Surgery #2 and halfway to goal!!
Well...my stomach was still having these wierd mystery pains I can't really describe and it's worse when I work out or exert myself. So, needless to say, the last two weeks I figured I better take some more time to heal. Workouts have been cardio only and have been shorter due to the pressure/pain in my stomach.
Today I went to the doctor for him to fill my band back up only to find all the puking has ripped my port out of the stomach muscle where it was hooked/sewn in. I have to have it repaired Tuesday at 10am. I've been warned there may be damage to my stomach he may need to repair and he has to move the port. I'm not looking forward to this, but hoping he only has to resecure the port and there is no damage. Best case scenario I can return to work in a few days. Either way, the gym is out for a while again and I'm pissed!
Oh well...it dawned on me today that I am HALFWAY through my weight loss goal. I was shooting for approximately 120-130lbs of loss. Since March I've lost 66lbs! 41lbs of that loss has been since the lap band. I'm SO glad I did this for myself! I'm still happy about it!!
