Thanks Denise,

I agree quality of life, there is something to be said about that. I was pbing everything. Why do you think it happened, do you think stress or just that the band has a mind of its own? It just started getting tighter and tighter:eek:

Did we know you had an unfill? Sorry if you posted and I didn't catch that. What's the story? How are you now?

Janine

I can't imagine the hurt I'd do if I got an unfill right now, because my will power is at an all time low since being banded. The band is the only thing keeping me from falling off the wagon completely.

Both of you, keep us posted.

Juli

I have eczema---got it as an adult--and it is the type that is triggered by my nervous system---AWESOME (insert major sarcasm!) With the start of school and the the heat in my classroom in Dallas--it was the ingredients needed for a flare up from the utter depths of Satan's colon!

Anywho, because of the swelling of my skin etc.. it only made sense that my insides would swell too. (I had not had a flare up since my surgery) So basically I started Pbing more than usual---throwing up Water and coffee---could continue with it and didn't want a slip, so I went to my doctor and he was going to take out just a bit---well after he took out 1cc they had me drink some Water and I had a little pain (like it was going to come up)--so he decided to side with caution and do a complete unfill. Then I had to go to my GP and get a three week major dose of Steroids--that's right girls--moon pie face medicine!

Major freak-out moment. I was completely deflated until a couple of ago and I got a fill under fluoro (no slip :o) --very conservative--still think I need a little more. But as I was saying before, I don't want to get as much as I was before--just in case of another flare up.

So there was my story--:phanvan

Thick chick.....You have to put your pictures in some online account, ...I use Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket

It's free, you just open an account and download your pics from your computer onto Photobucket, then from there you use the URL from that to copy and paste into your LB profile.

It took me a while to figure it out.

Perhaps someone else can give you more details, I'm no computer whiz.

hope it works for you

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
