    Help! No loss since July...& now gaining...

    HELP!! I have 9cc's in my 11cc band.....and i have gained all my weight back----- im scared to go back to the dr, i dont want to get yelled at.... In November I stopped losing and couldnt stop sleeping and I went to my primary dr where I found out that my Thyroid is all messed up again and my vit d was extremely low like a 4 out of 35. So I got that in check and was feeling soo much better and energetic by the time the holidays came around. Then two days before Christmas I got pneumonia and was put on bed rest for two weeks.......Then I recovered then through out my back and cannot do any exercise since then. I have been doing back therapy twice a week since then. And still am going... Yesterday I barely got released to do the elliptical with out using the moving bars. Thats when I weighed myself and was CRUSHED.... Now that I think about it, I should have noticed when I lost all the compliments and people asking how Im doing that I had gained weight..... The only positive thing from this is I havent exceeded preop weight....and I will NOT! Im scared that there is nothing they can do for me..... will they give me another fill since i am soo close......
  4. It is 12:55 am Thursday night (Friday Morning) and I just got home from my son's surgury. What a long day. He was scheduled for 1:30 and didn't get into the operating room until 4:45. Got in a room at 8:00... I cried because I felt like a bad mom since he looked like he was in so much pain. They got him up to walk at 11:00 he did pretty good, lots of pain. Left him asleep in his chair!

     

    My husband and I are Thursday next week. I was very excited but it sure looks painful after seeing my son. It will all be worth it in the long run.

     

    So tell me how you are doing. Tell me how everything went from surgury up to now. How much pain? What are you eating? I feel like I really don't know what to eat after surgury even after going to the classes. Is it harder then you thought or pretty much what you expected... Sorry for so many questions, I am just going crazy with worry!

     

    Keep me posted on your progress

  5. Hello... Just wanted to see how you were doing? Did your husband and son get approved too? Just wanted

    May 7th Surgery Stories

    Heyyy guys!! Sorry it took soo long for me to finally post how my surgery went! So on Thursday I arrived at the outpatient center at about 10:00 and was pulled back to prep at 10:30 -- My surgeon then came in and told me they were running behind so instead of going in at 12:30, I was going in at 1. Which was fine.. haha.. I was having fun with my best friend and my mom waiting in the pre-op area. Well then they took me back and I only remember them strapping me down and then I woke up in recovery. I could barely see a thing and had no idea what was going on and then the nurse came out of no where and was like we cant find your mom.. and I started having an anxiety attack and my blood pressure went up.. haha.. I didnt like that feeling and then they found her thank goodness. So after about an hour in recovery they moved me to my room and I was released to go home at about 9 pm after they controlled my nausea -- that was exciting.. I wasnt having any pain other than from the gas -- wow that really hurt for me.... I went home and had some broth and took some pain medicine and passed out for the night.. When I woke up I had a lot of pain from the gas and pretty much walked allll day. Now today the 3rd day .. I feel great!! I have little discomfort at the port site and all my other incisions havent even hurt one bit.. and the gas is subsiding-- woohoo! I decided not to take any of the pain medicine today i just took some liquid tylenol which helped with the discomfort and I am saving the prescribed pain medicine for sleepy time:wink2: Well I think thats it.. if I remember anything else I will let you know!! :tt2:
  7. I hope all went well... let us know how you feel!
