3rd Fill Blues
on December 25, 2007 6:45 pm
Well about a week ago I went in for my 3rd fill. I now have 2cc in my band. My doc pushed in 4cc's which took my breath away because I wasnt expecting to feel anything like that. Then she took it out and just pushed in .5cc's. Ever since last week I have not been able to get hardly anything down. I feel like she may have have pushed in more the .5cc's or either it's the swelling. I've dropped 4 pounds in the last week and I'm pretty happy about that. I've also posted a new before and after pic, so check it out and let me know what you think. 53 pounds gone FOREVER!!! I LOVE MY BAND!!!

I'm really starting to see a difference in my clothes, my arms are getting smaller and I even can get into a size 18/20 top! I'm so happy that I chose to have WLS, I coulndnt have done this on my own. Im going to buy me a new bike pretty soon so I can ride up and the down the beach for excersise. I hope everyone is doing well and feeling great. I will keep you posted on my weight lose journey. 35 pounds gone FOREVER!!!!!!!

Hey Family,
Since Ive been able to start mushies, I really havent had any. I' ve been sticking to my liquids for some odd reason but the weight is coming off. Im down 22 pounds now and I thinks thats great for only 31/2 weeks out. My pants are starting to fit me loosely and Im loving it. My band is working for me and I havent had a fill yet!! Im feeling fine except for some port pain everynow and then. I will keep you guys posted and keep an out eye for some new pics!

Okay, today I must've been trippin. I didnt eat anything all day until I got off from work at 5. I had mashed potatoes and just a few bites and I was full. Im scared that I'm messing up. Im still down 20 pounds and not able to work out because of my knee injury. I want to be down at least 50 pounds by the end of the year. I wont get a fill for another 2 weeks and cant wait!! I pray to God that I stay on the right track. It's really hard!!! Harder than I thought. Pray for me.

Today I'm feeling so much better. I was finally able to burp on yesterday and the pain in my chest went away instantly. Im down 20 pounds and I feel good enough to return to work on Monday. I havent started my mushies yet and I cant wait because I'm hungry often. But all is well. I cant wait to get my first fill, because right now I dont have any restriction. I will keep everyone posted on my weight loss journey.

My Story

Hi All,

My name is Shanta. Im 26 years old from Galveston,Tx, I currently weigh 319 pounds and I absolutely hate it!!! I am having Lap Band Surgery with Dr. Marx, who has an awesome team here in Galveston. I've been overweight since 8th grade but i really started to put on the pounds during my freshman year in college. I hope to have a successful surgery and I cant wait to start my new life. I will keep everyone posted.
