  1. Hoping for the same!
  2. So you are the one! I spoke with Omar yesterday and he told me he was taking one of the patients to a bull fight! Have fun!
  3. Well, I was just about to go get my second cup - will make it a decaf! I use those kcups - I think I saw half caf ones - slowly lower my caffeine intake.
  4. Oh, the thought of no coffee terrifies me. I guess I should ween myself before surgery.
  5. Just went to read your blog - my birthday is October 21st! I am a couple of years older though.
  6. Thanks webchickadee! He was great on the phone. Getting excited to schedule!
  7. Thinking of you today Reese1! I spoke with Dr. Kelly for the first time yesterday, he seems great. Post when you are able!
  8. Wow, so I just sent my questionnaire to Omar last Thursday and he just called. He said Dr. Kelly is going to be calling in 1-15min! I wish I had some questions prepared! Anyone around?
  9. My migraine ritual - lie completely flat (I usually lay on the floor) in a dark room. Tie some sort of scarf around my head (the pressure on my forehead helps - my mom used to press on my head when I would get them as a kid), small neck roll pillow with ice at the base of my skull. I actually have a neck pillow (the kind that are shaped like a U) that came with the ice pack and a pocket to put it in. Whatever you do - I hope you find some relief.
  10. Thank you, Finding Myself. That was my thought. I would just put - healthy weight in those spaces until I could answer with an actual number.
  11. Omar responded to my email and sent the questionnaire. Some things are hard to answer - does anyone know what they weighed when they started school? (Age 5-6). I don't even know my teacher's name! How one earth do I answer that? I wasn't ever conscious of a scale until college.
  12. Thank you Queen of Crop - I feel as though I could have written (most of) that blog post. I also have a slim husband and he is a quantity eater. I am new to this forum and am hoping to join not just the forum but the group of you that have had surgery. I will be going back to read more of your blog now.
  13. Thank you both for responding! I have emailed them because it is kind of early there now.
  14. I got an email back from sandy@alighterme.com, is this the right place for Dr. Kelly?
  15. I have been lurking around here for a while, afraid to register even because of my low bmi. I have been working with a nutritionist for a year, I have upped my exercise. Nothing seems to help. Just did a cleanse with some thin friends, they lost a bunch - me? Only a couple of pounds. I am just now considering pursuing surgical options.
