Welcome home Yasmina

Glad you had an good trip. I went today to Toronto for fill #3. Fricken Air Canada- flight was to leave tbay at 10:40(my apt was for 1:30 and then we were flying back at 4:00pm) Well Got to airport and found out flight was delayed till 12:00, had to change coming back flight,a dn call TLBC to say I will be late.. By the time We got into TO and to clinic it was 3:15, I was so mad and flustered, but Nancy was so cool abou it. In and out and back to airport to come home- got into Tbay around 7:45- I am sooo tired. BTW I saw you in the news paper. Cant wait to chat with you.

Cool,

If you have nothing to do Staurday march 31 , come to the Finlandia Hall and see our show. Let me know and I will leave 2 tickets at the door for you.

My first fill is coming up at TLBC. They told me it is a two hour apt.

What should I expect ?

Does it hurt ? Who does it? I had a stitch poking out, what is with that ? I did not even know that I had any stitches !

Hey Yasmina

I would like to be there if I could but have other arrangements that day..As to your fill- my first one Nancy called after I had already booked my plane ticket and asked if we could change the day I told her No, I already booked my ticket, so when i went I met with Maral for 5 minutes asked me how it was going, gave me a booklet on Bandster eating, how to tell if you need a fill, unfill, stuff like that, then I met with Daryl (Nancy -the fill nurse was away) she took my weight, and then gave me a 5cc fill- It didnt hurt, but was uncomfortable- felt pressure(her pushing down trying to access it i guess), I almost passed out!!But really it doesnt hurt- this was just my nerves. Afterwards (usually fill takes about 10 seconds if that- from time they find port, swab it off and inject and put bandaid on) After that I went to waiting room, sat and sipped a bottle of Water, then left.

As to the 2 hr seminar- I really dont know cause I didnt get one due to Nancy having other plans, but I have heard others say it doesnt take 2 hrs.

Dont worry they are sooo awsome there.:heh:

Hey Yasmina I had a stitch poking out too but when I went to the Dr's for a follow up they just snip it right off and whatever stitches are in the incision just dissolve. Did you get a Dr. to snip your stitch at the follow up?

Well I never really had a follow up. They called to see how things were going and then a day later I went back to Thunder bay.

They did call me at home to see how things were going. On my way back from Egypt I stopped at the clinic to show them my stitch. They took it out. I do not have my first fill until Tuesday. Very excited about that ! What is so weird is that I can feel it !

My incision pussed for four weeks finally got mad and pulled it out myself. Had to do it in two stages first part one day the second the next day. I went to my doc and he said it was just a stitch and to pull it out if I saw it which I did. Doddie

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
