1st Band Adjustment

Last Friday, my birthday, I went in for my first band adjustment. It was pretty uneventful and painless. Dr. Boyce did indeed insert saline into my band. I took it easy for most of the weekend, but never really felt anything different from the day before. In fact, since then I still haven't felt anything. I have virtually NO additional restriction. I called Dr. Boyce's office this morning to check in and told Sarah, the nurse, that I have no restriction. She said she'd talk to Dr. Boyce and told me to call back Wednesday. So I will. I don't know what the plan will be, hopefully another fill.

None-the-less, I continue to lose weight. I am now below 300 lbs (298 to be exact). I haven't weighed less than 300 lbs in 10 years. I feel great. I continue to work out regularly and feel that the exercise is the key to rapid success. I can do various cardio exercises at my target heart rate for 45 minutes now. That is a huge increase over a few months ago.

More later,
Marc
