Doctors Visit

Today was the last of my monthly visits with my surgeon. For the next year I will be going in every 3 months or as I need to if I need to see him sooner than that I can but all he is requiring is once every 3 months. As you can tell by the ticker up at the top I did lose a little more weight. My total since surgery is 113lbs! I was having some problems but did not realise that they were band related until I went in and talked to him about them this morning. One of those problems was choking/coughing fits in my sleep that a couple of times actually ended up with me throwing up in bed! Gross I know but I am nothing if not honest here about the stuff going on with my band. I had not really realised how little I was actually getting down with my food until this morning when I nearly passed out and was having a really hard time waking up and functioning. Passing out is something that has always terrified me as I live alone and who would know and what if I got hurt on the way to the floor? It was such a beautiful thing to have lunch today and not be burping like a winner in a belching contest. And then to keep down my lunch WOW that was AWESOME! As I look back on things I really should have gone in last week but just wasn't really thinking that things were happening because of the band. I thought it was because of the way I was eating or something not because the band was too tight. But that is what my surgeon said was causing the reflux and choking at night. So he removed a little of my fill which I was wanting him to do because after nearly passing out this morning I realised that something was amiss and needed to be fixed.I really have no idea anymore how much is in my band I think it is 3.2 or 3.3 but with all the fill/unfill/fill lately I can't keep track of it.
today I have enjoyed my food for the first time in a while. Heck I have even enjoyed my drinks which sad to say I didn't even enjoy my drinks much lately because I couldn't just swig down a sip without it coming back up. You would think that that would have been a clue to me but I just didn't clue in to it. Not that I eat regular candy bars anymore but it was cute and I do indulge every once in a while in a sugar free one.
Anyway thing are going well with the weight loss and I will get some measurements posted in the near future I promise. AND some pictures of me in my new Hairdo! I have bangs Mom! My hair is not short but definitely shorter.
