MAD AT ME!!!
Feb 06, 2009
Well, my last post tells of my plans to go in and have a fill cause I "sure needed one". (I was able to eat everything, even yummy fluffy rolls. ) That was not the case when I went to see my surgeon. He took a look at my band under flouro and saw that my pouch was enlarged. He said I was too tight?!?!?!?! and my pouch has stretched. I only had 2 fills before that appt. So, he took out some fluid (about 2cc, I then had less fluid in my band then I had at surgery) and sent me home. He wanted to see me back in 3-4 weeks. Well, life happened (moving, back surgery,5 hour drive, etc...)and I never made it back in until yesterday. I really didn't think I needed a fill, but thought maybe a little tweek would help. Well, he looked at my pouch, again under flouro and TOOK MORE FLUID OUT!!! My pouch was the size of a small grapefruit, when it should be the size of a golf ball! With more fluid out of my band I thought for sure I'd be eating everything in the house today, but I'm not! Feeling the same as I did before he took fluid out. He wants to see me back in 2-3 weeks to make sure my pouch has gone down, because if it doesn't, he will have to go back in (surgery)and place the band where it is supposed to be. On the flouro, it looks as if the band has slipped down my stomach. There is more stomach above the band then below it.:( I think this has everything to do with me!!! Not eating slowly, not eating small bites, trying to fit in a few more bits cause it tastes sooo good, and not chewing enough. NOW, I'm trying to eat small amount SOFT foods and really paying attention to how I eat, like I should have all along. I'm praying that when I go back in for my next appt. that my stomach will be back down to where it is supposed to be. Please pray for me! If you are a lapbander, FOLLOW THE RULES FOREVER!!! Take it from me, they are there for a reason!!!! And I know all your RNYer's are saying' "Ya see...that's why I didn't have lapband!!"LOL
Be Blessed!
