I feel like I have been gone FOREVER! So much Sh*# has been going on in my life for the last couple of months.

August--Very sick, Pain, throwing up.

September-- Still sick, Losts of testing done at hospital, 5cc removed from band. Didn't help! It's the Gall Bladder. Get it taken out on September 15th. Think everything will be better after healed from surgery.

Get refilled to 5ccs again. Too tight get one taken out. Then I get a Terrible head cold that turnes into a bad sinus infection and ear infection. Band starts to tighten up so I can't eat. I start thinking that I have a slipped band or something. Then on October 15th my Mother falls and breaks her hip. So off to surgery she goes. She is home now but in a lot of pain and needs lots of help and tlc. We have home nurses comeing in and helping us a couple of times a week. They are wonderful!!!!!!

CAN'T EAT AT ALL! I go for about a week and a half with very little food and throwing up a lot. Then I can't even get water down. I go to see my surgeon and have an upper GI, blood work and lots of other tests done.

BAND IS JUST FINE!!!! I was super dehydrated so they gave me 2 bags of IV fluid before I left and took out all but 1cc from my band. My numbers on being malnurished were droping so he told me to not count calories this week. Eat whatever I wanted but don't over do it. It's been fun.:hungry: My surgeon said that my band tightened up because of me being so sick for so long. I will get a fill again in about a month. My goal is to lose some weight without help from my band. (crossing fingers)

I'm feeling GREAT now so I hope to be here more often. I really need you guys and your support!!

Thanks for listening. :kiss2: :kiss2:

Welcome back Terri! It's good to see you posting again! Sounds like you have had a tough time of it lately. Glad to see you have such a good attitude about it all.

Welcome back to LBT!

Welcome back! Boy, you sure had a tough time, glad you are doing better now!

Hi Terri! Glkad to hear you're on the road to recovery and that your band is fine! That sounds a lot like the roller-coaster I was on back in February/March of this year. Take care of yourself and heal up! :biggrin1:

My word, Terri, you have had it tough! I'm sorry to hear about all this. Here's hoping for a no-drama, quiet, and happy holiday season! Take care of yourself.

Hi, Terri! I hate to hear about all the hard times you have been going through...sometimes there is just no escaping some of the scary rides! You are very strong and have handled it all well, it sounds like! Glad you checked in and asked for a little shoulder time! Yes, many of us are still here!

Hugs, Cindy

Wow Terri,

Hang in there. Maybe everything will level off now. Wow, you are tough. You have made it through this far, it will be a cake walk from here on.

Ok, maybe I am wishing, but it doesn't hurt to wish right?!

Take care Terri, I wish you the best.

Welcome back. Glad things are starting to look up. Years from now, you will look back and think that this was one of those times that taught you your true inner strength. Celeste

You all are the BEST!! Thank you so much!

I started back on my counting calories today but I didn't get on the scale. Way to scary after the week of eating I just had. :thankyou:

Terry, so glad your doing better, what a ride you had! Take care of your self! Hope your mom is better too.

welcome home!
