7/17/09 I'm baaaack!

Jul 17, 2009

I haven't posted on my blog in a long time because I really didn't have much to tell.  I've slowly begun to gain weight and I've noticed my summer clothes getting tighter.  Instead of letting this happen and sitting back to watch it, I decided to call and make an appointment with the APRN.  He checked the fluid in the band and determined that .4cc's had seeped out.   For someone like me this is alot of saline considering I'm past the amount the band was designed to hold.  He put the saline back to the  4.4cc's I was at.  I was able to pass the water drinking test before I left the office.

Since my appointment earlier this afternoon I've attempted to eat soup and drink water.  I've been in and out of the bathroom since my attempts to consume anything.  I keep getting stuck.  Saliva keeps building in my mouth causing me to need to spit often so I can't go too far from the toilet.  Right now I'm too tight, but I wonder if it's like this just for the first day.  This has happened once before, but it only lasted a day.  I'm going to wait until tomorrow to find out if I need to go in to get more fluid taken out.  Meanwhile I hope I lose the weight I gained.
