Hello All,

Well I have been totally unfilled cause of pouch dilation and so a few weeks ago they said that the pouch returned to normal so they put 3/4 of a CC in my 4cc band. Today I went for a possible fill and GI series well the doctors assistant said that I am filled enough. That any tighter and I would be vomiting. I was a bit dissapointanted cause I don't have as much restriction as i would like and I don't really feel full. He said he is going by what he sees and as I was drinking he saw a little reflux so said no your are tight enough maybe in 2 weeks if it changes. My weight was as low as 156 and now I am 170. I started at 215 and my goal is 140. I don't no what to do, I no what its like to feel that full feeling cause i was 3cc's filled when i had the problems with the pouch stretching. I am not saying i should be filled to 3cc's but maybe at least 1cc would be nice. I should really start to exercise and i just made a nutritional appointment so hope that will help. I am so scared of my weight going back up i am sure you all can relate to that.

Anyway any advice would be kind and I appreciate you all just being there to listen, Thanks for the support.

Cheryl

Hey cherg! How's it going?

I just went back on Thursday and got another .5 cc's. I am not as tight as I was before when I had to get unfilled, but at 1.5 cc... I think I am liking where I am at.

I hope things are going good for you. YES, I know how bad it sucks to gain weight after an unfill. I gained close to 20 pounds I believe. Now, I am only 9 away from my all time low.

You can do this. As always... PM me if you need anything!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
