3 Months In...

May 08, 2010

Yesterday I had a good Dr. visit.  Only 2 lbs. down since my first fill but the best is yet to come, right?  Dr. Mahdavi was covering the office while Dr O is recuperating from back surgery.  The nurse said Dr M was the assisting Dr on my surgery although I never met him.  I was very pleased with his demeanor and he gave me a lot of information.  Who knew I had a Standard AP  10cc band.  My first fill was 2.5cc.  Dr M gave me a 1.5cc fill but unfilled .5 about 20 minutes later when I was uncomfortable with the prospect of being too tight over the weekend.  It was during this procedure that he found I had about .5cc residual in the band from surgery.  So they are counting 3.5cc when actually he unfilled 4.5 and put back 4ccs.  Note to self: no more Friday fills.  That would have been a very long weekend if I could barely swallow my own spit.

I really like the staff at the Orange office.  The nurse was very helpful and told me about a class with the NUT coming up this Monday.  I am looking forward to getting more info and support.  The daytime class is a plus for me so it is worth the 40 minute drive from the foothills.

Slow but steady!  A trip to the Podiatrist this Weds. for my heel spur will hopefully get me back on my feet and able to burn a few more calories.
