first timer

this is my first time blogging, I was banded 6-25-08. i have lost 190 pounds, my h1c is5.3, i am a rare case because I was 582lbs at the time of my sugery,walked with a cane and carried an oxygen pack with me, have high blood pressure, anixiet and depressions, most doc would not have done the procedure because i was to big, i spent 8hrs on the table, that my kidneys stared to fail,I woke up on a ventalator with a trec in my neck spent almost 1 month in the hospital. now this may sound like a nightmare but I have no regrets because, i no longer take my diabetic meds, i am more out going and socialable, to anyone who is thinking about this go for it will be worth in the long run

HAPPY TO BE BANDED

HAPPY TO BE BANDED A FEW WEEKS AGO WAS MY FIRST TIME EVER BLOGGING, SINCE HERE IS THE REST OF MY STORY SINCE BEING BANDED 6-25-08, I HAD A TREC FOR ALMOST 1 YR IT WAS REALLY FRUSTRATING AND INTERFEARING WITH MY WORKOUTS AND SOME FOODS I ATE WOULD GET HUNG UP. I LEARND MY SIGNALS FOR ME BEING FULL WAS I WOULD BURP OR HICCUP, SO EVER TIME MY FAMILY HEARD THIS THEY NEW I WAS FULL. I ENJOYING COOKING ON THE GRILL I NEVER FRIED MY MEATS ALWASY BAKED BROILED OR GRILLED, I ALSO WOULD SLOW COOK MY MEAT IN MY SMOKER, LIKE RIBS PORK SHOULDER BRISKET AND CHICKEN AND TURKEYS, HAD NO PROBLEMS EATING THIS MEAT JUST WAITED FOR ME TO BURP AND I WAS FULL, I ALSO HAVE ALLERGIES THAT WOULD DRAIN DOWN MY THROAT AND I HAVE SLEEP APTHEA I WEAR A MASK AT NITE THIS WOULD CLOG UP AND MAKE ME THROW UP MY GAG REFELX IS VERY BAD I THROW UPEASLIY I HAVE HAD TO RESET MY BAND TWICE BECAUSE I THREW IT UP THREW MY STOMACH MY DOC MOVE THE BAND HIGHER ABOVE MY STOMACH AND ALL MY SIGNS HAVE CHANGED I NOW COUGH UP A LITTLE CLEAR MUCUS WHN I AM FULL AND CANT FEEL ANY RESTRICTION WHEN I EAT I HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL NOW WITH WHAT I EAT AND HOW MUCH CAUSE I CANT DEPEND ON THE BAND TO TELL ME TO STOP. I HOPE THIS WILL SOMEONE IN THEIR JOUNREY. AND I STILL HAVE NO REGRETS AND WOULD TELL ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN TO GET THIS PROCEDURE DONE IT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE BUT IT IS WORK,
