I’ve never enjoyed hearing the atmospherics at work so much before! I know that 99.9% of ya’ll don’t know what that means and I’m not going to really explain it… I’ve been working 6 12 hour shifts a week for the past month or so. Needless to say, I’m tired, exhausted really… Now I just [...]

Getting used to Restriction
Posted in lap-band, realize band on March 31, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Well it finally happened, I’m tight! After countless fills ( I think I’m at #13) I finally have achieved the restriction that everyone raves about. Fill after fill, I just didn’t get to that “spot”. My portions would be small, but as soon as I started drinking water again, my pouch would clear. I would [...]
Frustration and Worry

When I decided to get banded, my decision was two fold. First, I wanted to get healthy and Second, I hoped that if I was successful my father would consider getting banded too. Well, I’m healthy so the first mission is accomplished, now I’m leaning on my dad. I wish I could make him want [...]

Hubby came home yesterday, he’s doing great, thanks for the comments guys. We went out for his Birthday tonight. In the past week, we have been out to eat on 2 occasions. On both occasions I have been able to eat until I’m full. I’m not talking about my pouch getting full. My stomach is [...]

Ok, time to let it bleed… Thanks She for the idea. I’m incredibly allergic to aspirin and all NSAIDs, guess it works out good for me since you’re not supposed to take them with the band. Lets just pray I never get arthritis… I’m allergic to pineapple and kiwi, which really sucks because I love [...]
My Own Little Pity Party

Yep, that’s right, I’m having my own little pity party. Why you may ask, lets count the reasons: My husband has been in Michigan for over 2 weeks now. His dad had open heart surgery and has had to have 2 emergency surgeries since. The last one is going on right now. He was on [...]
Doing the Headwork
Posted in lap-band, pain, tagged headwork, lap-band on November 29, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I was a self-pay patient. In January I shelled out roughly $14K for my surgery. I was doing so good. My motivation was top notch. I was following all the rules, exercising, living the lap-band life. Then it happened, I hit the wall, I stopped exercising, started drinking with my meals, eating crap all the [...]
Cut off

I think my doc has officially cut me off from fills. Everytime I get a fill, I immediately schedule an appointment for my next fill. Well, this time they wouldn’t let me! They said they didn’t want to see me back for 3 months. I can still call and request a fill, but that takes [...]

Indy really suits him, he already has the same model gun indy carries and everything. All he needed for the costume [...]
