Boo Boo Kitty's PS Journey

This morning Brandy had to go back to the hospital. She hasn't been able to get any food or Water down and is spitting up stomach acid/vile and choking on it. I asked her if they even did a barium swallow yesterday after surgery, and she said no, they didn't. Which is odd, since I figured most doctors did this after any type of surgery having to do with the band. Usually when this happens it's a slip of some sort.. as I hear more, I'll keep you all informed. Please say prayers for Brandy to get through this well and that there aren't too many complications..

I have a feeling that they pulled her band down and caused it to slip when they replaced the port. I think that this what happened to me and why I had to have my band replaced. I had my port changed to a lower profile one after a TT. I know how badly she is feeling and my heart goes out to her! BBK you are in my prayers today!

If ever there is a Lapband SuperHero, it has to be you BBK, after all you´ve been thru. Hope they were able to help your choking problem.

BBK - How are you feeling today?

I'm worried about the choking sensation you mentioned. Please let us know everything is alright.

Oh, and I'm jealous, I don't envy all the problems you have had but I'd love to have a port (or a band) in a shadow box.

Hey all

Thanks to my girl Crystal for letting ya'll know how I am doing.

Well after much deliberation, called Inamed and consulting with everyone on the book, they decided that I have slipped and are treating me as such, I couldn't get the barium down at all today. SO I am now completely empty. I am broken hearted and scared to death. I will be in resting mode for 4-6 weeks. They are hoping it was caught so fast that it can heal.

They had to access by the new port and the new incisions. SO I feel horrible there. BUT I am no longer chocking, but night time is the rest test they said.

I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER that I am hot as hell, lol....not that I have a big head but it is the only way I can get through this....ugh...

Bad news is now I am underweight, so putting on a bit won't hurt me during the rest. They want me to gain 5-10. MAN oh man, what a change!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
