First of all I wish this site was user friendly. I can't seem to work it very well.
Last week I got an adjustment and I didn't think it was to was tight, but really didn't want it to be to tight.
I had to go see Dr. Allen today to get some of the fluids taken out so I could eat and drink. In five days, I lost another six lbs. So there was my sign that it was to tight.
I now have lost 109 lbs. I just didn't want to admit it to myself.
I will just have to see where I go from here now.
Hello,
It's been along time since I have been on the site. Life has been happening.
I am going to upload some new pics soon.
It's been almost 2 years since my surgery and I have lost 103 lbs., about 40 more lbs to go.
When I think about the journey, I can't believe it, WOW! I never thought I would get to this point.

Hello All,
I went to see Dr. Allen today and I have lost 27 pounds in two months. I recieved my first adjustment and WOW it felt so weird. It really didn't hurt, but filling the port moved around inside, that was weird.
My port area is a bit sore. Is it suppose to feel that way afterwards? They told me fluids for the next 48 hours, man, I am already hungry just thinking about no food.:frown: Anyway, I guess I will be just fine.

Hello All,
Well, I finally got the internet back so I could keep in touch with you all and get some support and see how everyone is doing.
It's been 2 months and I have not had a tighten yet. Is that usually? My doctor said that since I am losing weight he doesn't want to tighten the band just yet. It's a bit scary for one that loves to eat.
I have lost 20 pounds in my first month, but I go back to the doctor this Thursday and I can't wait to see what the scales tells me. I only get weighed when I go see the doctor. Everyone keeps asking me how much have you lost now. I am trying not to get scale crazy. Just trying to do the correct thing. Eat small amounts and exercise. And let my clothes talk to me.
Talk to ya soon :smile:
