Let's Wait and See....Again
Went to the lap band doctor again today....the verdict? Let's wait and see AGAIN if the saline they put in this time is actually staying in and not slowly leaking out. Of course I was missing another 2 cc's today but she "thinks" that the missing saline might be in the tube connecting the port to the actual band. Or at this point she's just praying that it's ok so I don't sue.
A little information about the band- my band holds 14 cc's of saline at a time. The saline is what goes in the band through a port, the more saline, the tighter the band on the stomach. I currently as of today have 10 cc's in there and feel not much restriction when eating. I have been telling them for almost a year now that I have not felt any sort of restriction-finally a month ago they decided to look and see what was going on. At that time I was supposed to have a total of 11.5 cc's, when they took the saline out I only had 3. See the problem? They have no idea if the band is leaking or if the PA that puts the saline into my port missed EVERY time. Nice huh?
If I could do it over again I would do things differently. But as with all things in life we can't go back, so I'm trying to make a bad situation not so awful. Thank god I'm a pretty positive person overall or this would suck.
Nothing else going on today, I'm actively procrastinating doing my school work and it's always interesting to see what creative ways I can come up with to avoid it. Idea number one- write my first ever lengthy public entry! I'm a tad weary of putting my life out there for people too see, but since I'm pretty positive no one reads me I think I'm safe. In the event that someone reads me and is thinking about bariatric surgery- I would just hope me writing makes them take a harder look at their choice. Knowledge is power and the more you have the better.
Till next time folks.

So It Seems
That I will be posting twice tonight. Only because I have to say that this might be the most user unfriendly blog I have ever used. If anyone has some helpful tips please let me know.
Of course I'm pretty positive I am the only person that reads this so cheers!

It seems I have arrived.
So I'm sitting here on my iPad at almost 4am and I thought I'd give this blogging thing a try. A therapist recommend that I write down my feelings so really here goes nothing.
Mostly I'll write about my trials and tribulations associated with my lap band surgery that I had in May of 2011. I have had a lot of complications from it and am probably going to need a new surgery sometime this year.
Another big thing I'll talk about are my feeling about an accident that left my forehead pretty badly scarred that happen on July 2nd, 2010. I have some issues with PTSD relating from that accident.
Or I'll just bitch about my everyday life and see how that goes.
