Starting Over 2 1/2 years later
on July 22, 2007 11:48 am

After two years finally went back to my Dr in June 07 to get an understanding as to why the lapband was not working for me.  His response was:
1. you haven’t been coming in for office visits
2. You’re not monitoring your weight weekly
3. You’re finding foods that are going through your band
4. I need to re-educate myself with the rules of the lapband. 

With all the above said, I have to admit Dr Olsofka was not rude or condescending at all.  He just stated the facts and in way that my feelings were not hurt and I wasn't made to feel like you're always going to be obese. 

I thought yea right!  Ok, I'll do these things and come back in a month. A month later went back and had lost 8lb. I thought ok then Dr Olsofka was right.  On this 2nd visit I received a fill-in. 

Strangly I was able to eat more after this fill in than before, so a week later I’m back in the office to see why am I hungrier than before the fill-in.  Solution --Dr missed the port during the last fill-in ... SO I received my second fill-in in less than a week.... Hate to see what my EOB's going to say.

Since my second fill in almost 4 weeks I've lost 21lbs and down an entire jean size yeah!!!.

Chat with you in another Month... Im on way out to exercise.

Love is the answer and always love yourself.
