Since I last blog I decided to get a revision and do the gastric sleeve, so of course I would have to get a EGD done..and what did they find????? FOOD in my tummy 9.5 hrs after i ate..WTH!! so my doctor wanted some tests done. I had to do a nuclear emptying of the stomach..and apparently my digestive system is NOT working properly..GEEZE what else can go wrong???they dont no what the heck is wrong with my stomach.. so that means MORE test and NO surgery.. so my doctor thinks I should try to give this band ONE MORE CHANCE.. and I believe if i TRY my best and put more effort in this I can lose the weight.. so I agreed..and here i am..at 213lbs.. I have lost a few pounds..I have been watching what I eat..excercising at kleast 5 days a week.. but I only have 3.5 cc's which is NOT much cause i still can EAT..lol Anyways to give ya'll my update.. I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL..yay me!! Im getting my degree in respiratory therapy.. Im doing this for myself but also my MOM!!! I know she will be very proud of me.. I MISS HER SOOO MUCH.. its now been a little over 4 months since her passing.. and it just feels so UNREAL...this feels like a dream.. a bad bad dream... Ive been trying to stay strong.. but it sooo hard.. since Im in school full time now I had to transfer to 2nd shift.. and its HARD.. hardly getten sleep.. but I have been tryen to maintain..
