fill on Thursday.....

I have an appointment on Thursday at 1:15....I will have to double check that. Anyone else have an appointment on Thursday?

 My next appointment will be July 5 on a Monday.  They offered me one sooner but it is a busy time of year at work and I really didn't want to use another sick day.  I will be on vacation in July.  I'm not doing great right now - still not losing and I know it is because of my food choices.  Wish we could make the trip together - maybe next time.  Good luck with your fill!

Good news - I had a colonoscopy done a week or so ago and the results were great - not just good but GREAT!  I admit I was a bit concerned but now I'm relieved to have had the test over and done with.

My contract allows me to go to appointments without using sick time. I am surprised yours doesn't. It is fairly standard on the civil service.

 Not for us - every trip I've made to Moncton has cost me a sick day.  We can accumulate 195 days - I will never see that before I retire in 3 or 4 years. We get 15 a year and right now I have about 65 days accumulated.  Oh well, as long as I don't need them for something big.

Under my contract, as long as it is a reqular appointment, as in not a procedure,  appointments are allowed without taking sick time, even if travel takes a full day. But if I were to need minor surgery or anything that required an admission, then it is a sick day. (I think I just set a record for a run on sentence.!!)

I'm going in on Monday at 2 for yet another unfill. 

I so wish I knew why I have had so much trouble. I only have 3 ccs in now and I still throw up every meal and the reflux is horrible. It's ironic that all my life I felt as if I failed at loosing weight with all the different programs I had been on.  Now, I have  had WS and......... (yeah I know Im having a major pity party ..just ignore it  it will pass hehehe)

I am terrified that I will gain 37lbs again like I did last summer when he unfilled me. I have a bit left to go to finish loosing that. Now, I did join Food for life, and I did have a week where I actually was able to keep each meal down, smaller portions of course, but I still kept it all down. and belive it or not, I lost 3 lbs the first week. Since then I have started throwing up again and I seem to have stalled on my weight loss again. Maybe I will be ok this time, as long as I have some accountability. FIngers crossed

The band can be tough when it wants to be....I  have had some bad times but not as rough as you are having it. I have been  open for a couple of months now and I have managed  not to gain much. It was zero until a couple of days ago. It isn't because I am being so good. It is because I have been walking / hiking like crazy. I have taken up Geocaching and it is a rare day when I don't walk a few kilometers through the woods, across swamps etc.
Too bad we are on different days because we could have traveled together. Maybe next time.
