Ok I'm going to go crazy. I have reddness and bumps around my large insision! I have few few more of those redbumps in other places. I'm sending DH to the store to get me benadryl and hopefully that will take care of it. Did any of you put anything on your insision to prevent infection? I'm thinking of neosurim or something like that.:omg: Other than that I'm just using tylenol. Crushed darvaset is horrible! Well I think it's :notagree time for a bit.

I'm good any time but the 18th if March which isn't a choice. I know there is an IHOP right around the corneer from Tuesdays

Hi gang, Honey I'm home...I said that to Lucy when I got home. She has grown!!! Second time around is much harder. The surgery was 2 1/2 hours and he had to do a lot more than last time so that's why it was much hard. I had some oxygen problems nothing major just had to have abuterol treatments every 6 hours and use the oxygen all of Tuesday and Wednesday. Then I got some kind of an allergic reaction to something. Not sure what that was but they took me off morphine and onto demurral. Gave me some benydrl and the bumps left for a while. Came back in the morning so more benadryl and more sleep. I am heading to bed will try to NC'rs will join us all. Time for drugs and sleep. night night, Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.

Welcome to WLS land!!! Glad your home and doing well.

I'm home! :confused: Hi gang, I'm home got home around 11 today. Second time around is much harder. The surgery was 2 1/2 hours and he had to do a lot more than last time so that's why it was much hard. I had some oxygen problems nothing major just had to have abuterol treatments every 6 hours and use the oxygen all of Tuesday and Wednesday. Then I got some kind of an allergic reaction to something. Not sure what that was but they took me off morphine and onto demurral. Gave me some benydrl and the bumps left for a while. Bumps came back in the morning so I got more benadryl and more nap time. Sorry I missed the calls I had the cell phone on and off, and I still haven't checked the messages. Well thanks for your thoughts and prayers, it's nap time.:notagree BTW Demoral cacked me up! My girlfriend came to see me and I got the major giggles! My mouth was so dry that I couldn't talk without my lips or tougne getting stuck. And then I couldn't stop laughing. She was afraid they were gonna kick us out. So no naked movie star but a real good laugh. Love you guys

Sunta-This is the beginning of the rest of your life! These feeling are normal. I bet if you asked most of us bandsters if they would do it again, you'd hear from more than me, in a heart beat. I promise it is really not that bad. I was amazed at how little pain I was in. Trust in God and he will hold your hand....

Betty-What you said on that thread was great. And I agree with you 100%. Tammy- What a bummer..hang in there, you'll feel better soon. Sherry-Glad your feeling better! Cindy-You and Betty rock..well everyone on this NJ thread rocks.. Well night night...talk to you guys in a few days.

Should I ask him myself..on drugs....lol don't worry I won't Ok I'm stressing...I know been there done that, but it's kind of like having that second baby when you remember all the stuff from the first. I know everything will be fine, I'm just stressin...time for some zanax I think..Garry's meeting went the way we thought it was going to go. So that adds to the stress, why tonight!!! Oh well all is good and all will be fine. Thanks for your prayers. I know I will feel the peace I did last time. Love you guys...night night...OH OH talk about more stress...I think it really stinks! That Leaha is leaving this site. Lets pinky swear that we will not leave NC site..ok..oh and NJ is real cool too!! Sleep tight, I think I'll be up a while tonight... OH OH OH one more thing...:angry :angry :angry I gained 2 pounds!!!!! BOY am I ready :clap2:

Leatha, I hope that you will consider staying. Perhaps the people who are making this site ugly will shut up and or leave. I rarely post on general threads and I hate to say it but I don't tell people to come here much anymore. It used to be a positive place for people in all stages. I have enjoyed reading you comments and threads. You have been a huge help to me and I truly want to thankyou.

I will hopefully meet NJChick in March!!!

Angie, I love tht hat! I like this picture I think we all look good. "The Incredibles"

OH Denika-I am so sorry that your mama are going through this. I will for complete healing and peace in all of your hearts and minds. I am so glad that you feel comfortable enough to come here and ask us for prayer. You have come to the right place. God does put the right people in our lives, and he knows just when to do it. Isn't that cool. Feel his love tonight when you sleep. My favorite psalm is 91 read it and make it personal to you. Have you mom and dad do the same. I pray that it will comfort all of you like it comforts me. Kim-WOW sorry about your foot. Take it easy. You sure did a better job than I did. Can't wait to talk tomorrow. I will be running around for most of the mid day, then home. I love your get together idea. I wouldn't mind having everyone here. I love doing stuff like that. I'll ask Kelly to post the picture tomorrow if she has time. Angie-I'm so glad our feeling better today. I am happy we got to sit together yesterday and talk. Hang in there your doing great! Court-It was nice to meet you. Glad we got to sit together. We do have a great family here don't we. Loretta (Starr)- I was in shock, I hope you are as happy as I was that you made it. And you really look good. Your hair is fantastic! Melissa- Your girls are so cute!!! Boy you can't get away with cheating to much with them around! Poster Girl-Your so much fun! You have such a great attitude. It was fun sitting with you also. OK so today I had my last of the last supper..lol...I am about to have a little mike and 2 or 3 cookies before bed, then its off to liquid land!! I am ready now, I can't believe how ready I am. My plan is to go to Curves and get weighed and measured tomorrow morning, then make a few business calls and then it's my time. Well I'm going to the chiropractor hopefully, my back is not behaving! Then I have to go to Wally World for a few things and then hopefully play with Lucy and have a fun evening. Pls pray about Garry's visit with the boss tomorrow. My GM seems to be enjoying herself. I sure am enjoying her. Have a Blessed night...

Eileen-My house is never clean! I go nut! I did get all of my laundry done today..yeah.. Pat-How cool about the Eagle!! I sure hope you get a picture of him. It would be fun to get together this summer. Our group met again yesterday it was a lot of fun. I asked Kim to tell you guys on Tuesday that I'm fine and on drugs!! Betty- NC birds are stupid!! lol well not the hummingbird but these other birds! I was all excited to get that stuff, oh I forgot what they call it but it has PB and seeds and you put it like in a cage thingy...well I brought 2 of them and I have seen 1 bird! Ira-That's a bummer! When do you go back for your next visit? Anne- Your DD is crackin me up!!! enjoy these days they go so so fast it is sad how fast they go. I know you enjoy them. Be sure to write things like this down so you don't forget and you can always look back and tears will fill your eyes at how fast time has gone by. You are handling all these medical tests really well. Scary stuff, but you have a lot of people praying for you so that sure does help doesn't it. LOL I had to laugh about the bird food..I did that but left it in the garage..the mice found it and had a party and invited all of there friends!! Cindy-Do you like your haircut? Sherry- Be sure to blow your nose before you go outside..lol.. I did have the girlie band and it felt good when I first got it. I think I'll be wearing it a lot this time with the puppy around. You crack me up!! Don't forget to tell him if you want regular, or super tampons. Patty-I hope the rest of the weekend goes well. Sound like you had a wonderful time on Friday night. Beanie-I was getting a bit worried about you. Glad to hear your doing good. Are you still wearing your girlie thing? I couldn't wear it at night, but maybe it will fit better this time around. I have had a really nice weekend. With my NC Banster buds and my GM, DH, DS, DD. You all bring a smile to my face. It is so nice to find nice people. It is so wonderful to know that we are all praying for each other. I am gong to have 2 cookies and a glass of milk and enjoy the heck out of them and then hit the sack. I had my last supper today and it was great! Mommom is doing great! She is really something. I think she is enjoing just hanging here with us. I feel bad that I won't be much fun this week for her, but I guess I really can't worry much about that right now. Have a good night and God Bless...di

Glad to hear it went so well for you. When do you go back again? I'm looking forward to my soup tomorrow. I hope they have broc cheese, I'm in the mood for that!

Ankle is sprained. I am feeling much better though. I took tylenol with codene and threw up 5 times! OH that wasn't fun! Off to bed...see you tomorrow morning.

I'm glad it's late enough in the day that he will have plenty of time to finish me up...congrats...

I spoke with Loretta (Starr) today and guess what...she said she's coming! We'll see.... I had my last steak tonight, my last McD's for lunch...the count down for last suppers are on...agian...2 more to go...

Hi all, Well my foot is just sprained and feels a lot better today. I took Tylenol with codene and threw up 5 times yesterday. NOT GOOD. Once that garbage was out of my system everything felt better. Yesterday my GM came and she is amazing! She is 97 yrs old. She was here 2 yrs ago. EVERYTHING new hat I got since she was here last she said Oh that's new I don't remember you having that last time I was here! Then we went out to dinner tonight with my In-laws and when we got home Mommom (GM) emptied my dw!!! She is really something! I saw the anesthesiologist today for blood and stuff and I asked the nurse if any of them had a personality or were they ALL cold fish she laughed and said there were a few that had personalities at that point the Dr walked in and she said this is Dr.-- and he has a personality. We laughed for the rest of the time. He will not be doing my surgery but he said the Dr that is does have one. So you better believe I'm going to tell him when I meet him that I heard hes got one! DH tells me that he got a call from his boss today and his boss is flying up on Monday to meet with him..holy CRAP! to discuss $$. DH asked if he needed to worry and he said no. I know I have to give it to God and it will be ok but CRAP! Now I have this to think about all weekend too!!! I have never met this guy but DH likes him a lot so I'm going to have a bottle of Champagne and a bottle of lemon juice and ask him what kind of day are we going to have! Anne, I'm so glad the boobs are A OK. What a bummer that your going through all this stuff ((hugs)) to you. And DON:DON'T LIFT the little one!!! Patty, That is great that your principle is backing you up and on your side. I am so glad for you. How sweet a surprise for you from your Angels is disguise!!! Cindy, I know how hard anniversary time can be. My dad has been gone now for 19yrs and the Anniversary time is always hard even this many yrs later although it is a little better every yr. But the first few yrs are not easy. ((Hugs))) Betty, I would have gotten upset also about those people. You know now I want to tell everyone that's fat about this gift of ours. Today I had to go for my pre surg anestesiolist appointment and there were 2 women who were real big. I so badly wanted to ask them if they were having WLS but I didn't want to intrude. Eileen what a nice way to end the week with out bosses! How nice that you had such a nice time with the other bandster. AND HOW ABOUT GOING TO YOUR OB BEFORE SPRING!!! Pat, How is your time alone? I d hope we can get together in NC sometime, that would be fun. We have a real nice group of girls here from LBT. We meet once a month. Tomorrow morning we are meeting and we're all having soup because on of the girls just got a fill today. Sherry, I feel so bad for you. Take the drugs. What a bummer about Clifford coming right now. Oh that really stinks. ((hugs)) I'm going to take Lucy out and GTB have a good night..love ya Oh I forgot to tell you I went to a new nutritionist today. She was WONDERFUL!! I can't believe all the stuff I learned from her. I am almost looking forward to my liquid and mushie stages!

Hi girls, I think I might have broke or sprained my foot really bad today. This really sucks because I have no time to sit with my foot up!! My Grandmother is landing at 4:20 tomorrow and this house is a desaster! I am going to take it easy tonight. I really wanted to go to chior tonight, but I desided to put the foot up. I'll go to the Dr. tomorrow if it still feels like this. 3 tylenols seemed to help so maybe it's not to bad. I did make my Walmart presurg trip. That always comforts me. I brought a zipper bathrobe and some cute socks, what the heck. Ok I'm off to see what Lucy is doing and then rest. Have a good night.

I'm sure it will all come together for you. I bet March is your month!!!

Patty, I'm sorry sorry this is happening to you. I'm praying that it will all work out. Eileen, How was your day! Yu sounded so happy. Betty, I don't blame you for putting those pants back! I did buy a pair at which I didn't try on at Walmart today, you know me and my pre surg Walmart stops. Betty, It was 66 today here. Tomorrow it might hit 70. Sherry, It will get better. Zan, Have fun! Well tomorrow my Grandmother comes. I'm stressing because I need to do so much before she comes. We made these plans 3 months ago not realizing that I would be going for surgery. Well this afternoon I was walking real fast and tripped over a curb and if I hadn't had my car right there I would have fallen on my face. I twisted my foot real bad. Not sure if I broke anything or not. It isn't to swollen and I can stand on it. It just hurts like heck and feels tight. I think I'm going to just wait it out for tonight and take it easy and then tomorrow kick butt around here before she comes. Lucy is being a good girl, Sandy seems depressed, Poose, the cat is thrilled to have a play mate her size. Well I'm going to get more ice. Have a good night.

Welcome home and welcome to bandland!!! Your gonna love your band!

Congrats, Thats my date too. You'll love your band!
