Thanks sweetie. I read your blog today and this is my third day on my pre-op diet too. WOW. It's challenging to say the least. Yesterday I have visions of Spam sandwiches dancing in my head. LOL. I really don't think I'm hungry....it's called head hunger. But still???
What time do you have to be at the hospital on the 17th. I have to be there at 5:15 am. My surgery is at 7:30. So I guess I'm my surgeon first patient of the day. Good.... he should be nice and refreshed.
Baby girl you keep me updated with your progress as well. Holla when you can. TTYL.

I too have plantar fascaitis which flares up even so often. My podiatrist also had me wear a brace for six weeks and do phyical therapy for a couple of weeks after the brace did not work. Bottom line I was in a lot of pain. My doctor even had me get a temporary handicap sticker for my car for six months. In my opinion phyical therapy and bio freeze was a God sent. Bio freeze is a pain relieving gel that a lot a phycial therapists have. FYI: My podiatrist said if I lost weight it would help alot. I also told my surgeon I had plantar fascaitis and he noted it in my file. Good luck. I know it can hurt. Deb

Lab results back... might have to cancel?
Dansha replied to Dansha's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I would like to give a big "THANK YOU" to everyone who responded in my time of understanding. I'll be alright. It helps to know people care. I'm going to look upon this as at least there wasn't anything seriously wrong with me. This can be easily fixed. I am now taking my prescription of potassium. 1 pill twice a day for fourteen days. I don't know if anyone knows the answer, but WHY ARE THE pills SOOOOO FREAKING BIG. LOL. Again thanks for the kind and encouraging words. Best wishes to everyone. You guys are AWESOME!!!!!! Deb -

Seats on the plane
Dansha replied to SouthernSleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
About 3 years ago I was on a a very small jet. I am 5'5 and weighed 270 pounds at the time. No way did I need to buy a second seat. However, last year when I was on another very small jet and 20 pounds heavier and I needed an extender. I just quietly asked the flight attendent for an extender. I am not bottom heavy so if that is a concern of yours you probably at worst would need an extender, but no way a second seat. Deb -
I think it is entirely normal and a little bit to be expected that your friend might be envious of you. It doesn't mean she isn't happy for you too. She is sad it isn't her yet. She will get over it and everything will be just fine. Deb

Welcome, this is the place to be for support,advice,venting and meeting a lot of cool peeps. I too am excited, nervous and scared :scared0:about my upcoming surgery, but I know in the long run it's the best thing I can do for myself. Best wishes to all. Deb

Hey Robbie, how are you doing? I'm OK. I think I'm getting nervous about the surgery. Before it was kinda a dream, but NOW with me getting ready to start my pre-op diet on Monday. I think it's finally sinking in. This is for REAL. LIFE CHANGING!! FOREVER. YIKES!!!
Don't get me wrong. I'm ready, but a little scared,excited and a whole gambit of emotions:confused1::scared0:. That's to be expected. I realize this. Thank goodness for my family, friends and of course people like you. You guys here on this site have made my life a lot better with helping me to understand what to expect pre and post op. I love reading the threads, blogs and viewing the pics.
I like Dr. Hoehn. He's seems like such a caring and confident surgeon. I have a question for you about Dr. H. Why.. if you don't mind me asking did you pick him? With you being self paid I would imagine you could have chosen any surgeon.
I will keep you updated as my journey continues. Please keep me updated with your progress.
