I have an appt on the 30th I think and if they didn't cancel it, im going in and if they did, I am calling after next week, this is insane, At least you have an excuse Rain, and even then u only gained 20lbs since december, I gained this in a week:scared2::scared2::scared2: help, I need a fill......

My fill appt is the 21 of april!!!!!

Really Val, your too tight, dont u just have 2 cc's? wow, I hope I can get 2 cc's and be good. He says every fill and unfill is different, you can be loose with 5 cc one time and tight with 3 the next and now that my band has been moved it may be totally different this time around, I just hope I dont have all the problems I had last time....whats going on with u val, do u work, is that what is going on? :unsure: hope all gets better...

Wow Val, you sound urgent! when did all this happen, was it sudden? Maybe your just irritated, do fluids go down ok? I wouldn't wait till tues. if your symptoms get worse or you feel it is unbearable, thats what i did and even though your band is ok, don't put yourself thru it. I will check your post later, doing a craft show till 3 pm.. call my cell if u need to 507-3636...hang in there.:) How's your dad doing?

hello ladies...sorry I haven't posted in awhile... It's been very frustrating to say the least.

I had my appt with Dr. Pham and was sooo happy and relieved with the way the office worked and the staff. I was in and out in an hour and everyone was beyond accommodating. A huge difference from the way I was treated at buff gen. Anyhow, I had to have a gallbladder u/s to rule out stones and will have my surgery the end of April. I wish I had gone this route from the start.

I am still dealing and processing what happened to me with dr. posner. I still can't believe no phone calls returned, even after several were left with his secretary.

Anyhow...hope to be on my way!

      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!!
