Hey you! As you can see I NEVER get on here anymore. 50 lbs is amazing! I'm sitting @ 40 and feel your frustration. Not having access to the doc for 4 mths really put me behind. I'm happy to report we are back in Colo. and I have my 3rd fill on Tues. Yay!

Hey you! Haven't heard from you in a while. How's that infection? Getting worried about ya...

Really? I would've guessed 130. You look great and should be proud. I'm seeing Dr.K one last time tomorrow. Who do you see for your fills and where are you in FL? I have some family in North Port.

Hey! I just saw your new pics and you look awesome! I know this is rude, but how much do you weigh now? You are inspiring and I hope I will look as good as you 8 months post-op. AMAZING! You should be oh-so proud of yourself.

Hello! When is your 1st fill scheduled? I was thinking maybe we should get together and do lunch if time allows. Let me know!

Thank you for that bit of info. I crushed a Zantac and have been feeling better. Even tho they taste icky crushed I'm going to start taking one everyday and hopefully this will alleviate this pain I'm feeling. Thx again!

I will be thinking of you today. Good luck!

Hugs...:grouphug:

So...what did the doc have to say???

Only 2 more days! Are you excited, nervous, scared or anxious? You will do just fine!

Best of luck!!! :party:

We have so many different conversations going on all over the place. LOL! He thought it would give me relief by removing some fluid. Idk...Natalie said its normal to have that feeling.

I just emailed you about the my Dr. visit this a.m. Now my port site is sore. Evidently from him having to access it. Grr...I was doing well. Where is your port located? Have you lost any weight?

Lol...loved the pizza story! That's actually funny b/c I keep telling Jason I'm going to do the same thing. Food just doesn't taste very well when you have to chew it so many times. I just sent you an e-mail about my 1st unfill experience.

Hi! Surgery went better than expected. I did great the 1st night home. I've had terrible gas pains! The most annoying part is a pain in my chest. Natalie actually told me I needed to go into the office to see Dr.K so I did this a.m. He removed 1.2cc's from the band. It took the sharp pain away but still feel like something is sitting on my chest. Idk...but its very uncomfortable. Hoping it will subside w/time. Thx for checking in on me!

How did it go? :thumbdown: or :thumbup: I'm doing better than expected. Just some major gas pains and some pain at the large incision site. Other than that, I'm glad to be home and will continue taking my pain meds. Hope all is well your way!:biggrin:

Hi lady! I'm doing well after surgery but I do have some pretty nasty gas pains. I came out of anesthesia very well and was so pleased. I didnt even feel all that groggy. Yay! Was well on my home by 1:00 just like you said. I also have some pain @ lrg. incision but thats to be expected. I have not yet heard from Ambra but do hope she's doing well. She just got to post-op when I was leaving. How was your 1st day back @ work?:thumbup:

Hey you! So tomorrow is my day. EEK! I am nervous but totally agree the mind is such a powerful thing. I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm just SO ready to get surgery over with. How was the flight home? I'll post when I can. Thx for all the advice.

I just had to let you know that I'm friggin' starvin' right now!! Oh, and I wanted to know if Dr.K signed your paperwork?

Hey you! Where did uptown post? I couldn't find it. Was it in Dr. K thread or somewhere else??? !

I heard Mary in the front, on the phone trying to schedule a upper gi or swallow study or something, saying "she's here, in a wheelchair...." and I thought OMG! I wonder if it's her cuz I hadn't heard from her all night.... then they wheeled her out, we made eye contact I said are you ok? She shook her head no. Looked absolutely miserable, eyes teary and scared. But I don't know what was going on, or what is wrong. I didn't really get to talk to her. I wanted to go hug her, find out whats going on and help her somehow. If my appt wasn't in like 2 minutes I would have tried to go with her to help her, but they where wheeling her out somewhere else. Still haven't heard from her. Wish I could see you in the morning b4 we go in. I'd give you a hug and just knowing we're there for each other, it will help. Mon needs to get here. We'll be ok. I'm dying to hear from you and what you heard from Cassy, how she was. UGH

Omg I know! I posted on your pg. earlier, did you get it? I saw her to but didn't get a chance to speak w/her but it didn't look good. Poor thing! I was feeling positive after seeing Cassy but now I'm FREAKING OUT, again FREAKING OUT! That is my worse fear that I won't be able to swallow. How miserable! What else did Colleen have to say?

Boo! I didn't get to see you. :sad: What time was your appt? I waited until 10:15, maybe your appt was 10:30. Yeah, I am SUPER SCARED!!! I did get to see Cassy and Colleen. I was feeling pretty good after chatting w/Cassy and her mom. She was even wearing jeans. AMAZING! But then here comes poor Colleen in a wheelchair shaking her head. She looked like she felt like s-h-i-o-t. Maybe you got to see her as well. I walked out of there having 2nd thoughts but guess its too late for that. I liked Dr. K a lot better today. I didn't mind Mary either. You are lucky you are working nights b/c I cannot sleep. He gave me 1 ambien for the night prior to surgery. Ok, I need to breathe or something. HELP!!!

Hey you! I was thinking the same thing. Didn't seem like we got to talk much. Boo! Dinner sucked! Lol...I was hungry on the way home. Shoulda just had salad bar. Oh well! No wonder I have a problem. LOL! I am SO confused on this diet! The "office" needs to get it together. Sorry, I'm a little frustrated b/c I don't know what I can/can't eat. I'm drinking sugar-free hot chocolate right now but just noticed it has 13g of carbs. I actually started to have withdrawals today :ohmy:...

dizzy,nauseated,headache,etc...not good! I was going to tell you to try the carmel lite frappy @ Starbucks. That's the only thing I drink there. I'm not sure if its 100% sugar-free but guess you could ask. Ok, please be careful on your drive. I don't know how y'all do it. Hopefully I'll see you then. )

Yay!! Will see you there! Speaking of Starbucks, I just got a Cherry Limeade from Sonic thinking it was just the cherry juice that had carbs. Yeah...its sprite, I forgot! I have got to get control of myself! See you @ 6:30 lady...

Why aren't you posting on my pg.? lol I know the website. So are you going tonight fosho? Cuz, I decided I don't want to go unless you will be there??? You are prolly catchin' some Zzzzzz's right about now but let me know ASAP.

Omg...I am a fruitcake! I promise I am going to bed but I just noticed the time of your surgery. Has it always been @ 1? I thought it was 11 am so I assumed you were going to be following me. I go in @ 9am. Hmm...
