Yeah elforman, the problem will be unless they are Tylenol based you may be up poo poo creek without a paddle. Remember no more NSAIDS!! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Central Ohio almost smack dab in the middle 14 miles from the Geographic Center which is Centerburg, the town my Mama lived near and graduated from the High School there. Lord, the things i know about that place. One of my ancestors, Preston Hubbell, gave the town fathers a loan when they were laying out the town. Came time for the loan to fall due, they didn't have the ready cash so they named Preston Street after him instead. Charter is the sons of Seabiscuit the horse that bought Time Warner and instigated these lovely changes. We were an independent cable company until. 2000 when TW took us over and bundled us into their Columbus Ohio division. We lost most of our local programming but intill recently we retained our Monday night City Council meetings, they suddenly disappeared, no warning. Seems like our bill keeps going up in small increments, they holler about adding more, as an example I have the Weather Channel 3 different # on the grid, CNN 4#, that's not improvement that's duplication. Their excuse: we have so many packages out there. Not my problem-there's. You ought know how the American retail philosophy is- New and Improved means the box is smaller or its gone up in price!

You know that makes sense also. BiddyNZ says this morning they are having a tropical cyclone. Aren't you glad you're in Oz instead of New Zealand? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Usually they use the weight you have at your first surgical visit as the base line. Don't piddle too much before your visit, don't want them to refuse for lacking an ounce. Seriously you'll do just fine. See if your surgeon is someone you can get along with. Its not mandatory to necessarily fall in love with them, if they sound and act at ease with you,it does help. Remember you will be asleep under the care of this person and the anesthesia doctor, do you find him/her trustworthy? Surgeons tend to act a little pushy but wouldn't you prefer somebody confident to a scared little rabbit of a person? You can tell them what surgery you prefer but also listen to their advice. I went into my 1st office visit ready to ask for one variety but I did listen to my surgeon, the points he made were very valid, he didn't advise because it was easier for him but rather better for me. He did, over several visits, make me feel I had made proper plans for,my WLS and on my surgery morning I will go to sleep in a very relaxed state knowing I'm in the right place having the right surgery and the right person with the technical skill to carry it off. Hope yours will go just that well. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

And around the world in less than 80 days my friend. You're making so many strides so quickly I barely can see you off in the distance Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Instead of picking her up encourage her to climb up to you on the couch. Mine clumb pretty well at that age. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Still healthier than 298, you've lost a high school cheerleader already. Isn't it nice to not drag her around with you? You're better than you were before, keep your diet and fluids smooth, don't slack off with exercise and you will be fine. Weight loss can be bumpy at times.

It's not necessarily great but I just had leftover collard greens cooked in low sodium turkey broth. No I'm not a GRIT- girl raised in the South but I have enough kinfolk that were , so I'm a foster child. I'm actually in Ohio but I'm the only one in my immediate family that will eat " greens" and yeah they tasted pretty good. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah I can 'splain, red and purple items stain your gastrointestinal system. Imagine you're a doctor going in to do an endoscopy, colonoscopy or other gastric surgery. You're bebopping along with your fiber-optic tube or whatever, all the sudden you see a clump of something purple-red ahead. Granted it could be leftover Jello or popsicle, but are you going to consider that's all it is? Nope your medical radar goes off--Blood Clot Ahead! In the words of the 70-80s TV series "Danger Will Robinson Danger!" And you are compelled to search further. Is it worth it to give your surgeon nervous prostration or a heart attack? Nope don't think so, so stick to other shades of popsicles etc. Your friendly purveyor of semi-useless information. Lil Me Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Glad you enjoyed,my post. I'm all over Bariatric Pal so I turn up more often than a bad penny. After many years of being a wet soggy doormat for my family and the world I have developed late stage spunkiness. I try to tell the truth with a touch,of humor. Ain't an one of us gonna get out of life alive, we are all travellers on the road of life., so might as well share the journey.Don't panic about your surgery approaching, it's just a day you'll be committing to a new and improved way of life. I look forward to my own, I might even say I get a little excited. Think it will be next month but,I'll know for certain by the end of this day. Hope we can all help you,on your journies also.

I have heard of Chris De Bruyne, person using him seemed well satisfied. Sure Ms Tipps or one of the other UK people on here will see your post and have answers about aftercare. Best wishes, I know you'll, get good care even if you have to accrue some travel time. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Kowgirl1988 I too am glad to have you back in the Bariatric fold. Maybe it's the grandma in me but I want all my little chicks safe. So now will you be going to Anchorage, Juneau or somewhere else? Must confess I don't know who are running programs in Alaska but trust you'll find the best for you. God Bless and keep you safe until his return. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
