It's been awhile since I have posted here. Although I come here to this site daily, I kinda lost my way several months ago. I lost my restriction, started eating anything and everything in site. Then I was having abdominal pains and it scared me. I thought I had a slip of the band or something. The PA refused to give me a fill several months ago and gave me some tough love to try and get my head back in the game.Went back on June 4th hopefully for a fill again, but had gained back 6 pounds. Needless to say I still didn't get a fill only because I wasn't feeling well and having chest pains the whole week, and the abdominal pain was still there off and on as well. She checked the position under Fluro, and all was ok, and not showing another leak or anything. The next day I was doing something simple as pulling laundry from the dryer, and I went down like a ton of bricks. Brought to the ER, went through a stress test and heart cath, and they discovered my stents are clogged, but not enough to place a new one at this time. Just the one artery is bad, and they said they won't even consider open heart at this time. So onward with more medication. I hate pills.
But at the same time I have been here in the hospital, almost a week now, I have been away from the foods I know I shouldn't be eating, and feeling some restriction again also. Maybe this whole ordeal was a wake up call to get me back on track and back in the game, but I will take it anyway I can.
I also need to take time and thank my husband Kevin, for being here by my side thru this all. I should of listened to him earlier in the week to see the doctor when I start feeling bad, but I am the stubborn type and argued with him the whole week, til I went down. Then I knew I couldn't go on and pretend nothing was wrong.
Well onward I will go, I get out of here tomorrow, and hopefully will stay on track with this mindset.
