Hello, after being so excited about getting my second fill on Tuesday, I am so disappointed. I saw Dr. Eddie Gomez in Coral Gables, Fl (man, he is so fine!!) on Tuesday and he removed about .5 cc's from my band (I had 1 cc's in Jan., wonder what happened to the rest???) Well anyways, my port is flipped (he said I will eventually need to get it stitched back into place), but luckily he was able to do the fill, he played with the amount of liquid to get it just right and we thought he found it at 1.25 cc's, but it has been two full days and I don't have any restriction. I have called and they are going to fill me again next Tuesday. I was really looking forward to losing more weight, I have been at this weight for over a month, and it stinks. I WANT TO GET SKINNY!!!

Oh well, I hope it goes better for me on Tuesday. I do have to say that Dr. Gomez was great, very personable and very, very good looking. Makes a girl nervous to have such a good looking guy pinching her fat. LOL

Ladiebird makes a very good point, Estela. People with less to lose definitely lose it less quickly. You're making great progress!!

Bummer!!! Well, Wednesday will be here before you know it. I am going for a new fill Friday morning.

Estalla, are you a stress eater? I know that when I feel stress I eat more. How about pampering yourself a little more, maybe a relaxing bubble bath?

Thank you all for your encouragement, I know that this is a slow process, but it just gets frustrating sometimes.

Blossom, you hit it right on the spot. Yes, I am a stress eater, and I have been having a rough couple of weeks. With working full time and having three kids, two of which are toddlers it is not easy. And my marital problems add to the stress level. If I could have a full time nanny and a full time housekeeper I think it would be easier on me. LOL -Don't we all wish for that??? Well I have to wait for my fill next Wed., meanwhile I will try to get a hold of myself and not be eating like I have been.

Thank you all for being so caring.

Oh Alex, I so agree about the overfill. If I don't get through today without pbing then I'm getting some taken out tomorrow. I've been telling myself it's just swelling or I didn't chew enough, but when I can't do chili something's not right, especially after the sun goes down. It seems more restricted at night, how weird is that? I can't even get my Protein to stay down. I feel great, but I don't want to make myself sick or start losing hair. Pretty bad when a milk shake comes back.

I'm sorry Estela, I didn't mean to hog your thread, but I'm just saying too filled is not good either.

Blossom, you're so patient I'd be so depressed, you've got a good positive attitude, I admire that.

No problem. Just glad that to get all the encouragement and advice from all of you.
