"Filling" In
I had another fill today. This brings me up to 8.5 in my Band. At the office, I was down to 277.4, a loss of 2.5 pounds since my last fill 3 weeks ago. So things seem to finally be moving. I've decided to use the clinic weight as my "official" weight, because our scale here seems to be a bit flaky. The scales at the clinic are finely calibrated to 1/10th of a pound, so I'm going to use those. I'm thinking they're a bit more reliable than the Target clearance-aisle scale I have here - the one that is frequently jumped on by my boys and has sadly seen more than its share of over-flowing bathwater.
I made a graph with my stats that should update dynamically every time I add new data. It's probably about time for some pictures, too! What do you think? Is anyone still out there? I think I'm just now getting the hang of this band thing....

Sounds like you are doing great! Congrats!
It's taken me a while to get the hang of this band thing too! My op date was in February 2007, and from what I can gather, things are a little different in Australia than they are over there. I have an SAGB, not a lap-band, and the doctors don't do fills until 2 - 3 months after the surgery date, then only 1 - 2 ml a month after that... so it has taken me till now to get a grand total of 5.75ml in my band, and I have lost over 25kg (about 55 pounds) and am now down to 124kg (273 pounds). Frustrating as it is, once the weight starts to move it is really worth it!
Sounds like you are taking control of your life and destiny. Keep it up girl I'm routing for you and yeah on the PCP helping you out with the insurance, that should relieve some of the not needed stress in your life!
