I had my second adjustment today. Dr Minkin put in 1cc. He told me I am doing great! He said that The band is only doing 50% of the work! I have an Inmed 10cm band. At his office I weighed 320~!

I had my first adjustment this morning. The flouroscope was so very cool. Dr. Minkin put in 1cc. I feel really tired today. Maybe from the nervousness, and maybe becaue of work stress.
I am on liquids only today, mushies tomorrow, and then back to regular rules on Friday. Chew, 4-6 oz. Stop when I first feel full. No liquids 2 hours after meals.
My port is very deep. My next adjustment will need to be flouro also. Dang... those cost $800 a pop.

Dr Minkin says my inscison was not infected, bu that I had a reaction to the dissolvable stitches. It is lookin much better, I am using lots of vitmain E, just like my granny taught me.
According to The drs' scale I weigh 441.
I joined 24 hour fitness. I really like it. I walk at my target heart rate for 30 minutes, jog in the pool. I even took a yoga class. It was GREAT.
I go for my first adjustment with the Flouroscope on wednesday.
