Update!

Posted 09-23-2008 at 08:59 PM by Insky67 (Pass the butter please...)


I am now down 56 pounds...three months since surgery adn I am feeling great. Well...almost great! Have since learned that my gall bladder needs to come out! I don't know why it was never checked before my LAP-BAND® surgery...we could have taken it out then. The idea of surgery again so soon does not thrill me but the pain from the gallstones is AWFUL! If you are considering LAP-BAND® surgery or are scheduled for it make sure you ask your doc about your gall bladder.

So other...

How I'm doing...

Posted 08-19-2008 at 10:39 PM by Insky67 (Pass the butter please...)

I'm doing great! I had my surgery June 4th and have since had two fills. I am not filled to 5 cc's.

I have lost 48 pounds...gone down from a size 24 to a size 16 and the 16's are feeling loose.

I have tons more energy!!! My knees no longer hurt and I rarely have headaches...I used to have them every day and migraines a couple times a month.

All in all I just feel so much better and I am only half way to goal! I can't imagine how I will feel...

Fill Was OK

I had my first fill two days ago! My band was empty and my doc put in 4 cc's...it was too much so she back it down to 3.8 and I seem to be doing okay.

I don't feel hungry really...I have some head hunger but not too much real hunger. Today I will try to eat some real food so we will see how that goes.

As far as pain goes there was almost none. My doc does not numb you up first like some others so...which is okay with me. I'd rather get stuck just once. It was a teeny...

First Fill

Posted 07-14-2008 at 11:08 AM by Insky67 (Pass the butter please...)

Well tomorrow is my first fill. I am a little nervous. I am not worried about it hurting but I am worried about being tight and food getting stuck.

I had another episode where 2 bites of toast got stuck...and I had my first experience with "slime." I fully understand why it is called slime now....ewwwww it was gross!

It has been 39 days since my surgery and I am not teeting between 40 and 42 pounds lost. It just depends on what time...
