4 months

May 14, 2011

I now weight 205 lbs!!! I am so happy about all of my hard work I hope to see more of this good work and I also went from a size 22 to a size 14!! I want to go clothes shopping but I know it would almost be a waste of money because I am expecting more weight loss. So yesterday made i officially 4 months and I had my first fill yesterday because they had some issue when they where trying to locate it, so they did it under x-ray. All i can say is for all of you who say it don't hurt THAT A LIE. It hurt for me and I can take pain, tears was falling from my eyes as they inserted the needle. When they do put the liquid in you will feel your band get tight again. Then since I was under x ray they where able to show me what it looks like and have me drink some white stuff so they can see how it goes down. It was really interesting for me. My doctor was very impress with my weight loss mainly because I was still working off my first fill. Well my birthday is coming up soon and I hope to hit my goal before it, it would be my perfect birthday gift.

3 Months

Apr 15, 2011

So I am now three must in and down to 207lbs only 8 more pound until I can officially say I am out of the two hundreds!!!! I am so happy with the turn out, I have still been going to the gym three days out of the week and its has been paying off. I always get asked if I would do it again and I would say YES because I am learning how to eat better and why I need to work out. My fill was reschedule then again canceled and reschedule for the 13th of May. I makes it hard because I am hungry alot but i still eat small portions.

Thanks for all the support

Jan 14, 2011

Thank you everyone for all of the support and I know everyone is waiting to here how did everything go will

   -  I went in to 5 30 they checked me as normal (blood pressure, temp and etc) then have you take a pregnancy test b.c
         they want to make sure nothing is wrong.
   - I got an IV hooked up to me and a patch went behind my ear to help making me nausea
   - then they place the things on my leg for I would not get any blood clots.
   - The other doctor came in asked me about my family history because they wanted to know anesthesia
   - Then they gave me a little of the LA LA medication, and rolled me off to surgery
  - When I got there they had me all ready for surgery and gave me the full dose of the LA LA med and then when I
     woke up  I was in the recovery room. 
  
 Now i was not in ANY PAIN from the surgery I was just had to go to the bathroom contaly. Yet when I had to get up and sit down YES i was in pain, but when i was just sitting there I was fine. I drank alot of apple juice, water, so they let me go home. That was pretty much it. 

I am going back to rest some more, THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE SUPPORT!!! If you you all any questions please ask away.
