  1. WhenI went they gave me a cloth tape that would be placed over the incesion. I didnt like to use it though because it was too hard to change and it hurt to take off.
  2. what is the calorie intake that we should be having right now to encourage more weight loss??
  3. Omg, Im experiencing the same thing. Im going on 4 weeks post op and as soon as my period stopped last week, I havent lost anymore weight either. 18lbs and thats it....this is so frusterating because i feel like im not going to lose anymore weight...ahhhh lol!
  4. Hi everyone!! I am doing GREAT!! I had surgery last friday and the first night was horrible. i threw up blood twice. Which no one had mentioned anything about so of course I thought i was bleeding internally and freaking out! After that I was great... just slept a lot! I was up and walking around the next day with no complications. I came home on Monday and went to work on Wed. I feel amazing for just having surgery. LOL. I must say though Dr. Kelly was awesome came to check up on me almost every day I was there including the day at my hotel room! I have already lost 13 pounds, and averaging a pound a day. I can't beleive it!.
  5. I bought some soups from Safeway and are putting them in the freezer so when I come home I will just have to blend them and I ave a whole bunch of Crystal Light. I bought a bunch of gas X strips and that's about it. I'm clueless as to what else I will be needing. I'm from Modesto, California. Maybe we will see eachother when were out there. What hotel are you staying at ?
  6. I'm leaving on the 13th and having the surgery on the 13th too. I'm so nervous! I'm trying to keep busy to keep my mind off my worries. How are you feeling?
  7. How much time will i need to take off work after surgery?? Will i be able to go back to work after the procedure? I'm a Medical Assistant and my job is not very physical. Do you think I can go back to work right after the surgery?
  8. OMG, good luck honey!!! I will pray for a safe surgery!!! Let us know how things went as soon as you are free to write us!! I feel like I'm there with you!!! Ahhhh!!
  9. Good Luck...keep us posted as soon as you can ok! Im leaving on the 13th with Dr. Kelly too! Soooo nervous!!!! KIT
