My New Beginnings

5th Fill - March 26, 2008

After this fill (5th one) I have finally found some restriction. I'm hoping that it is the sweet spot that I've read so much about.

I've also joined a gym and can actually feel myself losing inches. FINALLY!!

Two months

Well...I'm two months post op and one week post first fill.

So far I feel like I did pre-surgery. I'm holding steady at the 20 lb loss and am seriously looking forward to seeing the days when it starts to fall off.

I went for my first fill last week with Dr. Erbella and it was easier than I thought it was going to be, however, I had a hemotoma (pocket of fluid) above my port site that he had to suck out with a needle. It's left a bad bruise on my tummy. He wants...

Feeling old pangs

Posted 11-24-2007 at 09:52 PM by Tralynn222
I'm not quite two wks post op today. I'm beginning to feel like my old self again..you know the one, food consumed. It seems to be all I think about again and I'm praying for help.

I can't eat like I used to, which is the whole reason I had this surgery..is to help me from myself. I pureed some chinese food tonight for dinner and ate too much of it. I suffered all evening with uncomfortableness. I'm hoping to remember that feeling tomorrow when I want to do it again.

Finally..I'm banded

Going back to Tues-Nov 13th. My DH and I arrived at Manatee Mem. Hospital at 6:30am. We were sent to the 2nd floor where they were waiting to prep me. After being poked and prodded with all kinds of needles and IV's....they finally took me to the OR about 8:30.

Once in the OR...they had me get off the gurney and step up onto the lounge type bed where she said that they would be putting my feet up into holsters. All the nurses were so friendly and made me feel completely at ease....

Twas the night before....

Twas the night before my surgery.....and the last day of this liquid diet. It wasn't as bad as I had envisioned but yesterday had to be the worst of it. I was super emotional and very hungry. But it passed and I survived it.

Today I went for my Pre-op appt and had an EKG, a chest X-ray and an ultrasound on my legs. I passed them all with flying colors. I picked up my prescriptions, which included, liquid pain medication, Ranitidine for acid reflux and some suppositories for nausea....
