Blah...too loose again

I haven't been around much I guess because I've been frustrated with the way things have been going...I was too tight for a long time, like since January.  I got some removed and thought I was ok but the constant heartburn told me I wasn't, so I went back to get more out.  I was fairly confident I just needed a small amount out, like .25cc but instead the PA took out .5cc, taking me back to my prior fill level.  And I can eat almost anything, I can eat much larger amounts, and I'm hungry.  Grrrr...its so frustrating because I know I'm SO close I can feel it but we're not getting it exactly right.  I need .25cc back in there...I feel like this will be the perfect level...but I have to wait til the end of July for my next appointment...so here we are wasting half the summer.  Blah.  Okay, just needed to vent.

FOr me, as little as 0.1 can make all the difference! Can't they fit you in sooner - July is a long time to wait!

So frustrating!

Update me, though: are you still seeing the surgeon in Syracuse, or did you find someone else (in Rochester?).  I think you told me this already, but I forgot.

Is waiting until the end of July because of the surgeon's schedule?

It is frustrating...and you got it backwards, lol.  I am seeing someone in Rochester (my original surgeon) but was contemplating trying to switch to the hospital here in Syracuse....I started seeing the PA instead of my surgeon and I'm in love with her, lol.  She actually listens to me and talks to me about whats going on.  I think the 8 weeks was the standard time they wait in between fill appointments, but its going to be a loooong 8 weeks going on like this!

Well, if I were you, I'd be calling them to see if they could squeeze in a fill appt sooner than that.

I know how frustrating it is-been there.

What you can do is focus very hard on good choices right now.  Eat all the tuna you want-somehow the "all you want" stipulation makes the tuna taste less awful, but it's not likely you will gain weight.  Making good choices is something that comes with time-so this is a good time to practice-Unlimited Good Choices...LOL.
