slim, did something happen to make you leave?

There was just some ugliness that, although I wasn't really a part of what happened, it has made me look at this site a little differently. I am sure I will still come here. Just not as much. It just isn't feeling the same for me right now...

I have to come back because I care very much about all of you!

Carrie_C · September 29, 2009

I know what you mean. I don't come here as much anymore either.

I only come to this thread and sometimes the Men's Room - what thread or place are y'all talking about?

punkster · October 1, 2009

I havent been coming here as much just because no one else has been posting much. I really do miss talking to you all, also. I have been using twitter for my online support for a few months but there are a lot more rny people over there than bandsters. you are welcome to join me if you want. i would love more bandster support. you can choose who you follow and read and who can read what you post. i have enjoyed it and made some online friends. if you dont like what someone is posting you can just unfollow.

missing you slim, carrie, and corliss.

Not one in particular, I just try to stay out of the debate area. I like coming here, but I have just been too busy to do anything.

Hi everyone. I miss you too punkster. I just will have to see how I feel after a little while.

I have my one year (it's late) follow up and an adjustment scheduled for Oct 12. Anyone else have an appointment that afternoon?

Thanks punkster. I think it went ok. It was a little strange. There was only one other person there. I have never been there with that few people. Then they didn't do my fill under the scope. That was a first for me with GBI. Brooke just said that she thinks I have been doing ok with the amount that she has been putting in so she decided to just put that amount in again. I guess we shall see what happens.

cmexlr8-I hope this is the one for your.

Carrie_C · October 13, 2009

I have had fill appointments where I am the only one there! But I think that's how it usually is when Brooke does them. I think I have enough restriction, I just need to start back exercising. Ever since my endometriosis surgey, I haven't been motivated to start back yet. But I know that's the only way I am going to get the rest of the weight off.

Corliss · October 13, 2009

I think I will go ahead and call for an apt for next week. I definately don't have much restriction at all. I have pb'd on fresh pineapple so I know I have some. I am low carbing now to try to take a little off, but i am not optimistic about staying with it long enough to seriously help. Dr. Sass had mentioned taking a bit out if I needed it without fluoro but I am to scared of a puncture since I am self pay to let anyone near me with a huber without fluoro. So I will just have to get another dose of radiation I guess.:thumbup: Mine are all self pay so I hope this is the last one I need for a long time. I have been under a load of stress lately and thought I might tighten up, but if I have it is not significant.

I had my "third" fill about a week ago and have had some restriction. not much if any pbing. i am definitely trying to limit rice, Pasta, and bread mostly because i feel that they will come back up. i am also trying to limit sweets. taking it one day at a time but doing well. glad everyone is doing good.

I have had appointments recently where I was the only one there and Ponce was there also. i have also been when i had a 2 hour wait. I think it comes and goes.

I went to the appt yesterday and was pleasantly suprised - I lost 13 lbs. I don't know what has changed. I feel like I am eating too much and too often, but I'll take it. This is the first fill where I can actually feel liquid pass slow. I cannot just guzzle Water or gatorade like I usually do - it backs up and slowly dissipates. I ate scrambled eggs this morning(about two hours ago) and I still fill 'full' - I say that in quotes because it feels like its in my throat so it feels different than full - maybe thats the way it supposed to be? If this is restriction, then so be it. I am glad I finally have it.
