Well, I went in November to get a fill.I had a stomach virus the weekend before I was to go. It caused me to be swollen and I could feel a lot of acid rumbling around the rest of the week.
When I got to the doctor they did flouro on my and found all the acid and the swelling. The took out 1 cc. and put me on Nexium for one month. I immediately felt relief. I knew it wasn't right, but it is frustrating that the stomach virus caused all of this.
Now I have 1.3 cc. and I have to make it through Thanksgiving and Christmas with an unfill.
I did fine. I stayed the same all the way through the holidays w/ no problems.
I'm not losing!!! Think I need a fill.
Scheduled a fill for Feb. 11th.
A friend went with me to Mexicali. I got a fill. Now I am back to 2.3 cc.
I felt fine the first week I was back then I got very tight. I started having reflux ... but I also have terrible sinus / allergy problems right now. The drainage is awful for my band. It makes me feel tight all the time.
I have also started working out. I joined a fitness challenge team. We will workout from Feb. 10 - April 18th. The team and individuals receive points each day they work out. We also receive points if we attend 4 different kinds of classes (mind / body = yoga; weight training; water aerobics; spinning or zumba) Points are awarded each week if we lose weight or our waist decreases in size (5 points per pound lost and 3 points per inch lost on waist). There are meetings once a week concerning different topics of interest = 5 points per meeting; and we earn extra points if we participate in 5k races or triathalons scheduled for the challenge.
I have started working out. I ride my bike or the stationary bike at the gym at least 12 miles 5 times each week. I have lifted weights a few times, but found that I was so sore afterwards it was hard for me to complete my bike ride.
I have to ride 12.5 miles on the 18th of April to complete my part of the triathalon. I have decided to concentrate on that right now. I will change up my exercise after the 18th.
With all the increased exercise, I am still not dropping the weight. I am have lost about 7 pounds in 7 weeks. I am very frustrated. I think I should be losing more.
