Tighter than a two dollar hooker

Wait, that's probably not very tight, but it's alliteration so it works for me. What is REALLY tight is my band. I have about 4cc's total and my last fill was in April (a couple of weeks before my one year bandiversary). I did not have much restriction until my third fill, which wasn't until February of this year... almost eight months post op. Why did I do that? I don't have a great answer except that I want my band as a back up plan. Anyway, my point about being tight... the reason I don't want any more fill is because I can't imagine this tight any tighter. I have days where I can eat... like three pieces of pizza... but then I have days like today when I can't even get ice cream down (yes, I've been trying... hard...), and this is just the norm for me. It's how my band works, or maybe how I work my band. Everyone is so different and I love to know what works and doesn't work for other people, but at the end of the day, it's just me and my band (and sometimes a little slime).

I think I may have mentioned once that one of the main reasons I got my band was for professional reasons? Admittedly, I'm a head case, however I don't care because whatever the true cause, it's working. So, my new job is awesome, I'm pitching to corportate, life is good? Except I do believe I had a job description written for me today. As in not pitching TO corporate, but BEING corporate. I think they really REALLY liked what I did for them. So much that they created a place for me. Anyway, this is all new, just as I was leaving this afternoon. Sometimes things happen that are so amazing that I question what really just happened. Even if I'm completely misunderstanding this, I'm loving where I'm at, so no big deal. Either way, my band gets the majority of credit for helping me achieve as much as I have in the eighteen months since I've had it. My expectations have been met completely. The rest is just the icing on the cake... and that's my favorite part...
