10 months post op Lapband--SUCCESS

Nov 19, 2009

Since my last blog I had a fill of 1 cc bringing me up to 5.1 I went to the mountains for a weekend and my band got super tight. i think was due to the elevation.  after i came back home it was still tight.  I had to go in and get an unfill they removed the 1cc putting me back down to 4.1 cc's.

Today I went back for my monthly visit and i decided that i only need a little bit of fluid.  I seem to be doing pretty well, so this is what my surgeon calls "fine tuning"

Dr. coirin told me today that because my bmi is now right under 33 it means i have officially SUCCEEDED as a lap band patient.  Everything from her on out is just me reaching my goals. 

That was exciting to hear.  I do want to lose about 30-40 more pounds. i am at 178 pounds today.

New things in my life?
