  1. For me my first appt was Aug and I am waiting now to get a surgery date.
  2. Hi quita and Kelly, Welcome to the land of support and wisdom!
  3. Bring something to distract you while waiting until you get the meds. Book, cell phone, music, puzzle book. Always hear chapstick is a must!
  4. What a powerful story. Good luck to you. Wish you the best.
  5. Come on Lexx. Tomorrow is a new day, a do over! Good luck!
  6. Well, you can always get pregnant and then the girls will grow!!! : )
  7. I keep hoping mother nature doesn't arrive at my surgery time. Double whammy!
  8. Thanks for tge c section comparison. I also had 2 sons via c sect and I was wondering if it would feel like that.

    MsAnn, Please let me be here for you. I take medicine for depression caused by an anxiety disorder.I don't know exactly how you feel, but I know what hopeless feels like and what lonely feels like when you are around people. I have lost friends, fake friends actually, and have watched my kids experience that too. I am not trying to cheer you up, I am trying to say I want to be an ear. An anonymous ear that you can unload on. Give me a chance, if it helps make you feel better even for a little while. If I make you feel worse, then I understand. If uou want to chat please send me a message, I promise I will answer. You matter to me. Joanne
  10. Probably just being thorough. Good luck.
  11. Thanks for the 411. Hope you find a tummy filler.
  12. Congratulations on your surgery and very happy it is starting off so well for you.
  13. Great advise, I'm just going to send you a cyber dope slap sent with love and caring! Be healthy!!!!
  14. There is one with some crazy a**women. Watch out for that one. Don't remember its name.
  15. Kim, I wouldn't wish panic attacks on my worst enemy. I've had them for 15 years. I hope you take the other girl's advise and find a doc asap. You may need two for now, one for the LB and one or a therapist to get control of the attacks so they don't control you. You will be in my prayers tonight.
  16. On another post, someone mentioned papaya enzyme from GNC. It breaks down protein.
  17. You took on 2 huge steps to healthy living!! Try to see what you have accomplished and love yourself as others do. If your soldier was goibg through this, you wouldn't want him self loathing, right?! "Be all you can be"
  18. How about calling the administration at the hospital? Just in case something was to go wrong.
  19. Geez the typo police caught you, now maybe you will get some advise. I'm not banded yet but hopefully you'll get an answer and are feeling better soon.
  20. Congratulations!!!!! Bedside matter test must have lowered her gpa back in school. Good for you not stooping to her level.
  21. So are you a piano player? (icon curiosity) If so, jazz, rock, concert? Just trying to distract you from the dry mouth!
  22. So glad your surgery went well. Enjoy the beginning of your new healthy life! Best wishes from all your new pals on LBT!!!! : )
