Boy I'd sure like to!

:update: Hi gang, :update: I wanted to fill you all in on my surgery. Garry and I met with Dr.Voellinger this afternoon and I will not have surgery this week. We have to wait n the insurance company to approve everything. I do not have to be on a liquid diet before hand:hungry: :clap2: but I will have to be on liquids and mushies for 3 weeks after:faint: I will be in for 1 or 2 nights. If it turns out to be open surgery then longer. It just looks like I'm a lucky one! It isn't that common but does happen. It really does suck, but I have to tell you I am putting it in Gods hands. Everything from the date of the surgery to my sucess. I can't go forward unless I go through this set back so I guess thats what I have to do! Dr. Voellinger made me feel better and as usual took all the time I needed with him to answer all my questins. I'm still in a funk but at least I know what I need to do and success is to follow. I will keep you updated. I'm hoping I can get some sleep. I'm exhausted. Have a good night. Thanks for your prayers and support. di

You all are great! Thankyou so much for all of your support and most important your prayers! I saw the Dr. today. I will not be having surgery on Thursday do to insurance! So now I have to wait to get the approval. My Dr. doesn't think it will be a problem, just paper work junk. I think this is better I have some time to adjust and get used to the idea. I haven't slept much the past few days. I know the timing is all in Gods hands, so I am not going to worry about it. This time is deffiniatly giving me a stronger faith and making me lean on God. I will keep you posted. Thanks so much and (((HUGS))) to all of you.

B-special K fruit & yogart cereal...YUMMMMMMMMMY L-few bites of mac and cheese, chicken breast and now I am about to have a few kisses smooochieeeee D-

Tell them to get thier paws off your plate!!! It is still your food and you have every right to hang on to it s long as you'd like! People in the begining asked me alot what I had lost and I told them I really don't know. I have lost a few sizes in clothing, but I don't keep track of the scale. It drives some nuts, but OH WELL!!! Soon they stop asking. Sorry about your friend I know that must hurt. I have a friend who said to me well you know you could have saved yourself from the surgery and just done it all your self....errr....NO, that is not true! Years of failure have proven that!

You guys are great and I really am thankful to have your support. I HATE negitive stuff on here! But this has to turn out positive...right? Ok Thursday I went for my fluo fill. 3 weeks earlier my Dr. who I just love and respect, thought I might have a leak. I got scared and was terrified that that meant a leak in the band. So Thursday was my fluro day. Which was also my 4 month anniversary. You all know how I have been in and out of a funk lately. I really thought I had a leak and was prepared as best as I could be with the idea of a port exchange. Well I have a leak and I have it not only in my port but also in the band. Which means that next Thursday I have to go back in and have the whole surgery over agian. That I wasn't expecting to hear. My Dr. said it is a tougher surgery because of the chance of bleeding and the scar tissue. I asked him if he has ever had anyone else with the band leak and he said I'm his first. I think he has had a few port leaks which seem to be the most common. DH and I will go see him on Monday and then Wednesday I have the presurgical stuff and then Thursday.....Everything is happening so fast. I'm scared. I'm upset. I'm crying on and off all the time. I'm asking God whats up. I'm also upset to tell all of you because I don't want you to worry about your own bands. I know when I read things I hear people panic and that is why I hesitated to say anything. I truely believe that I am one in thousands to have this. This band has been Gods idea from the begining. So I know he will pull me through this tough time and ease my nerves and pain. Thanks for being here for me. Today we meet our LBT local group like we do monthly. I got lots of hugs and support. This whole website is wonderful. I love the relationships that we are making. And I can't wait to meet my NJ group. Hopefully in March. So thats it for now. I'm tired and hopefully will sleep tonight. :notagree night night.....di

You guys are great. Thanks for being here for me. I really need you guys right now. It is so comforting to have your support and prayers. I am nervous but the encouragment that you give me helps SO SO much. I will keep you posted about the details as they come in. Love you all,

Next time you'll be there!

Hey guys, I here but not really. Having a tough time. I'll fill you all in soon. Just say a little prayer for me please. Thanks

Hey gang, I'm not sure if I can do it tomorrow. I have "stuff" going on. My head is pretty cloudy right now. I need to pray about it and see. I guess it's me time right now. I will call Kim and let her know if I'm not coming. Love you guys. If I don't make it PLEASE lets get together sooner than a month, I'll need to see ya'll

Wow that is wonderful!!!! Size 12!!! WTG

I'm so glad Curtis is doing good. Sorry about the crud going on at the house.

I agree, let them go home and sleep. You'll be sleeping anyway. I was in for 2 nights and the 1st day DH was there pretty much the whole time. I mostly said WOW and then fell asleep. Kids who are adults came to visit and they still laugh at how all I said was WOW..Drugs were good, I felt like I was on a roller coaster you know the wow feeling I'm talking about.

I was in for 2 nights. No problems.

LOL that is cute..and true..

Sorry to hear about this, but hopefully you will get a clear answer soon. ((Hugs)) Hang in there....

Sounds like a great time..WTG

Good morning, I haven't had time to check all the posts, but wanted to say hi. My plan for the day is to make healthy food choices. Already did 80 crunches and more to go later today. Thursday I go for my fluo so hopefully we will find out if I have a leak or not. I am thinking I do, but I also think I'm thinking to much. Bye for now, di

Hang in ther Kim, Let us know if you need anything. My prayers are with Curtis and you. Hopefully this will be the only surgery for 2006 for you guys!

Sorry you can't be there Sherry. Hopefully next time.

I'm 2cc and all I think about is food and am I hungry, and where is the chocolate! Urgh...I may have a leak, Hopefully on Thursday we will find out. It seems like I am totally obsesed with food thoughts! And at night even when I've had a "good day" I have to munch! I can't stand this struggle! I pray everyday for it to go away. I hope once I get to where I need to be I will put food on the back burner and have other things to think about.

WTG Beachbabe! Welcome to Sharon also. B-PS, the last of the PBrounds TG! L-2ricecakes with PB D-steak,sweet potato,some bread,8 kisses Today I will make healthy wise choices....

I go for my 3rd on Thursday. I to get full, but it seems like I get hungry pretty fast. I am also thinking abut food all the time trying to see when I'm hungry and how long it takes. So thinking about the hunger really stinks!

:clap2: Congrats and welcome to Bandland, you'll love it!
