I Have a Lump in my Throat...and NOT in a Good Way! :-(

Aug 17, 2009

...and I'm sure many of you can relate!

It's been a while since I posted here but I have checked in occasionally.  Since I had my surgery back on 3/3 I've been doing fine & have lost 77 lbs. to date.  However, I'm wondering if perhaps I'm being "over-filled."  I go to my doc once a month and he's given me a fill every time I've gone (the first fill was 3 cc's and every subsequent one was 1 cc.)  Does this seem like a lot of fills to anyone else out there?  I know some of the women at my support group say they haven't been filled in 2-3 visits.  Then, I'm thinking maybe he's giving me so many fills because I have a LOT of weight to lose...  I was filled this month on 8/5...and over the weekend food got stuck (painfully so...to the point of vomiting...nothing violent but nonetheless not fun!) OFTEN...and I never had this problem before.  So, I'm thinking that I might have too much restriction and that when I go in Sept., I'm going to ask him not to fill me.  My doc is very nice, so communication is not a problem (why do we sometimes think our drs. are psychic?  We have to TALK TO THEM! 
Thanks for listening!  Hope everyone is doing well & staying cool!
