Finally Friday Nov. 5th....Oh how I've been waiting for this day. I go in for my first fill today, since surgery for my Slippage on 9/21/10. I'm hoping for a full release back to my excercise program and to get back on track. I am trying my hardest to not focus on the scale right now...as I know I have gained a little during all of this. Not to worry...those pound will be a memory very soon. I've managed to bounce back and forth for the last 6 weeks by about 5lbs...which tells me a little something about myself. I really need this tool to stay successful. Also for some of you who can do this without excercise, I cannot...it has been the key to my continued loss. I've had to fight for every pound and this has not been easy. Prior to my slip...my sweet spot was 5.9cc's, I can't help but wonder how different its going to be this time. The placement of the band seems to be great, and I can eat a little bit of rice and chicken...two foods that were on the "devils" list for me before...bread is still not my friend, and that is OK! I also wonder what amount of a fill I will get. I will update this blog after my appt. today. Anyways I'm so excited and wanted to share with everyone who has been following my progress the past 6 weeks. I also wanted to thank all of you for your continued support and just for listening when Im' complaining and just needed to vent.

 

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION! :cursing:

I hope this fill turns out to be the one that leads you back to your sweet spot. Bread is not my friend either, but it's funny I don't really miss it. Good Luck!

My fill went off without a problem....yay for soft handed Doctors. My First fill this time....2.5cc's. He did say that I had alot of scar tissue, so I will probably feel some restriction....time will tell :cursing:)

Betz...I actually was in the hospital ER with the Flu at the time when my band slipped. The Pain was something I cannot explain...extremely painful. Sometimes they can unfill and the band will go back into place. I was less fortunate and had to have emergency surgery. Glad all of that is behind me now.
