of course you were missed, Cloe!! Sorry to hear you were not well.....you will feel even better soon as the "proper" meds kick in. I had a bad kidney infection last year, so I can relate to the pain....(thankfully no stones).....the meds work wonders!! Take care though!!

all the best on your post-op phase suns!

s'okay Neenagh...just pick yourself up, dust off and move on!!! (hope it was good though!!).

Hey Taymac....you sound so chipper!!! YEEEHAAA!!!! Congrats and I wish you a speedy and uneventful recovery...as I told Doriana....get yourself some sugar free Delmonte juice popsicles....they saved my but for the first several days post-op!!!! Welcome to bandland!

Great to hear things went well Doriana! Take it day by day and you will soon be feeling better. To all those Americans who keep on telling us Canadians to buy "adult" liquid tylenol....how many times do we have to say...HELLLLOOOOOO CANADA HERE>>>>>>>different country....not the same products!!!!! Yeeeeesh; it gets frustrating. Anyways.....sorry Doriana....had to vent. So, yes, as some others have mentioned, I also took children's liquid tylenol and gravol......you can start taking your Vitamins right away if you like. I didn't (thankfully) have much gas pain but I did have gasX and oval on hand. My saviour during the first several days were sugar free (Delmonte juice) popsicles!! Good luck on your recovery!

Good luck Taymac & see ya on the other side!

Lol Lol Lol

Can't wait to find out how everything went Doriana!!!!

crap...ya mean I gotta get used to Mandi's presence for the Long Haul??!!!! :phanvan

Hiya Suns.....welcome to the "other side".....glad to hear it went so well...especially in lieu of the fact you had it done in Mexico. That is awesome that you have a fill doctor. Have a happy post op time!

Khrissy....I had mine done at TLBC as well and had to do a 2 week pre-op diet. Frozen yogurt was definitely out of the question!!! But if you want a "concrete" answer, call or e-mail Nisrine and run it by her!!!! You're almost there.....don't give up!

CONGRATULAIONS MANDI!!! ONEDERLAND!!! WHOOOOOOOO!!! Awesome! :clap2: :clap2: :wow2: :eek:

stop pickin' on me!!!! Cloe....Mandi's pickin' on me....make her stop!!!

I'll never tell!

No, but they actually know me (& that I'm Yoda) and see me in real life and I don't cherish them seeing me in my underwear!!

Mandi, good luck with the MoM....it DOES work. I only used it once (shortly after being banded) and refuse to EVER use it again....it was so beyond disgusting for me. Luckily the senoket (or however u spell it) works well for me....it takes up to 20 hrs to work on me but it does work!! Unfortunately, now your body is getting used to the habit of waiting an hour lying there to fall asleep....you will have to re-train it. Make sure you don't use your bed for anything BUT falling asleep and sleeping (& sex, obviously!!! hehe).....what I mean is, don't read in bed, don't watch TV in bed etc..... I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP machine so I now have awesome sleeps (have used it for about 5 yrs now). Before that, I had the same troubles as you. Have you had a sleep test done? Anyways....good luck on both counts!

Right on Wheezy....I'm glad that ur fill story was boring and happy!

That is great Doriana....I know you are ready for this....and I'll be thinking of you!

haha that is cute Weenette; thanks...I had been wondering where it stemmed from! I also like the lil' yellow guy!

LOL @ the headless Neenagh....okay. I know too many "real" people on here to ever post my before pic!!!! Tis very scary!

a few reasons Mandi: number one, your body will build up a resistance to it...so eventually, you will be taking pills for nothing: they won't help you fall asleep (& why put a drug in your body for nothing?). Then what happens is people will double/triple up on dosage etc (NOT good) and then your body will build up resistance to THAT. Second of all....if you do it for longer than recommended....your body will never get used to falling asleep on it's own. And finally...."not sleeping" might be masking a different (more serious) problem and if you just treat the "symptom" you aren't treating the ailment. :paranoid Why....whassup?

I really think that is a wise decision, Dawn! Enjoy your time in Mtl!

Hey Khrissy....thought you might be interested to know that I had the exact same starting weight as you....and the same goal weight! Although that goal I just made up in my head....once I get to 160 or something, I might be perfectly happy with it and make THAT my goal....so we'll see. Anyways.....good luck!!! I'm excited for you too. yes, and by the way...I think that "text" is in your signature block...so it will show up each time unless you delete it!!

Hmmmmmmmmmm half compliment, half insult!!! Oh well, I'll take what I can!

Lets hope he doesn't sweat on you Wheezy!!!
