and the frustration goes on

Jul 21, 2011

Well I just had my 3 month check up and having gained 16 lbs Dr Nease definitely wanted to give me a fill. However because I am close to the fill level that I last had a major complication at, esophagus dilation, he is worried about giving me too much fill and thus causing another esophagus dilation. So he added .25cc to give me a current fill total of 5.75cc. The aforementioned esophagus dilation occurred at 6.0 ccs in October 2010. The obstruction which I had in Oct 2009 was at 7.5ccs. I will have to fight to get back down to 180. My personal goal is 170 at which I would still be considered overweight, I would have to be below 160 to be considered "normal" weight. I don't think that is even possible. At almost three years post-op, I have still not reached goal and feel like I might never get there.
