1/7/09 I feel discouraged

Jan 07, 2009

I was seen by the APRN who does our fills yesterday and left his office feeling more discouraged than when I went in.   Basically it's the same problem I've had for months now.  I'm filled over capacity with this band and have no room left to go any further.  It's not that I'm ready for another fill yet, but the time will come when I'm loose again and I won't be able to do a damn thing about it.  My weight has been pretty stable since my last visit despite the fact that the scale read that I had gained 2 pounds.  This doesn't really bother me because I consistently gain and lose the same 3 pounds over and over.  This means my weightloss is really at a stall.  The APRN suggested maybe he can speak with my surgeon to see if they can give me a different band considering it hasn't even been a full 2 years out yet and I'm already over capacity.  They'd have to come up with a reason to give that would make my insurance company pay for the new band though.  Good luck with that!  The only thing left to do now is low carb it and exercise.  I've already started the exercise back up, but I absolutely hate low carb diets.  I'm not a meat fanatic.  Anyway, I'm allowing myself to grieve right now and then it's back on the bandwagon.  This sucks!
