Heading into October

Posted 09-28-2008 at 10:57 PM by excarolinagirl
I've been researching WLS for a couple of weeks, still new to the game. I've been to two support groups, one surgeon appt., one LB class. And I still have a lot of questions. Spending a lot of time on this website, learning from others, helping others (with my minimal knowledge of the actual LB process). I still have a lot of questions about having WLS at all, restrictive (LB) vs. malsabsorptive procedure (like RNY). I think I am going to call my surgeon's office and ask to sit in on the RNY...

Thursday, 09.25.08

Thursday morning I got up and got ready to go into Dr. K's office for a checkup. Once there I ran into Tangeray who was having surgery the following Monday. She was surprised that I had jeans on but I guess I didn't think anything of it. It wasn't pushing up against anything so I was fine. Dr. checked in to see how I was and also gave me my lap band registration packet and all of his contact information as well as recommendations for the next fill and I was done....

The day after...

ok, so it's a few days after but today is the first day I've really had the energy to sit down and catch up.

My last post was on the 21st so I'll fill in what has happened since then...

Sunday, 09.21.08

The 21st was Sunday and I was eagerly awaiting surgery. I was also emailing some of the ladies that were having surgery during the week of the 23rd so that we could all meet up on Tuesday.

I was a zombie at work...

port revision!

Posted 09-28-2008 at 04:04 PM by bullpen87
Last two visits to the fill doc didn't go so well. Needle couldn't go into the port...wrong position. It figures. My luck. I asked doc how often this happens. He tells me he has done hundreds of band surgeries and that I am the third to need a port fixed. It figures. My luck. Doc's office contacts insurance as necessary to see if they will pay for procedure. I'm STILL waiting. It figures. My luck. Do I sound a bit down? Perhaps so. I'm about to come up on my year anniversary with the band (Nov 07)...
