cdnjenn, welcome to blogging. It helps so much get your feelings out into words, and to an empathetic group! I was banded June 4, and I still have an incision that is draining just a tiny bit, but it is aggrevating.

I hope you find a clinic fast, because our fill is going to be our saving grace!

Well I found a clinic in Kansas City. First fill. 400 bucks then 250 each fill afterwards.

I go in June 22nd at noon. I do admit I am pretty excited.

I have been pretty hungry lately and have been eating some bad stuff...sweets and FF. I have up-ed my exercise to 3 times a week and started some weights this week. I feel great.

I had my 40th Birthday on the 19th and I really feel that I am going to have an amazing year.

My incisions have all healed well. My yeast infections are gone. I have way more energy than before and I don't sleep in!!!

I hope my positive attitude will help me attain good results.

I am getting ready to start planning our family vacation skiing and I am hoping to be a lot lighter on my skis. Last year my knees really hurt.

I have had a hard time coming up with good strong burps...just small ones that trickle up and a few good ones. Sometimes they hurt where the band is.

That is it for now . I will update after the 1st fill.
