Almost to onederland and scope time!?

Hello Lovely Ladies!! As you can tell I have been seriously neglecting my blog. I plan to try and change this!! I want to post weekly, this month has been so crazy. Sick children, to not moving which I am pretty happy about!! And christmas... just busy. On the positive my wieght is at an all time low and I hit my goal of 50 lbs down this week. I right now as of this morning weigh in at 203.7:) Pretty excited about it. I want to be under 200 by new years!!! Onderland here I come!!!! On the negative end, which I dont even like to talk about, it gets my anxiety going. I might have to have a scope this week or next. Anyone else have this done? I have been battling heartburn every month since Ive been banded, always the same time of month, the week before my period. I have only had unfills never a fill yet- at 2 cc's, but doing great with my weight so no complaints there. But just recently this month I had what started feeling like heartburn but turned into a burning stabbing radiating pain right under mysternum, that would not go away with anything!! It was the most deabilitating (sp) pain I have ever had. This christmas weekend I had it off and on fri thru sat. So I have really been paying attention to what I eat and etc. seeing if there is any links to why or what would cause it. I told my Dr about it and he thinks it could be possible that its an ulcer, or it could be band related. Im just so nervoues to find out what is going on. But also very anxious because I am terrified of the pain returning. So my anxiety is kinda kicking in. Enough of the negative, lets hope for an ulcer and a quick easy fix. Hope everyone had a great christmas and looking forward to a happy new year!! xoxoxoxoxo

  1. Congrats on hitting the 50 lb mark and onederland is very very near!!!
    I have never been scoped since having surgery but have in the past, its not bad and from what others said it's not bad either, put the brave face on and get it done so you can get some help with the issues your having!

  2. Hey Brooke! You're getting close to onederland! congrats. I'm down 50 lbs too but still a ways away from the 100's. I wanted to let you know that there is NOTHING to being scoped. It is seriously no big deal at all. I know this because I worked in endoscopy for nearly 3 years. It starts and finishes before you even know it and the sedation is great. You won't remember squat once it's over. Better to have a couple minutes of that and know what's going on in that belly of yours, than to keep suffering because you're being a scaredy cat about a procedure that could end all the issues you've been having. Get it over with. If they want to do it, let them. You're gonna be just fine!

  3. You're doing great with your weight loss!

    I've never been scoped so I'm afraid I'm no help there. I was having off and on pain in the sternum area and it turned out to be gallstones. I hope it all works out for you.
