Long time!

Jul 20, 2012

 Been a long time since I've been on this site. :)

I have been, well I don't want to say non-compliant with the band, but in a sense I was. I wasn't going and getting my fills and I was eating foods I shouldn't have. I never gained any weight, but I hadn't been losing either. I finally called and scheduled a fill (almost 2 years since my last one), and I figured they would be all mad and stuff. When I made the appt, they asked if I was okay seeing a guy named Bill - I didn't care, I told them. I was willing to see whoever. 

My appt for my fill was yesterday. I left that appt feeling better than I had in a long time about the band. Bill sat down with me, TALKED WITH ME about ideas and tips that I could use to help make my band a better tool. Any other time I have gone for a fill, the person says "Are you doing this? Well you should be" and then they fill and its done. I sat in the room with Bill for a good hour discussing techniques and ideas I could use. He gave me a minor fill (0.2cc) because since its been 2 years, he didn't want to make a drastic change and then me have problems. I go back again in September for another fill (I know I will need it because already I'm feeling hungry again, etc).

Also, I was shocked because in the two years it had been since my last fill, I thought I hadn't lost ANY weight. I was actually DOWN 17 pounds since my last visit there. That made my day. My goal is to definitely show them that I CAN do this and I WILL. :)
