Well, last weekend I started having pain behind my belly button that would not go away. Monday I called and they sent me for a CT scan which showed that I had a hernia so I met with my surgeon today and he decided that it extremely small and the pain has stopped so he wants to just watch it and if it gets worse then he will do surgery. I am glad that I don't have to go through surgery again but really hope it doesn't get worse. I will keep a close eye on the area. I have lost another 6 lbs since my fill 2 weeks ago so my total is now 81 lbs. Very happy with that.

Well, I went to the Dr today and got another fill of .3cc for a total of 5.7 in my 10cc band. I usually have pretty good restriction for up to 4-5 weeks and have made appointments the last few times for 6 weeks so my next one is 5 weeks away and we'll see how that goes. I have lost another 10 lbs and only have 25 more to go to acheive my next goal of 100 lbs by my birthday in July so cross your fingers. I had some lab work done to see how my #'s were after my weight loss and I was not impressed. I really need to start exercising extensively. I think that would help. Will post again after next appointment unless something happens before then.

Well I finally went in today and desparately did need a fill (except for the mornings) I was extremely tight in the mornings until about 10-11 am. I only got .4cc for a total now of 5cc in my 10cc band. I met my first goal of 50 lbs by Christmas and now am setting a goal of down 100 lbs by my birthday wich is in July. I lost 11 lbs in the last 6 weeks wich is not the best but I'll take it and hopefully I will kick butt in the next 4 weeks before my next fill. I have not been sticking the protein and water as well as I'd like to but I am back on track and hope to stay that way. I did not gain any weight during the holidays but I know the majority of the 11 lbs I lost was before Christmas and have pretty much stayed at the same weight since than.

Well, I cancelled my appointment today because I really don't think I need a fill and did not want to pay a $25 copay to use their scale. If my scale is right I have lost another 7 or 8 lbs which puts me real close to my 50 lb mark. I will probably stop down at the clinic in the next couple of days and weigh myself because I really only want to go by one scale, then I will post my weightloss then. My next appointment is now scheduled for Jan 10th and I really don't want to wait that long for my weigh in.

I went in today for my fill and was given .4cc giving me a total of 4.6cc in my 10cc band. I lost 1.5 lbs in the last 6 days from my last appointment for a total of 44 lbs to date. I'm pretty happy with that. My first goal was to lose 50 lbs by Christmas but I hope to reach that goal much sooner.

I forgot to post yesterday after my appointment. Well I lost another 5 lbs down a total of 42.5 now. I was going to get a fill but just started bloating, cramping for that TOM so we decided to wait until Monday because of the swelling thought it would be better. Would hate to get a fill and then end up way too tight on Thanksgiving and not able to get in for an unfill because they are closed.

Well I had my first PBing incident last night!! Was not pleasant at all. I had a buffalo wing and must not have chewed enough because it got stuck and I have had things get kind of stuck but always went through. This one though would not budge I did not do alot of heaving (thank god) but after a couple it was up and I was fine. What a lesson to learn. I have read so many people's blogs and was so grateful I had not gone through that yet and I sure hope I don't go through it again. Just thought I'd share. I go in on Tuesday for a fill but not sure if I will need one or not but who knows I will blog with weightloss and whether or not I get a fill then.

I went in for my appointment today and lost another 4.8 lbs in 2 weeks. I wasn't sure if I needed a fill or not because I was able to go 4 hours without getting hungry but I did think I was eating too much during meals. I was able to eat 2 eggs and a piece of toast which she said I could probably could use a fill so I got another 1cc and now have 4.2cc in my 10cc band. My original goal was to loose 50 lbs by Christmas but I am going to try to do by Thanksgiving!! We'll see if I can. They were able to use the normal adult cuff when they took my blood pressure which has not been used in years!! I was very happy!!!

I went to Dr's today and thought I would get a fill but they did not think I needed on. I lost 7.5 lbs in the last 3 weeks and have not really been all that hungry so I made another appointment for 2 weeks instead of 3 and she said if I need to get in before that they could work me in. We'll see how it goes.
