I bit the bullet and reschuled my fill for April 20th instead of May 4th. Out of curiosity, I decided to ask what my weight was the last time I went in for an unfill. Wow, that was a loaded question. She said 178, I was like WHOA I'd love nothing more than to see that number again. Today marked day 1 of 11 for cleansing my body.

Do you mind my asking why you got unfilled? Cali

Hi xavier:

I don't mind at all that you ask that question. I was unfilled back in September '08 due to a stretching of my pouch. While vacationing in Hawaii back in July '08, I vomitted for 6 hours straight while on a Catamaran. It was the WORST 6 hours of my life. Before going on vacation, I had great restriction but the puke session did not help my band. After returning from vacation, I noticed that I could eat more than normal so I went in for a fill 1st week of Sept. and I was told my pouch had stretched. After that, a worldwind of events took place in my life. I've had 5 deaths in the family all within the matter of 6 months. I was on an emotional roller coaster. When my clothes started to fit tight, I was like whoa the weight is creeping back on. That's when it clicked and I said to myself, "I need to regain control of my life!" How long have you been banded?

Sorry I'm not in the cool kids club yet...I am HOPING to get a date on thursday! I am self pay so I hope it goes fast...I am sooo excited...I really admire for your reality attitude! There are a few things more important than your weight and it sounds like you went through FIVE of them. Hopefully now you can start thinking more of yourself...keep blogging...it helps us all! Cali

HA, you're too funny. Let me know if you get a scheduled date on Thursday. I'm rootin for ya. I'm counting down the days for my fill. Latest funeral was yesterday and it was really difficult to stay on my eating plan. Easter is coming up so that will be another mental check tha I will need to overcome. Keep in touch.
