Anyone else have an appointment tomorrow?

I have am appointment at 1:00 tomorrow. Unfortunately, I won't be able to meet anyone for coffee because I have to be back in Freddy for 6 o'clock. I have high hopes that this will be a successful fill. It won't give me full restiction, but I hope it makes a difference for a week or so. I am so ashamed of the amount of flabb I have gained. I am so glad Lise is not there to scold me....but perhaps I would smarten up if she were there.

I think your loss is incredible, it's only been 1.5 yrs..   over 80 lbs shed is amazing!

Besides that, you have had so many issues with no restriction, etc.  -- consider yourself a success!  From almost 300 lbs down to almost 200 lbs is a great accomplishment.

You're rocking it   = )

I am not 80 pounds down at the moment. I have deliberately not changes my ticker, because I don't want to discourage myself any more than my tight clothes already have. I have had several unfills- once I was totally emptied- even the prime was removed. It took about 6 months to get back to restriction. Then I was over full and had to have another unfill. This up & down has been going for months. If I were to add up all the pounds lost, I would be at goal & beyond, but I have gained after every unfill. I fact that I had really good restriction before my band decided to be finicky is the only thing that keeps me trying. If I ever thought that the band was going to do the work for me, I no longer have any such illusion.
Thanks for the encouragement.

I do feel bad that you're having such a difficult time with your band.  I saw before on the forums, that you were looking into a possible revision to sleeve?  (I think).
Have you been able to talk to them about that?   If Dr. B. won't do it, maybe Dr. Savoie will, I'm not sure.  One year older, shouldn't be much of a deterrent, especially where you are already a patient of his, and he has seen your weight fluctuating.  You've proven you're a fighter, and have the ability to lose weight and stay dedicated.  Even moreso than people who just continue to lose.

Either way, whatever the outcome is - you have a wonderful outlook on things, just from reading your posts.  Keep positive, everything will fall into place for you.  
It's refreshing to see someone so honest, about how much hard work this will be.  Scary, because I'm pre-op, but realistic and honest. 

I'm very appreciative that you are brave enough to share your struggles.  We have all, or will all be feeling exactly like you do sometime along our journey.
