port. But after a couple tries and flipping me on my side, he saw that it didn't look like he was quite going in. He got a longer needle... a SPINAL tap needle, tried that, flipped me over to see if it looked like it was in the very center of the port, and it was. The second he reattached or tried to reattach the syringe, a bunch of saline spilled out, and then he pulled out about another .5cc... he said about 1cc spilled. I don't care, even if there is a tiny bit left in, I'll find out when I go for my fill, whenever that may be.

They froze me, which was really nice, cause I was sore from all the prodding yesterday. Oh how nice it would be to be flouro-ed everytime. I almost asked if he wanted to do my fills, but thought that might be pushing my luck!

Anyways, I gotta hurry and get to work. I was feeling dizzy when I woke up this morning, and think I almost passed out in the shower... better now. Full of yogurt and water! Mmmmmm... a big Tim Hortons Soup for me for lunch, I think!

Talk to you guys later!

Mandi so glad that you are feeling better. Reading your posts I was so upset for you. I hate not knowing what is wrong with me.

Anyway take it easy and you will have your fills back in no time. I am sure you will do great!

Great news Mandi, i am glad everything worked out okay for you. In a couple of weeks you will be ready for another fill and hopefully back to losing again. Take care.

Thank you gals

I was just browsing around, and found the most bizarre thing in the Australian area of LBT.

Just talked to Dr. C - he said probably a week to 10 days only (for the defill), then I can go back up to 1cc to start.

Hey Mandi, glad you are feeling better. What went wrong to make this happen? Did Dr C. offer any explanation?

About my very slow weight loss. I don't think that I could take any more fill, I'm at 1.8ccs in a 4cc band and the band let's me know it's enough. Breakfast is almost impossible, I can drink coffee and if I'm lucky I can eat yogurt but very slowly. My lunch usually consist of Soup and sometimes more yogurt. Supper is a hit and miss. I try to eat with my husband whatever is made but I can only eat very small portions and about 1/3rd of the time I end up pbing. So my very slow weight loss is not because of what I am eating.

Mandi I did see the picture. So weird. Maybe she is using him as a comparison tool or something.

Very funny!:heh:

Good news about the 10 days. You can do it!

[Yasmina 0]

How weird was that !

[Astrotoes 0]

Hi Mandi,do you or Dr. Cobourn know what happened with the band? Where will you be going for the fill? To Nova Scotia? Hope your feeling stronger.

Mandi, I am having much the same reaction as Cloe. I haven't been around here much and now I am reading up on all the stuff that has been happening to you. The weight loss is fantastic of course! Congratulations from Green. But what a horrible experience to go through! :cry Both you and Dan must have been freaking out. :omg: I am glad that you are feeling better now and I hope you won't have to remain defilled for too long.:girl_hug:
