The Doc popped my Port Cherry ROFLMFAO !!!! Good morning, well this other doctor got it in and did a good job. He asked me about the numbing stuff and I said NOPE! don't need another needle thank you very much :tired NOW !!! I feel like a bandster :guess Thanks for the good lucks everyone. Pat, I'm glad you got the car you like. I live in mine so why not get something your comfortable in. Needles don't bother me per say but when the doc wiggled the thing inside it made me sick to my stomach lol. No more am I allowing the one doctor to do it...ut uh. Cindy, I think your comment about people eating b/c they feel things are geared towards them is right. Not all folks but I'm sure some do have issues with it. Everyone is different. However I don't think thats why I over eat... I'm more your depressed, hold in feelings, bored, tired, happy, emotional type of eater and plus I just love to eat... I'm addicted. Betty, the doc did make me lift my legs (good thing I didn't fart, I was nervous) and do a crunch and he got the port... pop ! the sound was gross. ANNE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is going on girlie? I'm sorry to hear about the boobie and coochie tests... What are they saying...when do you get answers? My gosh, I'm so worried for you (its my job, I'm the Mom here lol, ask Beanie)... And your reflux problems OY!!! Feel better sweet lady and please let us know what the doc says. Patty I'm glad you went to the meeting, they can be informative and they can be a total bust. I find that once a month would be okay because I have a big support group here and I feel closer to you all than anyone I meet at the meetings (jmho). Hang in there, things will happen. BEANIE !!!!!!!! how ya feeling girl ? Dianne, good luck with the insurance company, I'll cross my everything for you. How's lucy ? lol

Waiting 2 b Band
Welcome Shaquanna Where are you having the surgery? The first two days were painful to me and after that it just got better and better. The hardest part was staying on liquids for 3 weeks (2 of them clear liquids). We know exactly how you feel, you want it over with and the weight loss to start.. Hang in there !!!

Now its a good morning... BEANIEEEE!! its good to see you and know that your doing okay. Just go slow and keep burping...its all you can do lol, but don't lay to long, get up and walk around...its the best thing for you, don't want any clots now. Cindy congrats on the WL and the seat belt.... bet you were smiling from ear to ear. Oy vey on the ticket LOL.... do you get points on your license? Jersey is wacky with speed traps so one thing you want to do in NJ is drive the speed limit no matter what. They never seem to catch the road raged person only the person who goes a couple of mph over the limit lol... Pat... whazup? Another new car..you go girl..watcha get a chrystler 300? love those mean looking cars :eek: I have no clue whats up with the port sticking doctor from hell.... all I know is he won't be touching me again, even if he IS my surgeon LOLOL !!! hopefully the cute young doctor who's supposed to be the pro can get it on the first shot. If they mess me up I'll just have to puke all over their procedure room :grouphug: I go tomorrow for round 2. Dianne, Lucy is my mom's dog and she's a little pistol. The name really fits. Keep up on the docs and insurance, we all know how they can be... PITA'S !!! Well nothing much is happening today, just work, work work. And you ?

almost 5 days postop- what should i expect now?
I posted this on one of the duplicate threads..... Welome to bandland Roger :clock: Sounds normal to me, I'm still burping and farting and I'm 3 months out. Don't worry you'll feel better soon. I remember finally getting in the car on the 5th day doing some light shopping, I walked slow and was sore but it felt so good to get out. You'll feel better and better each day. Just make sure you take it slow, follow your doctors eating plan, heal and get your liquids in, don't get dehydrated. Go slow !!! <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->__________________

I need healthy SUPER BOWL recipes
If you want pizza grab a weight watchers or south beach frozen, this way you won't feel left out. Baked chips, salsa can't hurt, or make yourself a nice taco salad w/some healthy veggies. Eat something before the party, this way you'll be less hungry when the food is out. But !!!! what about the left overs? that would be the worst part for me b/c if they are there the next day guess where they are going.... yep you got it. Give everything you can to your guests as they are leaving...this way there will be no temptation tomorrow. One day might not hurt but two will. Good luck but mostly.... HAVE FUN !!!!!!!

Good Morning, The skys are blue and beautiful this morning, can't wait to go outside and enjoy the fresh air. Whats everyone doing today? Nothing much here, SOSDD. I'm gonna do some cooking for the week and a load of laundry but thats it for cleaning, I did most of it yesterday. Sherry, good luck tomorrow with the post op stuff :clock: glad you found us lolol. Patty, I'm sorry they decided to throw you a curve ball. We all have to keep on top of the insurance companies because if you give them an inch they'll take a yard. I was on the phone w/them crying and yelling all the time, if I didn't I would have missed my surgery date. I'm sorry !!!! But there is a reason why these things happen.... I look at it as, the surgery will happen in God's time, not ours. Hugs, it will happen. Did you enjoy Disney? BEANIE !!!!!!!!!! **HUGS, KISSES, HUGS** good luck tomorrow, I just can't believe its here already. Good luck Good Luck Good Luck *but mostly I'll be praying for you*......let us know when you can that your home safe and sound..... yes I worry... Love, Mom Well off to surf a bit and then I'm gonna make DD some Breakfast. Hugs everyone.
