When I had my band placed, Dr. K found tumors on my liver...I went and had them looked at and the Dr. wanted a CT scan done....well he called and said that the radiologist at Rose said that my band had slipped, but I was not having any symptoms. I had a copy of the disc made and had Dr. K take a peek at it. He said it is tilted, although not slipped. And since there are no symptoms, not to worry...but the way I was puking with the flu, I am SO happy that I was unfilled, I think it could have been ugly!

thanks for answering the question. I always wonder if there will be symptoms to tell us when there is a problem with our band.

Congratulations on the losses everyone. Great job with the minor flux in weight gain, could have been steeper (think of our history beforeWLS).

MissMom - I'm glad you weren't filled as well. Ack!

Prty- I have read indications there are problems were things like overeating, not able to eat, pain in that area of the stomach, difficulty swallowing, reflux, ...

Glad that CT scan was checked by doctor K. I wish he could do my two hernias. He's a great surgeon. My scars are so minor and my recovery was so quick.

*speaking of hernias, I had a CT done of my stomach. I was pushing 400 at one point so I have wondered if there was any 'damage' done to my abdomen for bearing all that weight. Found out I do have a herniated navel deep inside that I will notice more and more as the weight comes off my stomach. Right now I'm thinking and have been that nothing I ate was ever worth a herniated navel.

Shelbi~so so sorry to hear about your loss. Barkley was very fortunate to have a loving pack leader, he will be greatly missed. Buster sends snuggly hugs! A BIG WELCOME to Wilson, he has found the best forever home, bless you!

Sounds like you had a Christmas to remember with your Pops, we ended up singing everything BUT Christmas songs at my house (don't know why??), we even rapped!!! Our friend that is paralyzed was able to come over and spend Christmas Eve with us, we had a wonderful time!

Lap~hey girl! WOW, congrats on the 18's! You look GREAT! How is the baby?

Happy New Year Banditos! Will I see a size 9 in 2009??

[MissMom24 2]

Yes, yes you will Mal!!!

Yes, yes you will Mal!!!

Hey, I think "size 9 in '09" would be a great motto for me! Mal, do you mind if I join you in this Quest? I would be thrilled to be a size nine.

[jmegirl 2]

Hey, I'm likin' your vision!!!

[Amethystjade 1]

lol you all are great! Hmm size 9 in 2009... I'm a size 18 now.. I hope I can get that small by 2010!

I can't wait for when you girls start a new challenge...So count me in for that..

On the other hand.. I've had a lot of air bubbles lately when I've been eating.. If I'm explaining that right.. It worries me, because I don't remember having them a few months ago.. I've also been extremely backed up lately so I am hoping it that..

I need to learn how to eat better, because my fill on monday is going to make it so I dont have much leeway on messing up... I can't wait to meet you all next thursday.. (well those of you that can make it!) I'm really excited.. If I'm staring at you all when your eating I'm sorry.. Im just trying to learn better..

I'm not sure If I should worry.. though a slippage or tilt is always in the front of my mind at the slightest pain.. dang worry wart.

Well, I'm off soon to a step and then spin class... woot!
