Well I had another fill since having some removed.  My last fill was Aug 26 and it seems to been helping with restriction.  I an eating much less than I was a year ago and now weigh 250 lbs.  I have had some trouble in the last 2 weeks but is getting better now.  I think I ate something that got stuck or didn't agree with my band.  But I have worked to minimize the pain so I didn't have to have some fluid removed and have been able to continue lose lbs.  My personal goal was to get to 250 lbs and maybe 230 lbs.  I've reached the 250 lb mark and want to go for a full weight lost of 100 lbs.  To accomplish that I need to get to 230 lbs which shouldn't be a problem at this rate but I just might not make it within my 1 year period but I not giving up.  I have about one month to go. 

Well I'm down to 270 and my band is giving me some trouble since my last adjustment.  Everything had been fine until that point.  I've been loosing about 5 lbs a month feeling a little restriction.  After my last adjustment in June, I haven't been able to eat much of anything or drink without getting sick.  I think the band is too tight.  I went back to have some fluid removed and it still seems too tight.  I was hoping this last fill would work out but I think I will need to have some more fluid removed.  I like the wieght loss rate but I still need to get enough water and protein in to be healthy.  I don't think that's happening since my last visit.  Hope to get this resolved soon.  

I had surgery on 11/19 (four days ago).  I went in at 7:15am.  Doc was a little late and I didn't start until 9:45 am.  I was out approximately 11:00am and was discharged 12:15 pm.  I must say that everything went well.  I was a little sore for the next two days but continue to get better everyday.  I'm surprised that I have been able to maintain the clear liquid diet without feeling extremely hungry.  I get hungry but a few ounces of liquid usually feels me up.  Unbelievable.  I'm looking forward to getting back to eating regular foods.  I feel that I now have the will power and TOOL to manage my meal sizes.  I am looking forward to meeting my weight goals.  I know I still have a long way to go but this is a good start and feeling.   

I went for my preop yesterday.  Weight was 328.   Everything went fine and I am ready to have surgery next week.  I have began to change my eating habits so hopefully it won't be so hard after surgery.  Its not been as hard as I thought it would be.  Hopefully it continues to stay that way.
