thanks for all your concern guys. I went for an upper GI today then to see my doc. I wasnt slipped thank god. but my doc said i was way too tight and swollen and that he was surprised that i'd been able to keep any solid food down at all.He also said it was good that i came in because i was tight enough i was at risk to do some serious damage to my band. So ended up having 1cc of Fluid taken out. He scheduled me to come back in a few weeks. He said he'd see me sooner and take out more if needed or to put back if i started to gain. So all in all i'm pretty happy with my decision to see my doc. I think i did the right thing. i know i've been eating way too many slider foods the last few weeks due to being too tight. So now i wanna take the time to start eating better. if i do things the right way i think i can still cont to lose.And again thanks for all your covcern. Right now i still feel like a bit of an overtired emotional train wreck. But i rhink i'm heading in the right direction.

I went for a reconsult and another seminar last night... UCSD... I am so pleased with the professionalism and the information... great long term team to work with.

Any way I read in some of the material they gave us that Acid reflux could be brought about by an over tight band. I am glad they caught it early and you gave them the opportunity to check you out. I am sure you feel better already.

Hey guys just wanted to update you guys on how the last months been. I am feeling great. No reflux problems at all since the unfill and i've managed not gain back any weight. I really consider myself at goal right now. I'm wearing size medium or even small tops. I'm in a size 6-8 in jeans (mostly 6's!!) my 16 year old daughter and i are now in the same clothes. when i first started this journey i decided i wanted to be a size 10 and consider myself at goal. I honestly didn't think id be able to achieve that. well i've exceeded that. Im starting to adjust more to the image in the mirror. Sometimes I still cant get over the change in me. People refer to me as skinny all the time. my work schedule still sucks but thats just life. i have an apt with my surgeon tomorrow i may do a slight fill maybe just .25cc or .50cc at most. thanks so much for all of your support and concern. All through this journey when no one else understood what i was going through my LBT friends always had my back! thanks so very much

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
