Dec 5,2009,

It is now my 2 year rebirth day : ) I do not regret the choice I made 2 years ago to change my life, I feel great,and I am healthy !

Since I seen my Dr. in Sept,my restriction is still very good,as for weight loss,I stay off my scale as it reads something different every time,I am not back in my size 12 pants as of yet so Im ok with the 14,untill that happens,perhaps I need to just go see him get weighed in and let him know how I am doing.

All of you can go to my photos to see the new me : ) I have had 2 friends start their journey last year,and I have 2 more looking forward to a new life in Jan,10,these people I have influnced to start a new life are real personal friends of mine and I will be their for them! Happy Hoildays to all,and remember to stay away from the sin food, for some reason they go down VERY WELL ! : ) Happy New year to all

My Dr. gave me a prime ,whatever that is and a refill of 3 cc, he will not fill me anymore untill end of Sept,I feel no restriction and am gaining weight, Feeling angry he took out ALL MY FILLS and I have to wait 3 months between fills now, why didnt he just do a small un fill befour taking it all out to see if that would relive my stomach aches, I take Protonix daily now and have been since March, no stomach problems,So Im gaining weight, he dont seem to care, and I have to wait till end of Sept to see him again,Im soooo up set : (

I was able to eat way to much than my body is used to, had a fill of 3 cc just last week and not getting any restriction as of yet my next app is not for another month. I need my fill in to feel the restriction,I have 2 events before I see my Dr again,a graduation party,and a wedding,I am sooo worried about gaining my weight back : ( I am eating like a normal person yet my body is use to much less,will I continue to gain ? Again need that sweet spot !!!

Well Happy to just say this short and sweet,Dr. weighed me in at 146,I was 143 last visit,139 before that,so I'm happy to say he gave me a new prime ( don't know what that is really ) and a fill of 3 cc,I am hoping to feel some sort of restriction in a few days. I am just so relived the worst is behind me now,all my worry gone for now.

Well I went to pick up my report on my last test Dr. wanted me to have as I knew everything is normal, while I was in the records dept,I asked if they report on my day of surgery, and they found them, so Dr. Did prime me at the time of surgery, but it was only .5 cc at time of surgery, so still has me woundering where the other 2 cc came from.

Well I see him in a matter of days now,and cant wait to see what he has to say or his plan on how and how much he will refill me,I sure do not want to start all over again : )

So my fellow Bandsters I will have to post again after I see him On Tuesday,wish me luck...

Well Dr. Rantis wanted yet another test to be done this one is called a Esophogeal Manometry,a tube threw my nose to my Esophagus, this is for people who have trouble swallowing,I can eat a house now & drink a lot at the same time at this point I have gained almost 10 lbs,I felt no need for this test but he wanted it done so be it, I had to be a wake for this one, lasted about 1 hour of them pulling tube in and out,horrible,The lady doing the test even called Dr. and told him I am not sytomachic for this test, he told her I don't have to do it if I don't want, well he ordered it and I want to do what ever he says so I can get this fill back in me.

I say when you are use to eating very little for so long then have no restriction and even if you eat normal you will gain because its more than what your body has been use to, so with this said have to wait 7-10 days for results of this test,still don't know why I had 2.5 cc in that I did not know about, now he tells me I was primed at time of surgery,meaning he put some fill in at that time, I thought I had asked him that and he told me no,so how I got to tight is still a mystery to me,I am sick of all these tests,and having no restriction,and I feel fine, I called the office and am going to see him on the 19th,and Im going to tell him I want all my fills back,if I knew then what I know now, I would not have let him take all my fill out !!!

I will post again after seeing him on the 19th.

Went to see Dr Rantis,all reports are good,he said he would 

like me to just take a break from any fills right now so my

stomach will heal give it a rest,He said I was to tight,so I will

see him next month,6 weeks really.I am so happy that my

band can stay with me : ) I gained 4 ils so I must be very

careful of my eating habits,going to be hard to do, I have no

restriction at all,perhaps this is a test to see if I really learned

the right way of eating?Or did I just let my band do all the

work? Eat right,eat good, eat healthy,stay focused!
