Half-way mark!

Dec 31, 2007

Since my port revision, I went back for a slight unfill, then went back and had it put back in. I'm at 1.5cc. I am pretty restricted, and can only eat small amounts of certain foods.
I'm happy as a clam!
I'm down to 255lbs as of today. My doctor's office said I started at 323 I think, but I actually started before they weighed me at 333lb. So that's 78lbs!!
My goal is 180lb, so that's 75lb more to go. 
I'm super happy, losing consistently.

I hope to reach my goal by December of 08. We shall see!
I added some new pictures to my profile.

Update- Revision Surgery!

Oct 10, 2007

Just thought I should update my story!
In September I went for my 4th fill, feeling no restriction still. (Well, not 'no' restriction, but not what I thought I should have).
I was poked and prodded, then they did a fluero to watch it go in, and it didn't go in!!
I cried a little, I knew I'd become a statistic. They said it looked like my tube or port had a leak.
So time for new surgery :(
On Sept. 21 I had revision surgery to replace the port. Once they got in there, they realized my port had FLIPPED AROUND COMPLETELY! So I was never getting any fills, and the original fill he put during the 1st surgery was still there!
So they flipped it back, and moved it between my breasts so that it doesn't move (it was in my belly somewhere). And stitched it extra well!
They filled it again while I was under, and I finally have restriction. I had finally learned the post-op pre-tightness bandster eating rules.. and now I'm having to relearn them for RESTRICTION. I got stuck an aweful lot the first week, but I'm slowly getting better. Trial & error.
I'm still losing weight, slowly but surely.
