I have learned some interesting things about my band now that I have a good fill.

1. I can't burp! Boy what I wouldn't give to have one of those wrip roaring, toe curling, totally unlady like belches at times. Heck, I'd settle for a simple burp.
2. I can no longer drink carbonated beverages. see #1
3. I can't vomit. Had the flu and have never been so miserable. I wanted the band gone like never before. 
There is a HUGE difference between P-bing and vomiting.
4. No matter how many times I test it, the band always wins
5. I am COLD all the time. I know this has nothing to do with the band persay, buts it unbelievable how much this has changed. I went vehicle shopping over the weekend and have decided that I no longer want leather cause it just gets too cold for me.
6. The weightloss has been slow but consistent. 
7. There are some foods that I just can no longer eat anymore. period. This list grows little by little as I try new things. 
8. I can't take whole pills any longer without them getting stuck.

I had my gajillionth fill. Had a great one for a while, but in true form of the band, its full capacity effect virtually vanished over night. I am up to 6.5ccs and still losing at a steady rate. I work out 4-5 times a week, so I know that is adding immensely to my weight loss. It had been slow and I wont lie, at times I thought my band was a failure. Not so, I am just thankful that I hung in there. I am not one of the bandsters that will ever inspire anyone. My story is the result that I always feared.
