thanks for all your concern guys. I went for an upper GI today then to see my doc. I wasnt slipped thank god. but my doc said i was way too tight and swollen and that he was surprised that i'd been able to keep any solid food down at all.He also said it was good that i came in because i was tight enough i was at risk to do some serious damage to my band. So ended up having 1cc of Fluid taken out. He scheduled me to come back in a few weeks. He said he'd see me sooner and take out more if needed or to put back if i started to gain. So all in all i'm pretty happy with my decision to see my doc. I think i did the right thing. i know i've been eating way too many slider foods the last few weeks due to being too tight. So now i wanna take the time to start eating better. if i do things the right way i think i can still cont to lose.And again thanks for all your covcern. Right now i still feel like a bit of an overtired emotional train wreck. But i rhink i'm heading in the right direction.

I went for a reconsult and another seminar last night... UCSD... I am so pleased with the professionalism and the information... great long term team to work with.

Any way I read in some of the material they gave us that Acid reflux could be brought about by an over tight band. I am glad they caught it early and you gave them the opportunity to check you out. I am sure you feel better already.

Hey guys just wanted to update you guys on how the last months been. I am feeling great. No reflux problems at all since the unfill and i've managed not gain back any weight. I really consider myself at goal right now. I'm wearing size medium or even small tops. I'm in a size 6-8 in jeans (mostly 6's!!) my 16 year old daughter and i are now in the same clothes. when i first started this journey i decided i wanted to be a size 10 and consider myself at goal. I honestly didn't think id be able to achieve that. well i've exceeded that. Im starting to adjust more to the image in the mirror. Sometimes I still cant get over the change in me. People refer to me as skinny all the time. my work schedule still sucks but thats just life. i have an apt with my surgeon tomorrow i may do a slight fill maybe just .25cc or .50cc at most. thanks so much for all of your support and concern. All through this journey when no one else understood what i was going through my LBT friends always had my back! thanks so very much

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
