Lap Band ...

Those of you who know me know I just had the Lap Band (weight loss) surgery in Nov. of last year (approx 4 months ago). I've lost about 52 lbs... (whoo hoo for me) but have had a REALLY hard time recently losing weight... i've had 2 fills and neither one worked.. felt nothing at all. Very dissapointing. I've pretty much been not eating to lose weight (not healthy OR fun) lol

Well today I found out WHY i don't feel any different after a fill. See, I have a port in the middle of my stomach that is connected by a small tube to the band that is around my stomach that constricts my eating. WELL, lo and behold... THE TUBE IS NOT EVEN CONNECTED TO THE BAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is just dangling there, not connected to anything... so everytime i've got a fill, the juice has just went through the tube and into my stomach. NOT what I wanted to hear.

SOOOOO... I have to go back to Mexico and have surgery... AGAIN ...
