I am game.. Thinking coffee house? Somewhere we can sit and chat.. maybe Barnes and Noble you can get a coffee or tea and chat.

I looked at my paperwork. It is the first and third thrusday of the month six to seven.. What part of Chico do you live in I live northern chico off of Whitewood way.. It is close to the 711 on east ave.. I started this game at 5'2 and a half mind you 223 Now looking at 209 but today when I got on the scale it was up a few pounds... But I am not going to let it get to me.. i am kind of thinking of maybe only weighing myself at the doctor office.. I go tomorow. for a preopt.. unsure what to expect I guess not much other than him look at my incisions.. the white tape is still on them. Guessing it will fall off when ever dont want to mess with it.. So be honest how bad are the fills.. Have a good night..

I wonder if I have ever seen you there over the summer we went almost everyday. I also like the exercise bike.. If you go to a meeting this month let me know. I would like to go as well. Have you bought any new clothes yet. I will be happy to shop at the mall. I take my daughter there. I feel so out of place in those stores.. I can just almost feel the vibes why is she here ?? It would be great if the few of us could meet at a coffee house or something to chat I think it would be fun...

Glad to hear back from you so soon.. have you ever done the water arobocis ... I love that class for me it is a challange I am hoping someday it will be a breeze. I also like the exercise bikes.. I hear ya with the smaller spoons I still have some from my kids I am talking baby spoon my kids are 14 and 11.. So I am a bit of a pack rat.. Work in progress.. I guess I never realized how fast of a eater I was and big bites.. Now I really have to pay attention and eat slow and chew and consentrate.. I have tried the yoga wow that is hard stuff my body doesnt move like that. I am looking forward to seeing what new things the gym will bring they have been working upstairs a ton latley.. I went back to work today. I work and live my Mcmanus elementry school I work as a yard duty.. so just two hours a day.. I did fine had my hands in front on my stomach all day to make sure no one bumped into me.. yikes.. I wonder what kind of a group we can get together. Dr. ludwig offers classes twice a month for post surport have you ever been to those. I love logging in and seeing people have posted on this page.. I waited a long time.. happy to have buddies

we have the same surgery date

wow thanks glad to know I am not alone.. I was starting to think I was a wimp.. feel a bit better each day.. few a bit of shoulder pain nothing like it once was.. We should have a place where lapband with hernia. We are not where the others are yet. I was comparing myself to them....

Just wanting to throw my story out there. So I was banded on Oct 13.. Surgery went really well. I was told I had a large hernia prior to surgery. So that was also taken care of . I woke up with insane shoulder pain.. Which went on for a week or so. Now working on two weeks. Still really sore.. My stomach is still sore. I swear felt as it they sewed large object in there. . Now belly is itchy.. and still somewhat painful. I am just wondering if my recovery is so long due to the hernia... I have read where people have surgery and right back to work I have taken two weeks off..

I am hoping to start a help group. I am on mushy stage and needing to get in 80 grams of protein.. How do you do it.. I am still a bit swollen so get eat to much. so I am struggling.. Fill up fast. Also getting burned out on protein drinks fast Thanks in advance

I had mine on Monday.. I had to have a upper GI and chest x-ray and blood work, urine test, and a EKG. I also see I have a upper Gi scheduled after surgery as well. It is not a fun ordeal. But At least I will have the piece of mind knowing everything is where it should be.. They found a hernia while doing the upper GI Will I be in more pain after surgery due to this getting fixed as well..???

Today I went for chest x-ray blood work, ekg, urine test. and upper GI>> What a fun day :cursing: I was told I had a hital ??spelling hernia ?? I believe he said a slippage hernia also my esoftagus was full of acid reflux... Anyone else with these issues. WOuld love help with a explaination. Dont go back to doctor till next week...:thumbdown: __________________
