feeling discouraged

[khaley 0]

I had my surgery on Nov 30th, I went in for a fill 2 weeks later, and when

the PA put in my first fill, aparently my stomach swolle up, and I couldnt

get Water down, we had to remove the Fluid to let the swelling go down.

Trying to find my port has been just a crazy game, I get so sick to my stomach..cant find it. I went in for a refill this last Monday she dug around unable to find the port again OMG. I couldnt belive it not again.

I am scheduled for a floroscopy Thursday. I guess I have been eating acting as I did before I decided to get the lapband or as I have always eaten my whole life...feeling like a failure. I have gained some weight back..I need something to happen soon. The PA told me we would have to add fluid to the band slow at first. What a crazy begining to a new year, and lap banding.

Don't get too discouraged. It took me about 6 months to get the right restriction. It just takes time.

And don't forget you are "relearning" how to eat, that in itself will take time and patience.
