Forward one step, back two

May 14, 2008 17:23

Well, it turns out that the fill was FAR too tight.  I ended up PBing some 14 times before I finally was able to get loosened this afternoon.  I looked like some sort of dang hick wandering around with a spit cup.  Fun.

It seems that I cannot correctly feel the difference between a working restriction and a complete stoppage.  This means that I am giving the doc bad info -- therefore all my fills from this point will have to be under fluoro.  Fun, that's an extra expense I wasn't figuring on.

Before this last fill I had 6.5 cc in the band.  I was swollen so bad that the doc had to pull back to 5.5 to open me up again, so I'm losing ground (and $250!) this week.  Bummer, but so be it.  I'll be back next week or so for the right fill.

Keep on keeping on.
