Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update from my appt on Monday, I went to see my surgeon she put 5 cc's back in..I don't have much restriction with it but I can live with it until the end of next month..I hope.. My weigh in at the doctors office was 330 lbs so I gained about 15 lbs over the weekend..I didn't think that was possible but I was so dehydrated and everything from vomitting so I guess it makes some sense..I hope I can get those pounds off quickly but I doubt that will happen. I just feel like a failure at this point..Im pissed at myself.
I've been super exhausted. I don't know why..I would of thought after having 5 days off in a row I would have been well rested..wrong..My body has been really sore lately..I don't know if its from my mattress or what. Everytime I wake I feel like I have been ran over by a semi..seriously..my back pain seems to getting worse I've been taking pain pills for the longest time but it seems to being get worse so I may get an MRI to check that out..I figured my pain would become less intense after losing weight I guess I was wrong.
My day turned to shit when I found out that my FMLA from missing last Thursday and Friday most likely won't be approved..UNUM has been a hassle this time around. I called them on Thursday after being in the ER for 6 hours and the guy files a short term disability for me instead of FMLA..I told him at least 3 times that I needed FMLA not short term and now today they call me and say since I didn't notify them within 2 business days it won't be approved..I havent been having the best of luck lately..I already missed 2 days of pay so now I have to deal with getting another absent with work..Hopefully it all works out. Sorry I have a lot to say in this blog..
Another update coming soon..I'm starting to get more into this whole blogging thing. Thanks!

I turned 21 on Friday!! yay me! I had a great bday weekend...lots of alcohol and food the two evils..since I had a complete unfill I can of course eat like I have never had surgery which isn't good. I want to eat everything in site..I didn't think I would be this bad..I don't even want to step on the scale..I know I have gained..I will find out my weight tomorrow when I go back to the surgeon. I would say at least 10-15 lbs..ugh!! I think my body was just in starvation mode for the 2 weeks I was vomitting and everyhting so once I could actually get a meal in it just decided to pack on the weight..I'm hoping and praying that she gives me a fill tomorrow..preferably putting mostly everything that was taken out back in..we shall see how it goes..I just wanted to do a quick update I will let everyone know what happens tomorrow. I posted some b-day pics as well..Night..

Hey everyone, so most of you know I have been having some issues with my band being too tight, well lastnight I was vomiting most of the night..I would try to drink a little water and it seemed to be getting worse. I call my surgeon today and she was there seeing patients but of course didn't have any openings..so I was forced to go to the ER..5 hours later..I get my band completely unfilled..I was so upset..I don't really know what to do at this point. I wasn't expecting them to take everything out. They took a total of 7 ccs out, I had orginally thought I had 8 ccs but apparenlty my surgeon hasn't been telling me the right amounts because he held it there for awhile and started getting air. I go to see my surgeon on Monday for my original scheduled appointment so I'm hoping she will give me a fill at that time. I haven't tried to eat yet today..I'm kinda scared to even eat at this point. I don't want to test myself to see how much I can really get down now that I have an empty band..I will keep you all updated on what happens. Thanks everyone.

So I scheduled an appt last week to get an unfill because I'm vomiting daily..
well I get call today saying that my surgeon had an emergency so she can't see patients until next Monday..and of course her partner is out of town..FANTASTIC! So now I have to go another full week being miserable and not being able to to eat..I don't really know what to do at this point..I really don't want to wait because I seriously can not eat anything at all except soup and pudding..I've been miserable..I don't know what to do..ugh!!
Thanks for reading!

Ugh..I had this huge blog typed out and it all erased so this is going to be short..I was 12 months post op yesterday. I have lost a total of 132 so far. I have went from a size 30 to a 24. I posted some pics finally to show my progress. I can't believe it has already been a year..time has went back so fast. I have finally started exercising more lately. It just sucks because I will go forever without working out so then when I finally do I'm sore forever..I am still having some issues with my band..I've been having a lot of reflux so I'm going on the 8th to get an unfill. I'm hoping she can take the least amount that is possible so I don't lose all restriction because I think it just needs a little tweak. I will talk to everyone soon. Good Night!
