Wow and Hello ALL!! I missed you guys so much! I'm happy to see that everyone is doing well..I've had some good and bad things to happen but I'm taking it all with a grain of salt..The job that I "had" fell thru because of my my previous employer said I was terminated and I wasnt I quit! So 2 days before my start date I get call saying that they can't hire me because of what Baylor said!! So I have filed a dispute with them and if they dont repsond with in 30 days than it will be dropped from my background. *!!!* so I had redraw my 2 weeks notice from my present job of course they were happy about it, they finally hired someone to help me which is a blessing... so i'm here for now. as far as my weight goes I havent been to the doctor since august *i think* but im going today at 3 for a fill. My current weight as of Friday was 198.9 so i've been holding steady at that but I gotta lose at lease 30 more pounds by January... we will see what the doctor says.. personal life is picking up a bit. I met a personal trainer not sure how long this will last because i dont even own a pair tennis shoes! lol!

Ladies Ladies Ladies!!! This is going to be a long one! I went to the doctor on last Monday for a fill I gained my weight was 207! I was so dissapointed in me that I cried. So of course the doctor talked to me gave me encouraging words & gave me a big fill sent me on my way. Well as soon as I got in the car i began to hiccup and burp and hiccup until it hurt. I brused it off and did my normal routine after I get my fills. Soup, Water juice etc. well that night I couldnt swallow my own spit I kept throwing up fluids and it was the most painful thing!! My band was so tight that everytime I laid down my own spit came out of my nose! Needless to say I called the office and explained what was going on I rushed back and they unfilled half of what my doctor had put in. My weight that morning was 202.1 ***i had lost 5 pounds in 1 day!*** Well I thought everything was ok because i felt better right after she removed the Fluid but baby i was WRONG!! I got home and began to vomit again and again until I dehydrated myself! I went back to the doctor office that next day my weight was 198!!! I had hardly any fluid in my body becaue i could not eat or drink. She completly unfilled my band on last Wednesday, placed me on bedrest she said My stomach was swollen because the band was to tight and my throat was raw from stomach acid!!! I went back on yesterday and she refilled my band with 2.75cc's my weight is 205 and I feel better!! I'm back at work Praise GOD and I have a good portion of restriction right now. I have decided I will no longer worry about the number on the scale if I never make it 150 I can say I have lost at least 69 pounds!! Im happy to be alive and Im that I have you guys hear to listen. love u tia

OMG!!!! I guess I was on a high yesterday after I left the doctors office and didnt notice the bruise his intern left... The area around my port is very brusied and swollen and was bleeding a little last night on my tshirt. The bleeding had never happend before, im use to marks being there. It just feels weird as hell!! before Dr Rivas did the fill he let his intern try and we both thought she had in the needle in the port but she is totally wrong!!! and OUCH! she stopped and said she was sorry for hurting me didnt think it would bruise so bad...but i will NEVER let her TRY to fill me AGAIN!!! Other then that experience Im HAPPY
