Wouldn't you know it, a day before a fill my band decides to make itself known again! I think it knows what's up tomorrow and just wanted to remind me that even though I haven't been able to feel much restriction lately it's still in there. Were its little silicone feelings hurt?

Today at lunch I had one piece of seaweed go down the wrong way, and holy cow, NOW I remember what PBing is all about! I haven't done it in a couple of months, not really, but today I had to actually leave the building and try to walk it off. Didn't work, so I went into the library and was able to rid myself of the offending piece. YUCK!!

So maybe I don't need to be tighter. :cool: But I do need a kick in the pants about eating, and now I'll be happy for the fluoroscopic look at things. (This was a pretty bad episode, I'm afraid.)

9 months out, and the band can still surprise me...

Hi Glitz,

I would have been worried about getting a fill after that awful PB, but my doctor uses fluoro so I knew he'd be able to see what was enough. I got the fill and everything was fine.

But now you've made me wonder about something! This fill seemed to have never been as tight as I'd had before, and now I'm thinking that the PB I had the day before might have rendered me a little swollen that day. Maybe I never did have the restriction I would otherwise have had? Hmmm....that would explain a lot, actually.

Think, think, think...

That is funny about the seaweed. I love sushi and don't hesitate to eat it when its around. I also can eat poptarts (if I am inclined to) and most breads, pasta, rice and tortillas. The problem is my chewing. Anything can give me a problem if it isn't chewed well enough. Best of luck to you all, Teresa

Alex,

Funny you should bring this up....I was just thinking "Gee....I might need a fill.... I can eat almost anything I want" Until tonight of course.....when if allowed to....I would have eaten myself into a carbohydrate slumber! My old trusted friend Pasta and marinara sauce showed up (Ok....so I cooked it) and 3 bites into it the old golf ball reminded me......screamed at me....."NOT SO FAST!" Literally....my old eating habits reappeared as If they never missed a beat as I attempted to scoff down a healthy size bowl of pasta, sauce and assorted meats with more cheese than one cow could have provided!

How quickly one can revert to one's old eating habits.....if it weren't for my not so new and trusted friend.....the band!

I dont need a fill just yet......I need to continue on the path I was on before I got detoured....or lured away by old habits that will never go quietly, that are always lurking in the shadows! Thankfully.....my band is always one step ahead! I love it!
