Thank you, ma'am! Well I went and my pouch is healed, the band corrected itself, and they put 3.2 CC's back in my band...so I am in fantastic shape! No, I didn't gain...in fact, I lost two pounds! So I won't have any more put back in...I'm enjoying eating again, and my exercise is such that I know I will make it to goal without all that fill.
Today is day one for your diet, right? What is the diet, anyhow? Doing okay so far?

Yes, and I am still grateful it went down that way, trust me! The slip...no, it didn't hurt...just couldn't eat a dang thing. Seriously. Then even water had a hard time getting through. Bad news. So we did a complete unfill. This was a month ago. I go back for my follow up appointment in about four hours to see if it has healed yet. Wish me luck!

Oh, of course! I knew I was being hard headed and it would be an obvious answer! No, I didn't have time for preop diets....approved on Monday but not confirmed until Wednesday...had surgery on Friday...all in the same week! (Long story...) Flouro is like xray...is xray? Dunno, but its cool. You swallow this stuff called barium and you can look on the monitor and watch it go through your stomach/band. I usually have them print pics from the machine, too! I definitely will this time so I can compare to last time when we discovered the slip/stretch. My doc does all fill/adjustments under flouro.

Hey there! Thanks for the message...I heart comments from folks and hearing about how they are doing. And I'm good, too, thank you! Going for a flouro check up on Thursday, so will know more then, but I feel great. I am a dork...can't figure out what the "L" is...but assuming that the "SD" is Supervised Diet? Maybe "L" is for "LONG"? LOL

Hey there...and welcome to BandsterLand! I see you joined over three months ago...why so long without jumping in? :confused: This a great place! Get involved and you will have all the support you need to make it through this amazing journey. Thank you for the comments about my pics! That was very nice. No, I haven't had any plastic surgery...I work out like a FIEND! I'm addicted to the gym...live there...would own one if I could just so I could have an excuse to be there all day, every day!
There are many ways to get involved here. Just to name a few, there are the surgery month threads, there are the exercise threads, and there are tons of specialty groups such as diabetic bandsters and the like. Personally, I belong to the June 2007 thread because that is when I was banded, I belong to the BYCYLING thread (yes, we know it is mis-spelled! ) because I am an avid cyclist, and I always join the monthly exercise thread (though I am really not posting much of late with life getting a little nuts here lately). What are your hobbies? Maybe we have a thread for it? Who knows! The key is to get in there and introduce yourself, tell a little bit about yourself and show an interest in the others on the thread...you will fit right in and will find great support.
Let me (or any of the other moderators) know if we can be of assistance in any way, please!
Take care, Stefanie
