long overdue update (MUCH drama)

shortly after my last blog post, i ended up going in to have some of my fill removed. it helped for a short time. in june when my "girly time" arrived, my band ended up getting so tight that i was forced to go to the ER, was admitted and had my band fully emptied the following morning since i couldnt even swallow water.:thumbup:

 

my band has been completely empty since then.

 

i had a small fill yesterday (.6cc) and will be getting very small fills, about once a month, until i am in a good place with my band.

 

i wish my surgeon listened to me. he really doesnt and it has lead to a lot of frustration and trouble that could otherwise have easily been avoided.

 

anyway, after a fill, he insists on liquids for a week and then mushies for a week. kind of extreme, in my opinion but im sticking with it.

 

ive started keeping a food and exercise journal so i can keep track of my calories, eating habits and exercise. so far, so good!:tt2:

I'm sorry you are frustrated. It really seems like every surgeon has their own processes, procedures and rules and its hard to understand what works for you. I hope things go better!

Well, I am glad you are able to keep your band and hope that the small fills work well. Stick to your plan, it sounds like you have your head on straight and are thinking it through - best wishes!
