small unfill

Went to see Dr Rosen today, and I had him take out 1cc of my fill. I have been having heartburn really bad on most days, and as time was going by I was having trouble getting down my liquids. Water even gave me heartburn. I then would have several days and no heartburn. Well last night I was asleep and was awoken when I guess I burped not sure but the water I drank just before going to bed came up and it burned my throat and I was chocking on it. I then decided time to tell doc please take some out. He was trying to decide how muck we needed to remove or if I should go to hospital for a study to see if there was any damage. I said lets try the unfill then we can go from there. 
Well let me tell ya the throat pain was gone almost right away and now completely gone. I have drank about 100 ozes of water 2 coffees and even enjoyed lunch ( Italian beef 1/2 of what Bunoa Beef puts on a 5 in sand but no bread, and about 3 pcs of the fresh fruit cup. I then was able to eat dinner with out slimming. I got full at 1/2 cup minus a small amount so I believe restriction is perfect! 
On a better note though I lost 12 pounds in 11 weeks! I am at the 45% mark of the 47% projected weight loss after getting the band. Joey said I need to start thinking about a goal weight!  I also receive a flu shot while at support group tonight! I was so scared to get it, but the needle in the stomach is a piece of cake!

Christina it was really great seeing you tonight! Someday when I come up and your free I would love to go and sit with you so we can get to really know each other. You are so sweet and kind. 

OK just want to share my day so there it is in a nut shell!  LoL!

Hi Karen -
You are doing an amazing job girl.  I'm so proud of you.  I went and had blood work done at 6am this morning.. UGH.  They said they will have all the results except the Vit D level which may take a few days.  Although I was a blubbering mess last night, I mentally feel better just knowing that I may be heading in the right direction with the fatigue I'm having.  At least we can compare labs from three months ago to now and determine a plan of attack.  I'm going to call and see if I can pop in for a B12 shot and hopefully a flew shot if they can do them both at the same time.  Thanks for listening to me.  I do appreciate your support.
I would love to meet up before a meeting for dinner or coffee..  Just say the word!

HUGS,
Christina

Thanks for the compliment! I was worried about you. Please let  me know how it all turns out. I feel that now the Doc R knows whats up though you are on your way   to getting your energy back.  When you start to feel like getting your head up that small amount of weight you gained will just disappear and then you will be back on track. I researched your stats last night and really if you were going to work at all you were lucky. Girl I don't know how you were just taking the journey to the potty every day! 
We could maybe go over to the Panera Bread by doc's office before a meeting, thats about the only place I know in this area. I wish I knew where a Starbucks was close by. But since I do not have a since of direction I kinda stay in this area!!! Yea I drive for  living but I get turned around so easy! Well good luck and I'm praying you get to feel good soon!
