Being Sick with a Lap Band

Ok while no one likes being sick, I have learned being sick with a Lap Band is really a pain.

Chest congestion is not fun with a band. Then if you are not used to taking meds with the band, you sometimes forget you can't take the horse size pills even if they are cut in half!

I go into my primary care doctor yesterday. He was pleased at the amount of weight I have lost. Puts me on some meds to get me to feeling well and wants me to take Vitamin D again. Saying that Vitamin D is why I am sick because I don't have enough! ugh.

Today, I went to see my band doctor. I did this because last night I got part of that horse size pill stuck! It was not a petty site at all. It would not go down and it did come back up at least but that hurt! Then when I got up today from a rough sleep last night my chest hurt right where my band sits! After a UGI in his office the band is fine and I am just irritated and the Dr. wants me on fluids only for a few days to calm things down. So glad that everything is still fine.

I need to get better before the 4th. I go out of town for my Young Women of my church and we are going to camp for the week! It was this very Young Women camp and serving them that made me want to change my life. You could say they saved my life in a way!

So down another 6.5 lbs today. Great weight loss since the 3rd of June so all and all I am doing great with that...just now I got to get over this summer time cold!
