OCT 7th 2009 Slip Self Fixed! Yesss

Oct 08, 2009

OK, so here's where I'm at.. To make a long story short, I am banded almost 3 years, had my last fill back in June of '07, was a little overfilled and had some out.  Felt fine since, just lately felt a little out of the loop and had gained back about 8lbs, always remember continue to WEIGH YOURSELF, that weight finds us quickly!  So decided to go see my Doc and get the GI X-Ray done just to confirm all is well with my band.  WELL, that wasn't the news I got on Sept. 14th, after seeing the X-ray my doc told me I had a slight slip, nothing like WAKE UP CALL, I don't have insurance for this...Anyway was put on liquids for 3 weeks, wow......but doable when you put your mind to it and take your VITAMINS, and went Monday back to Doc's and my band and I are back to PERFECT!!!!  Amazing the difference in the X-rays and the size of my stomach above the band before and really I had NO stomach above the band on Monday, so I am now back on food......YESSSS, but really need to be back on track!!!  THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY BAND, I know so many people that have had the by-pass and once they stretch their pouches, there's no fixing it... I LOVE MY BAND, I could never say it enough... So, what have I learned...... Boy I hope and pray I've learned from this, but then again, I have this disease and obsession with JUNK FOOD, but I have learned... FIRST OFF... when the scale is moving in the wrong directions, don't wait, CALL YOUR DOC, don't be embarrassed like I was!!!    Secondly.... Stay in touch with a means of support, like OH,  I totally slack on this board and it truly does help.  Thirdly.... Measure your food, ALWAYS.. and FOURTHLY... I am now going to make sure I visit my Doc at least 2 times a year, if not 4 times!  Until he invents that BRAIN BAND that I'm waiting on, I need to stay in tune with my addiction!!!  Thanks everyone for always being here!!  I'll be in touch, its a part of my new commitment.  It is FOOTBALL season though and MINGUS is kicking butt!!!  GO MINGUS!!!!
