Glad to see the pics! Now we can put faces with people! I swear I'll find out how to shrink pictures this week! Chris

I know you're gone .. .but GOOD LUCK TO YOU TOO!!!! Hugs Chris

since I'm going to be wearing it all the time, I got the sterling . . . but didn't spend quite that much. You can also google medical alert bracelets and you can get all sorts of styles and prices.

me too . . . me too . . . I need to go to sleep to turn of my brain! I realized I forgot to buy toilet paper . . . and need to fill my gas tank . . . and need to figure out if I should buy a monthly trolley pass for when I go back to work . . . yadda yadda yadda . . . 24 hours from now I can take my Pepcid and go to sleep for a little while! YEA!!!!! Chris

The NSAIDS are moltren, ibuprofen, alleve and those types of things. They, and asprin are very hard on the stomach. I'm not sure if lapbanders can eventually take the NSAIDS - but i know bypass people cannot. I had to stop my ibuprofen a couple weeks ago to let my stomach rest for surgery on Monday .. . There are better explinations out there I'm sure, but that's the gist of it I believe.

I get to be 1st up on Monday morning . . . have to be there at 5:30 . .. 8:00 surgery. And I have a new distraction to take my mind off worrying . . . my hip . . . which gives me fits every now and then . . . is killing me . . . It's been cold and rainy here (ok . . . cold for San Diego) . . . and I think the dampness has gotten in there . . . I'm going to have to pull out the cain just to walk around . . . but this too shall pass.

I hear you . . . I could eat a five course meal right now .. .guess it's time for another Protein drink .. . what time is your surgery on Monday? Chris

Yea .. . we will be changing! and maybe you can tell me how to make my pictures smaller? I can't figure it out on this machine lol. 2 days . . . and by this time I'll be done! Chris

Tomecia . . . I'm glad you put your pic up there . . . it was a HUGE step for me too .. . head shots are so deceptive . . . and then I see ALL of me and start getting really depressed. And then realize YEA .. .I'm doing something about it . . . even at this old age! Carol .. . I've got an early call Monday too . . . 5:30 for an 8:00 appointment . . . but I get to go home . . . knock on wood. Have a good weekend . . . it's all about US this month!!!!! Chris

and in one month we will start looking so different! Yea Us! Chris

I hope the gall bladder heals quickly .. . so you can move on to Band Land too! Sorry the pictures were so big . . . still working on that. Maybe a tech type person can give me some hints lol Chris

Good idea Carol . . . first one home (and capable of sitting at a computer) . . . start a new thread Chris

Oh I think it has to go uphill from here! Good for you! and Yea for the wireless! R u going home today too? Keep us posted Chris

and now I have to learn how to make pictures SMALLER

I'm going to do a monthly picture story for myself . . . so I'm posting my before pics today. Join in! (if this works)

Thank you! I like seeing everyone . . . and that reminds me I have to get pictures taken before Monday! I want to have before and after pics for SURE! Chris

Miss Laura .. .how do you get your picture on here? I've looked everywhere and can't figure it out . .. Chris

Heavy . . . it won't be long and you'll have to have your wedding ring resized! THAT will be a great day! Chris

Glad you can join us . . . even GLADDER it's ALMOST HERE!!! Chris
