reinventingme08

OK you have convinced me to call and make an appt for my dr to do another fill. I had surgery in may and have been bout standstill weightwise for a month or more, had one fill early July and they said return in 3 mos or sooner if no weight loss. I also have felt that except for reminding me at times I may have eaten too quickly or not chewed the food thoroughly.. the lap band has not made any measurable difference in my appetite or portion control. I felt guilty that i cant seem to make it happen on my own!! so hopefully another fill or 2 will do what I need it to. good luck to you!! Chris

Bummed.. developed a skin infection on lower belly end of last week, went on antibiotics on Sunday. Today visited the surgeon to have him make decision on surgery. He says delay not worth the risk of problems. Sooooo Thurs 5/8 is out and so far nothing scheduled. They are saying bout 2 weeks hopefully. OHHHH U can't imagine how upset I was by this news. My life on hold in many ways due to this surgery, time off work, moving to new place etc..... I was in MELTDOWN! luckily had a friend sumone special to spend the day with that has me back on even keel for moment. sighhhh!! l Chris

add me for May 8th gracias chris

Seattle sweetie u are wise beyond ur years!!!! I agree that taking the right steps for ME and not letting the difficulties at home mess that UP is the right path. Reinventing me 08 screen name was chosen for a lot of reasons.:frown: how many people get to do a DO OVER at age 54? scary and exciting at same time. like that sig line for the may banders u have. How do i install?? thanks Chris

YOU echo my thoughts exactly... was driving in to work this morning and thinking by this time next week it will all be over with and I will be at home. I am set for lap band on Thurs May 8th..in the middle of a crisis of in my marriage as well so the timing of this all is not great but after a year of jumping thru hoops to get this approved I am not gonna detour. Good luck to all getting banded this week! Chris Mitchell
