CantHateYourselfThin

Hello everyone! I did not have surgery in NC, but I did just relocate here. Does anyone know of any "open to anyone" support groups or WLS friendly PCP's in the Triangle area at all? I am several thousand miles away from my Bariatric Surgeon now and need to find someone local that isn't a complete idiot. I assume other Bari Doc's will not take on patients that they did not personally operate on, but if anyone has a good PCP or Gyno or knows of a local support meeting that lets any surgeons clients in, that would be AWESOME! Anyone know if Duke has "open" support meetings?

Ugh. I live in the desert too. My mouth is going to crack and then crumble into dust. LOL I am 90% numb and 10% completely freaked out.

Three more days! I am having horrible insomnia!!! Just want it to be over already!

Keep us posted lentzbj !

{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} Hope you are feeling better and they get your pain better under control!

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs and healing vibes to everyone}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} 5 more days for me, 12 for hubby. We both took the pre-op class together yesterday and I did all my pre-admission testing (the ones the hosptial wants to admit you with). So I have been poked, bled, EKG'd and xrayed. Took all my measurements today too. EVERYONE REMEMBER TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS AND BEFORE PHOTOS!!!!!!!!

Time is FLYING by!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Low carb and which "diet" is best is NOT the issue you have here. The real issue is that you have taught your husband that this is ok to talk to you this way. Not knowing you or your husband, and having no idea what his internal motivation is (whether he feels he is helping or is being passive agressive or abusive)... the issue is that he keeps doing it. We teach people how to treat us. Time to teach him a new way.

I forgot to add that hubby is getting sleeved the week after me on the 18th. So its a two September Sleever household here.

Looks like you figured out the ticker! {{{{hugs}}}}

Well I didn't see any started over on this side, and since it's already into September I am starting one. I will go post over in the pre-op area. My surgery is on 9/11. 9 more days. :ph34r:
