So as suspected I found out I have a leak. Who does this happen to? Me that's who. I go in on Monday and find out if they can find it but unfortunately it looks like I am going to have surgery again. Booooo. I am so sad, good news is that even though I am at a stand still with losing weight and have had this horrible set back, I continue to lose inches and can see the results of my new lifestyle (working out, smaller portions). I am down pretty much fifty pounds from 229 lbs. to 181 lbs. I work out 5 days a week and feel better than I have in years. I hope this is a temporary hick up and I will still succeed. Maybe I will do better than originally because I believe my band never worked quite like it should have. Wish me luck on Monday. Sorry so long of a paragraph, just had a lot I wanted to share. I attached a pic of my progress in the last 10 months of my life with the band.

Oh man! U look HOT! And the band never worked at its full capacity so u've done this mostly on your own. Ur doing just as awesome without it.

Are they going to give u a new band? Or repair the old one?

If i cld do it again, id try the sleeve instead.

Well all has passed and it was a leak in the port. I had surgery the day after Christmas. It was not as bad as the initial surgery. I got a really bad stomach bug a week later but all seems to be going well as of now. My Dr. Filed my bad to 3cc during surgery and I am going to see him in a week. I am already feeling restriction that I hadn't felt in a long time. I am down to 180.1lbs. as of this morning. Yay! To sickness. Lol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
