Back from Moncton.....

And I know nothing....as far as a revision goes. I didn't even see the Great One!  My fill was done by Dr Roy (Mrs Great One). I really like that women. She took the time to listen to my frustrations. She also went over my  fill & unfill history, from the start. She said that I was a long way from doing a revision. I told her that my preference is for the band to work as it should. It is just that I need to know that if the band fails me, there is still hope. She said that she would talk to him about it. 
In the end she only put in .5 cc. I now have a total of 7cc. in there. She doubled my Pantoloc & added another medication to be taken at each meal. I go back in a month.

I still have a month before my next appointment; I better get more than .5 cc`s! I was really hoping you would have some insight to offer us on revision.

I know that I need to up my exercise again; I have become to lax in that respect. That in addition to not great food choices and no restriction make an unholy trinity! lol!!

I feel that the band has worked for me for the most part. I just can`t seem to find that sweet spot and that has been an issue. I hope things work out for you Charlene.

Darn.. I thought about you all day today.  I thought you'd have more answers...
Glad that they think you can do this with what you have, and get it to work for you!
I hope your new fill is your sweet spot : )

I'm disappointed at my lack of answers too. I am not sorry I saw Dr Roy. She is a sweetheart. I really needed to ***** & neither of the nurses had a moment to talk to me. I didn't even get to sit down in the office before or after weigh-in. (You talk about your bad news!)  I didn't realize how anxious I was about the band continuing not to working- when I was talking I could hear the anxiety in my voice. I know I sounded upset, but I could not change it. Thank goodness I was not weepy- one tear & you lose all credibility. I won't hit the sweet spot with this small fill, but I agree that if this is going to work, the fills have to be gradual, & I need to be extra careful about the rules. I should kick the coffee, but I'd have to be suicidal to do that!!
Does the struggle ever end?  I know that when I start to up-chuck, I need to call immediately, but I am loosing weight, I am not hungry, & for a while, it in only once a day- one makes excuses. I just hope I am smart enough not to put off calling if I have future problems.  Besides, going to the clinic is preferable to the emergency room.

Sorry you had a less than "ideal" appt. Think positive and hopefully that 0.5cc will make a difference for you! Have a great weekend!
