Riley are they making you do a prego test? Or is that just my IUD self:D Except im getting that thing out, ive decided, i wanna try the nova ring after its safe after surgery, any of you try it??? Im so sick of loosing hair, getting bloated and no period! I am balding at such a young age, and i have lost 100% of my drive;)

I would loveee to!!! Natomas is fun!

My preop tests are more blood im not sure which ones :thumbup: and a pregnancy test 1 week prior, and another EKG. (but my ekg was abnorm.)

All of my apts take place between march12-13:) Classes are on Fri Dr appts are on Thurs. :thumbdown:

YAY! That is awesome! I am so happy for u! You should have taken the 3/31 date though!! we could go thru it 100% together:)

yea the no sandwhich thing sucks:) Believe me i understand:) Sounds like you are doing fabulous! My goal is to be at 220 by surgery day and im sure its possible, i weighed today and was 223 but i try not to get to excited unless it stays there for a week:D We are moving Saturday which im very stressed about. If your mom thinks ur ekg is norm it probably is.. mine was easily noticeable. Also just email dr baggs and ask if ur ekg is ok, he told me mine just was fast with an extra beat, so he wasnt worried. Well we all know what dr fisher said to christina about no cm appt.. and no classes.. well she was recently told thats not true. Dr baggs told me id be able to get in before convention (6 wks) well that would be true if he wasnt taking the firs thalf of this month off lol. So i think she meant it in all aspects, diets and rules:D Reggie, yes we do need to meet up, id love to see ur skinny self

Yea she said NO sandwiches. My signature breakfast is mixed spinach with cottage cheese, she said because i was mixing with my protein not allowed. She said to ALWAYS have the protein first, then the fruits vegies, dairy then bread. So the sandwiches u are having she doesn't like. To be honest i don't remember much, I got there and weighed in and went to talk to her, started out asking how i lost weight that's when we covered the "do not mix anything", then we talked about my test, and the question i missed was the what causes something to get stuck.. i said just food, there is more reasons. Then I asked about the exercise thing, and she said to not over exersize, she said a normal 30-1hr is safe, and perfect, not to over excersize, because that will bring quick results but not forever results. Then it went to appt times.. and she said March 3 i told her that wont work because of my convention, and she asked the dates then i ended up with march 31 after my convention. Then i went out to the waiting area and got my nurse and surgeon check up, and got my class dates. (12 and 13 of march.) The appt was actually long, not sure if it is because i brought christina but it was a bit over an hour. Do you have a pic of ur ekg, i can tell u if i think there is an issue, the only reason i knew mine was off is cause i went to school for that:D My surgeon is Dr Baggs, oh also we were told the drs are to be trusted for the surgery room and thats IT!:thumbup:

HI, Well she was adimet about no babies which made me sad, and i just got a weired Vibe i was very uncomfortable. When you eat btw, dont mix anything, ur one slice of toast needs to be ate AFTER the tuna.. And i have been mixing them, and she said we need to stop doing that. My ekg was abnormal, so we gotta do another one. My appt w/baggs and the nurse is Fri 13th

I am a March Bandster!:cursing: March 31 is my date:D

Ok So I had my meeting with my CM last wed, and well, it didn't go as well as anticipated, got one question wrong on the test which was good, but i left double questioning my decision. I was offered March 3, but i have Las Vegas March 22 so that wasn't going to work.. So now its March 31. The cm ordered me an additional ekg to check on my last one, and more blood, eek:) Well that is my update:D

It took like maybe 2 min? I laid down and she put the things on me... and then she said ok get up. lol it was super fast. THe blood work took way longer..

my multi isnt chewable so ill have to go shoping..

Crap i need to go buy some vitamins.. i have centrum the daily vitamin, which ones did u get?

Yeah i lost it fast, now its like my body has settled on a lb a week. And i do work out i even got me a trainer. How i keep going is inches are dropping.. and im in a 16.. somewhere i haven't been since i was 16 lol:) Im nervous about tomorrow..

Tell her i said GOOD LUCK! I was at goal when i went to my psych appt, i do find it is slower after i lost the first 10%.. Oh well soon ill have a tool;)

Lol duh huh:) we might be in the same preop classes too:) Sorry i am not good at remembering much of anything right now... My life is so sucky right now, my hubby is being laid off next month. And then i read that unemployment might not be going on anymore.. so yeah.. im watching top chef.. lol sabbotage.. im not hungry though. My trianer today yelled at me for not eating bfast, i felt stupid:( But i diserve it my skipping breakfast makes workingout really hard.. How is everyone else doing with their work outs:D

The richmond program has a meeting group, call the ladies and they will tell you when:D

Oh good! I am surprised Dr Baggs didnt tell us that at the surgery meeting, because that was one my concerns. Riley, have you found a difference with the scales?? Riley your siggy doesn't have your appt info or anything, when did you start the program??? Also for anyone i got my ekg and bloodwork done almost 3 weeks ago, i hope that helps me get a soon date..

HI!!! Ok so LBT makes it impossible to log in lol. But im here now:) So riley, they offered 2/18!!! I hope that date is still open when i go in tomorrow. If i cant get surgery before the end of the month ill have to wait until the end of march, because i HAVE to go to vegas:) I am nervous about tomorrow, keep sabotaging me, but im trying just to drink water and eat fruit... :cursing: the scale said 227 this am.. Christina is going with me tomorrow:) I am so excited.. and happy i will have some support:) I am proud of all of us, we need our own board!!!:tt1:

What is in my sig is the appts i had in the order:) I do not have to see the nutrition lady.. They had a weight check appt or something to talk about my tests that they waived.. My next step is CM and thats next week:)

Unfortunately that wont work, Sheena on here has to get to i believe its 240.. and she was at 245 and called so she could get an appt, and they said she had to go to a local kaiser and weigh in first before they would do that.. but it could never hurt to try, id just hate for them to know that I was trying to in a way cheat the system if it was me..:wink2: Good luck!!:Dancing_wub:

HI LADIES! SO im gonna do my check in here now:) Been busy we are moving it sucks but kinda got to my hubby is out of work in 2 weeks:( My stats.. well the Case Manager appt is scheduling 1 month out, for everyone that wanted to know. I had my surgeon appt the 2nd they scheduled my Case manager appt for the 2nd, BUT i called and was super sweet and got in on the 28th.. lol. Not much but soo much:) So i go next week! I am down 5lbs since i saw the surgeon so thats good:) I have done all my preop work, the blood was good, my heart came back with some issues, but the cardiologist cleared me:) I am down idk i think its 35lbs? since my NOV 4 class:) Yes he waived the one appt but the classes thru the case manager i guess are required. Hopefully surgery will be soon, because i have a trip in march that i want to be on decent foods with.. its my convention:) Other then that all I am doing is watching my cals, and i am about to have to quit my trainer:( but yeah doin that too. I bought walk away the lbs, LOVE THAT!!! Talk to you all soon:)

Im sure it will all get organized out, considering we just did go thru the holidays..:thumbdown: I hope everyone gets their appts reallllly soon!

Thank you everyone for your advice, i hope to hear from dr baggs soon, I was dumb for going in on a friday evening lol i should have gone when he would still be in office. Oh well. I will keep yu all updated:D You made me relax a lot. edited to add: my blood work all came back fine today.
