Slipped Band

Hi all my fellow Nymphs

I went for my barium meal this morning (my time) and the xray dr said my band has slipped. I think it is only a slight slip but I'm not sure what that means. I am waiting to hear back from my dr's office to find out what my next move is. Naturally I am very sad about this. I knew I couldn't be eating the amount I was with such a large fill without something being wrong. At least I know now. :o I will keep you posted on what the dr says.

cheers

Sades

Is Tahiti in the middle? Ha, ha!

I think you need a list of where the people that are willing ( Have time etc) to meet and come up with a middle ground.

I'm in CT!

Anywhere in the northeastern, U.S. is easy for me. I live 1 hr north of N.Y.C. If we were truly planning to meet overseas, I probably could manage it with a lot of notice.

Any update on the band slippage? I hope all is well.

Thanks Donna. It wasn't a slip after all, it was a band placement error. I had it redone on 10 July and so far all is well. I've just finished my 2 weeks of liquids and now onto the mushies stage again. I believe all is good now and hoping that there are no other problems. At least the weight is coming off again! :thumbup:

Ok....Sades...you just live to dang far. However, I have always wanted to go to Australia. I want to see a kangaroo...and a baby kangaroo and of course Koala Bears. I know that I can go to a zoo but down under would be awesome. I also want to go to see Hillsong in Sydney. It is a large church over there that has an awesome music ministry. I am the worship leader at my church and I do a lot of Darlene Z's songs; she is the worship leader for Hillsong. Anyhoo! I digress. I really would love to go to Australia not sure how to pull it off but I can dream..

If we have a few nymphs from the NE, we could at least do a regional meeting unless we have some from the south etc, then we could meet in DC or someplace.

For the NE, I would vote for Boston or someplace where we could plan some sightseeing. We could go Shopping or do a duck tour.

Newport has a lot of great shopping and sightseeing too.

Any other ideas? Tahiti and Australia sound great and really expensive!

Ah Hillsong... I'm not into it but I know there are heaps of people joining every day. My friend's daughter was a member for a few years but she's moved on. I didn't realise they were Australian. Oh well, you live and learn! :lol:

I think you guys might have to meet without me and just send the video. I will have a holiday on my own and send you the video... almost like being there! :scared2:

Australia's not expensive for me... :thumbup: :biggrin2:

No, you're right it's not! I can't even guess how much an airline ticket to AU costs or one from AU to the states! Got to be a lot!

I think a late fall weekend somewhere would be nice!

Hi Sade

How are you doing, I hope you are well.

I'm actually going to be in Rhode Island the last week of August renting a house with the lady we went to the Cape with. I'll only be 25 minutes from Newport. Getting there in the fall would be pretty easy too. If you all would like to plan a fall getaway, I'm up for it!

Sorry, Sades. I would love to meet you too!!

Anyway, going for a fill today. I was able to eat way too much in Cape Cod and did. Put on 3 pounds! It should come right off with a fill and hopefully propel me into Onederland. No way am I changing my ticker to show the weight gain! I hate getting fills. I'm sore for a week and don't feel normal for about a month. I think I'll just stay on liquids and mush until the end of the Summer Meltdown!

Cindy G, What town in RI will you be in? I'll be in Narragansett Aug 29, 30 and 31.

good luck with the fill.

Hi Sade

Thanks Marie. I'm doing pretty well now, it's been 3 weeks already since the 2nd op. I'm on the mushies stage now and have lost some more weight which is great. How are you going with your restriction?

I understand Cindy. You guys have an opportunity to do it much sooner than if we planned something.

And of course, you will come visit me. Hope the fill went well and I am keeping my fingers crossed that you don't have to many issues. I haven't had a fill in almost 3 months and still get stuck daily. I don't know when it will loosen up but I couldn't eat more than 3 bites of breakfast..did alright for lunch and had trouble with dinner. Finally gave up and ate an ice cream sundae...I know it was bad for me but I was hungry and it went down smooth. I've gotta get rid of the ice cream from this house...dang it.

Judy, I will be in Narragansett on Periwinkle Road from 8/23-8/29. I'll be heading home with my son and my cocker spaniel in the afternoon or early evening. We actually have the house until the 30th but hubby and I are seeing Journey that day. It takes me about 3 1/2 hours to get home. Maybe we could meet for lunch before I head out? What time are you arriving?
