Sept 15th - I had my port repostioned today.  My surgeon also done my
fill.  He put 2 cc in my 4 cc band.  I am sore, but have no regrets.  I
still love my band and can't wait to see what it feels like to have
restriction!  Let the weight loss begin!

Sep 2, 05 - I went for my fill, but found out that my port has flipped
at a ninety degree angle.  My Doc tried for over an hour to give me the
fill (at my encouragement).  My stomach is bruised and very sore.  I am scheduled to have my port repostioned Sept. 15.  On the good side I
have started losing again.   I am down about 21 pounds. 

I have a fill scheduled for the 29th of August.  I am stuck at a weight loss of 15.5 pounds.  I really need to join a gym.

July 21st - I am down 15.5 pounds.  I really haven't started a strict
exercise program yet.  I can't wait to see how fast the weight will come
off then.  I love my band!!!!!!!!

July 11th - I have lost 13 pounds.  I go back to work tomorrow.  I know
some of my co-workers will be expecting to see alot more weight off my
frame, even though I have tried to explain you lose slower with
lap-band.  Guess it will good for me to get back in the routine of things

I had my first post op visit today.   Everything went great.   I am down 9.5 pounds.  Yay for me!
Here a picture of me just a couple of weeks post op.

June 21st -  I am one week post-op.  I am feeling great.  Most of the
soreness is gone.  Now I am ready to start losing this weight.

June 15th -  I am now on the losing side.  My surgery was rescheduled
for the 14th.  Everything went great.  I got to come home from the
hospital today.  I have been taking lots of short walks.  The pain isn't
terrible, but my stomach muscles are very sore.  I feel like I have done
about 300 crunches and sit ups.

June 5th -  8 more days!  I am so excited!  I went to the nutrional
class and also had my pre-op testing done.  I don't have the results from
the blood work, but my EKG was normal.  I see my surgeon and exercise
guy on the 9th.  I thought I would be more nervous than what I am.  I
guess it just hasn't hit me yet. 
Here is a picture of me and my hubby taken at my best freinds wedding.

15 more days until I have lap-band.  My surgery date is June 13th.  I
am so excited.  I thought I would be nervous, but so far I am not. 
Here's a little info about me.  I am 25, 5'8 and weigh 270.  This is my all
time high weight, but I have struggled with my weight since I was about
7 when I joined weight watchers for the first time.  I really seriously
began considering weight loss surgery in January 05.  I went to a
seminar on Feb 22.  I knew this was what I wanted to do.  I was so
disappointed when I found out that my company has an exclusion on weight loss
surgery.  But that didn't stop me.  I borrowed money against my house.  I
got my letter of recommendation from my pcp in March.  I had my
psycological evalutation on March 22.  My first appointment with Dr. Boyce (my
surgeon) wasn't until May 17th.  I was so afraid he would say I wasn't
a canidate, but at the same time I was terrified he would say I was.  I
was able to schedule my surgery that same day.  I go June 1st for the
nutrional class.  My blood work is scheduled for June 3rd.  That is the
only pre-testing I have to do.  I can't wait for June 13th to get here!
