I Have a Lump in my Throat...and NOT in a Good Way! :-(
Aug 17, 2009
...and I'm sure many of you can relate!
It's been a while since I posted here but I have checked in occasionally. Since I had my surgery back on 3/3 I've been doing fine & have lost 77 lbs. to date. However, I'm wondering if perhaps I'm being "over-filled." I go to my doc once a month and he's given me a fill every time I've gone (the first fill was 3 cc's and every subsequent one was 1 cc.) Does this seem like a lot of fills to anyone else out there? I know some of the women at my support group say they haven't been filled in 2-3 visits. Then, I'm thinking maybe he's giving me so many fills because I have a LOT of weight to lose... I was filled this month on 8/5...and over the weekend food got stuck (painfully so...to the point of vomiting...nothing violent but nonetheless not fun!) OFTEN...and I never had this problem before. So, I'm thinking that I might have too much restriction and that when I go in Sept., I'm going to ask him not to fill me. My doc is very nice, so communication is not a problem (why do we sometimes think our drs. are psychic? We have to TALK TO THEM!
Thanks for listening! Hope everyone is doing well & staying cool!

Yes, I agree we sound much alike. Hope all is well with you.

Thanks so much for all the well wishes! My banding date (what am I, a pigeon?) is on 3/3 and I am ready...just want to get it over with!! I turn the big 5-0 the next day and am considering my band my first present!
Hey...I have a question...may seem silly, but...since we have to grind up our food, could we not just eat baby food during that "stage?" Or not enough nutrients?
Just wondering.
Take care all,
S.
