well actually i was out by about 1045. they think i may have had something stuck and that caused inflammation. they checked my band and i only had 2cc in it, and they took out 1cc. i have to go back in 6 weeks if im still too tight i need to have a swallowing study

Hi all

just checking in. dealing with many deamons in my life and trying to close some doors, its harder than I thought.

bouncing up and down 5lbs and my throat is burning 24/7 so eating comfort food, and probably too much, i'm sure the 6 miles i walk or the hr on the elliptical are the only things keeping my weight stable

Vicki - thanks for asking - family court, made out good but just emotional draining, and i just want to be away and i'm still being haunted. my lack of trust and fear of being hurt again is preventing me from moving on

Im glad your ok val, hopefully thats all it is and your on your way to feeling better.

Jenn, Hope your feeling better soon.

I am back up to 200 today a total of 15 lbs since surgery. I cant imagine not having the band, I would be back to almost 300. going in on tues. hope he fills me some..I definitly need it.

[val 7]

actually i feel better already...no more reflux...but cant believe i only have 1cc in the band at one point i had 4.5 cc in it

thanks vicki

I hope you get your fill. are you journaling your food?

Val - that is great. I always lose Fluid in my band, so probably 1.25 in there max was 1.5 in a 4cc band I was suppose to go for a fill today but cancelled, I am not in a good place for a one, I need to be ready and it will work. I'm too distracted to stay focused

that is bizzare isn't it Val, I know i've been all over the spectrum since i got the band, too loose, too tight its wierd..

[val 7]

i know it really is...i seem to be able to eat more but keeping it light with liquids for 1 more day

Hi Ladies,

Well I went for my appt last tues and was up 12lbs (291)!:tt1:

So I did get a fill of just under .7cc ..it seems to be working although I could be little bit tighter. I weighed today on my scale and was 287 so it's starting to come down. Maybe I can lose 15lbs by my next appt in 6 weeks.

Good for u vet, your weight is good. don't worry about the 12, its probably Water.< /p>

I still cant talk right, sounds like laryngitis, but it is from being intubated, said my cords might be permanenly damaged, gotta see a ent specialist to see whats up. I also am up 12 lbs so your not alone. see him on tues, hope to get a fill...:w00t:

Vicki, do'nt think about how long its going to take to get the extra weight off. Just take it one day at a time and concentrate on what you should do for that day. That's what i'm doing to help myself get back on track. :scared2:

well i hardly have anything in my band and i cant eat a ton, but thats good. i guess ill be having a swallow study to check the position of my band in may
