Lulu, She was non-reactionary in my opinion. Lights on but no one home. It was just odd!

I watched the Dr. Phil special last night on octo-mom. Octo-mom, Gloria, Dr. Phil, and the Angel nurses all met at Dr. Phil's house to have a big Pow WoW! Based on that meeting octo-mom agreed to accept the generous offer to have nursing care for all 14 of octo-mom's children. And Octo-mom was able to purchase a home, which appears is being funded from donations. No mention of octo-mom's dad being the person who bought the house. Perhaps that was a rumor. Trust accounts are available at Dr. Phil's web site and the Angel nurses' web site. Dr. Phil has a follow up special today, in which he states he has a big surprise for octo-mom, which no doubt is some type of personal financial contribution or some type of foundation contribution. The Angel nurses stated that 3 of the 8 children appear to be autistic. And one of the new-borns appears to have downs syndrome. All I can say at this point, is thank goodness the Angel Nurses are able to donate these wonderful services to the babies. Four of the babies are ready to go home today, but the hospital will only release them two at a time. It looks as though two babies will come home in two days. They are just waiting for the cribs and escrow on the house to close. The escrow on the house was suppose to close yesterday.

Today: 45 minutes slow walk 2.17 miles at 3% incline. I received all my lab work back and the doctor and I reviewed it together last Friday. Based on the results, we increased my thyroid medication from .088mg to .1mg. We are hoping that this slight modification will help my poor thyroid and eliminate all the symptoms I have been exhibiting since the second week in January. I must say my quality of life has sucked, but I am very hopeful, I can get my energy back!:laugh:

Finally, some peace of mind and from lab work results. My thyroid level was out the very low end of what they call the "normal range." A result like this combined with all the symptoms I have been exhibiting requires a modification in thyroid meds. My symptoms include extreme hair loss, joint pain, feeling cold, loss of memory, inability to concentrate, uncontrollable hunger, body aches, tiredness, and difficulty walking. This all started back the second week in January and we are just not addressing all these symptoms. Some times it is so challenging to get a doctor to listen to what your experiencing. All though I was testing in the "normal range," I was feeling anything but normal. My quality of life was impeded by all these symptoms. Anyway, my meds were adjusted last Friday from .088mg to .1 mg. It's hard to believe that a little organ AKA "thyroid", can wreak havoc on your body when it is not working properly. The OBGYN doctor states it can take two weeks before the new meds start yielding any results. I have a follow up appointment with her on April 6 to do more blood work and go over the mammo and ultra sound results.

The WINNER just woke up!

Yep, just wait...you know that person is lurking out there somewhere.

Oh what a beautiful day to skate away as the WINNER!!!!:laugh:

My doctor utilizes a numbing agent. I have never felt any pain or discomfort with my fills. I don't look at needles ever ever ever!!!! Good luck!

But TQUAD pulls a Tanya Harding and trips up Tapshoes, while skating off as the WINNER! :biggrin::laugh:

Not so quick Kiz, I will take the the award for being the WINNER!

Last one in, is the WINNER! :cursing::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Oh, I can of one person who fits this criteria.:cursing:

So true...there is no difference between her whoring and a street walker. All for the love of money. And no matter how people try to spin it, it is just wrong on so many levels to sell the children's story and images.

Oh great let's put the kids on the bidding block. Stupidity at its worse.

Yes, she is mentally ill and needs help.

And the winner is. TQUAD64 I would like to thank all the little bit for this....

Yesterday: No exercise

California sunshine and winner all on the same day. Life is Good!

I believe the child who was smacking octo-mom around is the autistic child. Autistic children have a difficult time with over stimulating environments. Throw in t.v. cameras and interviewers and 8 newborn babies and this child will be having more issues. Why put any of your children through this stress and especially an autistic child. Not fair to the kids.

I loved the movie and Sean Penn is a great actor. I am glad he received the Oscar!:confused:

Not so fast everyone! Winner is spelled TQUAD64. :confused:

It sounds like an overfill to me, but I am not a doctor. I would not let this go until next week for resolution. I would call my doctor and insist that they see me as an emergency case either today or tomorrow. You should not continue on like this over the weekend. In the mean time, stay away from solids inlight of the fact the some solids are causing you to vomit. Continous vomiting can cause a band to slip and you don't want that to happen. I hope all will be well with you. Keep us posted.

I have not heard the band lasts for life. My doctor told me that the FDA states the Band product lasts for 10-years. My doctor states is can last longer than 10-years, but that it is a piece of equipment and as such will not last forever. Here are links to the FDA web site and FDA reports pertaining to Bands, just in case you are interested. U S food and Drug Administration Home Page Search Results: GASTRIC BANDS

Thanks for posting.:confused:

Wow, time for a new PC doctor who is more supportive. I believe in being well informed and you should know that not everyone succeeds with the Band. However, medical journal studies pertaining to WLS and in particular banding, show a high success rate compared to individuals who are just on a modify diet and exercise program. Check out the following threads if you have time. You can down load free medical studies pertaining to WLS by using the search tool at the links below.
