So far, so good!

I went to my doctor yesterday and he does not think that I have any damage to my band considering the tightness I was experiencing. However, he did schedule me for an upper GI to put my mind at rest! He also took out 1 cc which brings me to 1.8 cc's in my 4 cc band. I am very happy to say that I was able to eat solid food yesterday for the first time in almost 2 weeks! The bad part is that I had virtually no restriction but I don't care, I so needed to eat again and to give all the swelling a rest. He wants me to wait at least 2 weeks before he puts back any of the fill and when he does, he is going to do it in tiny increments!

I'll be back later when I am more awake.

Mangia! Mangia!! Eat up little lady and enjoy being able to have some solids. I see dr. D on Monday. I honestly don't know if I need a fill or not. Sometimes I feel like I have restriction, sometimes I feel like I can eat a horse. So glad to hear you are feeling better though and made it back from New York safely!

That is great news. I am sure your upper GI will show all is ok. Having gone thru it myself I know how good it is to be able to eat again. I am a little surprised he didn't completely unfill you to give your esophagus a chance to rest and heal. But, he's the doctor, no me. LOL. Take care dear lady.
