    Wednesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench! ~ JudyAnne

1/2/08 Got the fill but it was a strange process...
on January 2, 2008 7:41 pm

I went to get my fill that very next week and my doctor did my fill a little different this time.  He had me stand up and drink water as he was giving me the fill.  The object was for me to drink as he filled my band until my water didn't go down anymore.  He was then supposed to take a little out so that I would be at restriction but not overfilled.  He says this is a little trick he does when the person is close to capacity in their band.  Apparently I'm already close to capacity by having 3.8cc's of fluid in my band at this point.  Prior to giving me the fill he checked to see how much fluid I actually had in my band and it was only 2.?cc's.  That's why I didn't have any restriction.  The same thing happened as the last time when he had inadvertantly taken fluid out instead of putting it in.  The thing is he stopped at 3.8cc's because I never told him the water stopped going down.  I can't eat a subway sandwich anymore, but I'm not at the restriction level I was before either.  I can live with this though.  I'm not losing weight right now, but if I exercised like I'm supposed to then that might kick start my weight loss again. (Duh!)  This time I think it's my fault that I'm not losing weight.  I can't expect this thing to do all the work.  Also, I'm afraid of getting to capacity in my band and I'm not even close to goal.  I haven't even made it to one year out yet.
