Fill

So on Monday the 23rd I got a fill to my lap-band.  I not have 2 1/2 cc's of saline in my band and I feel pretty good.  My weight loss is hovering right around 20lbs.  I am hoping to lose another 8lbs or so before my next fill in 6 weeks.

Other than the chest pain that goes all the way through to my back every once in a while, I feel pretty good.  I do need someone to rub the area of my back where the pain is a few times a week.  The pain is not bad, it's mostly annoying.  I am not sure if it means that something is stuck in my band or if it's just the pain of recovering from the surgery, because the pain is intermittent and also it stops when I eat.  I asked the doctor and he has never heard of these symptoms, so I am just taking it day by day.

I am totally looking forward to being lighter!!  I have been doing a bit of yoga and some belly dancing but boy does it hurt to exercise!  My body is really not used to moving as much and not eating very much.

So overall I feel great and it's a slow race to the finish line :)
