Long time - Catch up
Feb 16, 2012
It has been a long time and i have not written in my blog and I wanted to catch up. My Surgery was performed in NY where my family lived, it made sense as I could recover there and plus my parents worked in the Hospital so I was in good hands.Everything was going well with my weight loss. I live in NH and was unable to find a Doctor in the area to take on my care. So if I wanted fills I would have to drive to NY where the doctor was and have it done there. Let me tell you that does not really work since you have to listen to your body and get fills almost every month. I ended up probably going down every 2 months. It was not a good thing but I was trying. I always remembered that after the fill that first week I would do great but then it seemed I always could eat more in a serving and not have a problem. By Feb of 2011 I was having a lot of problems with my band. According to the doctor the fluid was going down with no problems yet I could not keep anything down. I was frustrated and deflated and decided to have all the fluid removed. I wanted to take a step back.
The year of 2011 was going well. In the beginning my weight was stabilized, as I was still sticking to plan. However I started getting hungrier and as time went by my weight crept up. I gained the 40 pounds I lost back and then an additional 9. I tried to find a Doctor up where I lived to take me on as a patient, I found one close by but he would only do fills not speak with me. Then around October when I turned 40 my doctors office called and said if I wanted to try it again then they would see if they could find another doctor that I could get in their program.
I was directed to CMC's Obesity Center in NH and to a Dr. Robert Catania. I met with him and we discussed my issues and he took on my care. I went for updated tests as well as began seeing the Dietitian and the exercise physiologist and going back to post op meetings. They also have behavior modification classes that I am now taking.
I have had two fills since I started back in January. I am trying once again to follow the guidelines. I am listening more to m body.
Anyway that is what is up with me these days.
