  1. Then why when I was in LPN school did we all have to learn? And in my state it's RN are the only ones permitted to start an IV but LPN can remove them if they have been.taught.

Have been now a 44-46C, let's see if my ta tas say Bye or not. That's the reason I say I want to be a Junior 15 goal instead of 14 or 16, juniors are less busty,

    November 2018 Sleevers!?!?

    And I will be 🙏praying for you that your plans are underwritten By GOD himself. I believe you would not have progressed this far without His Help. I had my RNY September 5th after 3 years and 3 weeks of seeking. And I am thankful to my surgeon, my Hospital, Ohio State University in Columbus 48 miles from where I live, but most of all GOD who loves and sustains me on my daily path. And I want yours to be all you wish and more! your new friend Frustr8😛

    Cash cost in the US

    Saw somewhere recently that Bariatric Surgery,is cheapest in Sour Dakota.. Is this true? I have heard of reduced rates in Michigan, Louisiana. Florida, Nevada and Texas, is this true?, is a pot at the end of the rainbow for someone seeking a more budget friendly area?

    You are recreating yourself as you heal and it can be bewildering. Eventually things do smooth out. Or at least that's what I have been told, I'm only 5 weeks past surgery myself.

    As long as they reach from your hips to the floor, I would count it as a Victory!

    Bingeing with Bypass

    EGD will on for Friday, if I had cancelled.I would be SO out of luck. They are now booking elective procedures into Thanksgiving, and it's possible not until January 2019. Do I want another 2-3 months of bland.runny tasteless flop and slip? Don't think So! People ask does THIS scare me? Nope this will be my 3rd since June 2015, I'm in the USA where I get to go Sleepy'-'Bye, at least that's better than some places in Europe where they sit you upright in a dental chair,spray some numbing solution in your mouth and do it while you are fully conscious. Now THAT would be scary!
  12. Update: after nearly exhausting all ideas, I called my late husband's 1st girlfriend. Well she really was,but there is more to the story. Kay and I had been friends long before I found out they used to date. I was getting pretty sad, all the people who I had numbers on, seem to have them changed or disconected. I think many are discontinued their. landlines and going with cell alone. So I called Kay to ask if she could think of anyone, and she said "Why not me?" Gosh I wasn't go8ng to ask because I thought she'd be busy. Funny she had been thinking about me, before I called So yes,i am going. Asked on Tuesday, and they said if I missed Friday, they were booking out until after Thanksgiving, and into January 2019. No thank you very much! Up to 3 more months of a bland liquid diet, I am not sure I can handle that. So think good thoughts on Friday and hopefully there w8ll be answers.

    Why liquids only?

    And maybe to imprint in your mind " I am going to need a LOT MORE than a couple glasses of water or other fluid all day!" I personally believe we all do better on FLUID DRIVE than bumpty- thumpty our little jalopy🚗 along Life's Road!
