Two pokes in as many days...

So as I said yesterday...I got a fill...

It well pretty well...

Other then the drainage from my sinus infection/cold thing that just WILL NOT go away!

Anyways...I went in...and it was confirmed by my LPN that I had lost 9.4 pounds in a month. That is my highest number to date.

I laid down on the tiny table and prepared myself for the cold cold cold spray and the long needle that would plung into my belly and fill up my AWESOME band!

My LPN added 2 ccs...I have to admit I was a bit shocked by this...I had 2ccs added last time and was hoping and PRAYING that I would get like .5ccs. I did the barium swallow and everything seemed fine.

I went home and tried to drink just some water...

Well that came RIGHT back up...I called my LPN in a panic, but during the hour I had to wait for her to get back from lunch I calmed down and realized I was taking too big of a drink.

So life went on...

Until today...I couldn't eat anything today. I was having a HELL of a time even getting down even a water based protein shake. It has been 24 hours of up and down....

Today I finally had enough...I took one spoonful of overly purred turkey chili and up it came...

I called my LPN again and this time she had be come up for an unfill. She took out .5ccs.

.5 ccs may not sound like a lot, but man...when that fluid came out it was like I could breathe again!

I know that seems weird, since the band is around my stomach but...I the change was amazing...

I am almost positive that the amount of the fill was not the problem...it is the drainage from the sinus crap...but I can't stop that, I can change the fill...

Getting a fill and then an unfill in a 30 hour period is P A I N F U L! Just sayin!
