Getting Better

Hi All,

Wanted to give an update, I had my fill done on May 20th, and that weekend I did Clear liquids, PB'd a couple of times on liquids, and then started on soft foods, well I had one PB after another, so I did another couple of days of liquids, then soft and again PB'ing. I then called my Doctor and I asked if I needed a unfill, they said I could, but what has probably happened is my stomach has become swollen and the band is real tight, I could come in and have some taken out, however once the swelling goes down it will be time for another fill, so they said to try just my protien drinks, and liquids for about 5 days, and then start out again. Well it has been 3 days of liquids, and I havent PB'd at ALL!!!! I can actually feel the liquids go down better, so I am hoping it all works out and I hope I won't have to have an unfill. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them??? I was just wondering.

But I still love my band, it is the best thing I have ever done in my life. I hope to reach 140 lbs weight loss by my band-anniversay, I am at 133 lbs weight loss now, so I think by July 27, 2005 I can do it.
