I think I will be at the group on the 26th.........was going camping but I don't think that is working out.

Riley they put the vote at the BOS off until 2pm tomorrow!! Ah...........frustrating. I think we are gonna get some restored funding..............I am hoping. This stress of waiting is getting to me............I just want an answer one way or another!! So tomorrow I will post...... Riley I am in 14/16's and I would love your clothes!! I don't know if I will get a fill because I am not losing right now. I do need one though..............trying to get back down before next week!!

I loved my recliner Candra. I would lend you mind if I could!! Yep the port hurts...........mine hurt for about 6 weeks than it faded out. Now I still fill it but it doesn't hurt at all!! I like knowing it is there........ I need a fill ladies for sure!! I called Richmond today and wanted to find out about vacaville since I hope to transfer there I can't do this drive so much.........to much gas money. THe office girls said Dr. Baggs was NOT seing people at Vacaville?? What?? I told her to look again but she said Vacaville was NOT for lap band patients. Come on girls I know he is but they insisted he wasn't!! I am confused. I might just email Dr. Baggs!!

Hopefully some news on the job today............ I am going in to see my PCP today!! I need to find out why I keep getting so light headed all the time. ALso gonna have them run my blood tests just in case I lose my Kaiser. I am at six months out now so I don't think the blood tests would hurt!! I am also gonna go back in and see my psychatrist. All this stress and anxiety is to much right now. It is making me feel crazy. I am gonna see about doing the anti anxiety meds for awhile until things calm down at work. I can't be this stressed all the time no good for the health. My doctor retired so I am waiting to hear back and see who I get assigned to now..............sad I really like him!! So trying to get on top of everything today....... Orthodontist this afternoon and dentest tomorrow!! Trying to get it all done just in case I lose my benefits.

Hey Candra!! Glad it went so well.......yep weird walking down the hall to your surgery!! Sounds like you didn't do anything to extreme and lucky you no pain!! I was hurting in recovery!! LOL. YOur right bending was a problem in post op!! LOL. That is why I almost pulled down the curtains back there!! No one told me I didn't need panties so I got them on but almost took the curtains down with me....... I would love to know the surgeon that was in my surgery helping Dr. Baggs............

Ah Pam you need to get some Fluid out!! I totally get the panic attack!! I got that way to when Water wouldn't stay down. I started to panic it scared me............I think if you can relax a bit than you can get the water down again..............I know for me panicing about it made the band tighten more.............. Ah Pam so sorry but yes get an unfill as soon as you can!! And I gained when I was to tight too.................I think cause I was eating ice cream and frozen yogurt and Soup to survive.............

Oh so I guess the county is gonna give CPS 3 million of the 9 million back.......voting tomorrow. That MIGHT save my job. Waiting to find out. I am hoping.......

I should change mine to.....I am stuck at 208 again. I am hoping it is TOM that made me gain but I gotta blame the spaghetti factory and olive garden this weekend for some of it!! LOL. I hope I lose it in a few days and go back to 204 Reggie I also get migraines but serious this light headed thing is a pain. I think my hormones are seriously out of whack though!! TOM has been very different after surgery.........more intense.

Hey Reggie. I am struggling too right now trying to get back on track.....to much stress and vacations........carbs are NOT my friend and now I am craving them again..........carbs and sugar I have nothing sweet in the house right now which is good cause I was looking earlier.........

wow Chris you have been up and down a bit with fills.......... I hear ya on being able to eat. I was so happy when I got my fill out and I could keep.............soup down again never mind all the other stuff. I started to feel better right away....... Hmm I am thinking I need to schedule my next appointment at Vacaville...........seems like they are there alot lately!!

I don't know about everyone else the MOM didn't really kick in for a few hours............than I was sorta miserable for awhile.........I was still having to find a bathroom a half hour before I went in to surgery!! LOL. I know for sure that MOM works..........LOL!!

10 am Jes.............stay close to a bathroom though!!! LOL

Ok Jes!! Tomorrow.................you start your prep!! Than your the next one up!! Candra let us know how you are in the morning!! Thinking about ya!! Riley I am NOT to tight either!! LOL. I need to start journalling cause I have been in bandster hell for more than a month now...........I wanna get my fast weight loss back again........ Been eating to much the last few days on vacation!! BAck to the journal

Everyone who is to tight..........I know!! Get some out before ya swell up!! LOL!! I don't ever want to be that tight again but....I really would like to be tighter than I am but never so tight that it hurts like that again.........

Ok Ladies............I have been having alot of migraines the last couple of days. TOM and I don't get why I am getting the migraines now but I am...........I get light headed and have migraines and than I start.........I don't get it but I sure don't like it!! Ok gone all weekend and really off the diet. I have had to many carbs. My band is not tight at all. In fact I barely can even tell I have a band. Even protiens go right through. I really need a fill. So weird cause 5cc's was tight, really tight awhile back............now I don't even fill it!! So I am not gaining or losing..........which is good.....sorta. BUT.............I have got to get back on the water and no carbs.......being on vacation didn't help.........to much italian food.............geez eating out and the band don't work so well............

Yea Candra so glad your on!! So no more worrying about it your on the other side........... Can you believe your banded now?? It goes really fast once you get there and get moving......... Yep you will start to drop weight here in the next couple of days!! How is your husband handling it all? What about your family? What are you telling them?? Well I can't wait to hear all the details!! And see how the next few days go for you.......... Heirtal Hernia hmm.........that might be a little sore tomorrow. But at least it is fixed now.......... Which nurse did you get this morning??

Ah cool she will be going home soon I bet!! So excited for her!! Candra post and let us know how you are doing as soon as your up and around!! :-) Been thinking about you all day!!

Yep Candra must be just about done by now!! I know I was out by 9am my surgery day............can't wait to hear how she is doing!! :-)

Yep Riley I am interested in the dresses!! LOL. Chris I hear ya I have a few days like that too. Good thing your going back. I did not go back and put up with PB'ing several times a day for almost two weeks first.......by than I was so swollen I couldn't drink anything.........argh!! I also lost real quick but once I lost the restriction went up a couple.......... Seriously being to tight is NOT a good feeling. I get the ice cream!! I was doing ice cream and clear soups and half the time that wouldn't stay down either.......... It will feel good to get some out...... Having said that I am at 5cc's right now. Seriously not much restriction at all!! I was so tight at 5cc's back in June........couldn't even eat bread. Serious this time five doesn't give me any restriction..........

Yea Candra!! I was first in the morning too........I got out by 12 noon!! Will be thinking about you all day tomorrow.......check in as soon as you can!! You will be fine!! So exciting!! This time tomorrow you'll be banded!! And yep that MOM is a killer!! Works everytime!!

I am taking off the weekend and no internet access.......my sister lives out in the canyon so I am checking out this weekend!! Riley I have to drop off my daughter at 7:30 than I head to Pinole. Depends on traffic. After that I plan to start going to vacaville............. So no layoff but definetely a transfer. I just hope it is a transfer that I can work with. If I get nights or weekends I will have to quit.......being a single mom I can't do either of those. So still in limbo but I am gonna wait and see what happens! Who knows........ Jes and Candra. MOnday and Wednesday!!! Exciting!!

Oh mine is on the 24th of Sept and I need a fill..........I am going to Pinole but Vacaville in October. I wanted two fills in September in case my insurance gets messed up so I am headed back to Pinole................he did tell me to call about vacaville later this week to see if they get any september dates...........

oh the twist is if you accept the layoff they report you refused a job and you can't get unemployment....... But it I take the job.....I will be .98 and you have to be 1.0 to get unemployment..........so either way the county ends up not having to put money towards unemployment and upper management is bragging about it..........annoying!! Chris when is your appointment in Vacaville. I am pretty sure I am on that list too!!

I am packing to leave tomorrow. So need to get outta here.......been working like crazy closing cases today. Went to BOS meeting today to hear all the budget talk..........final vote tomorrow.........upper management sold us out I guess I shouldn't be to shocked.........they say one thing to us another thing up front.......GRRR So no news to report really. Waiting..........I didn't get a pink slip but I did get notification my position is on the list for deletion...........pink slips went out today and yesterday. They said 64......than 85..........now today they said 105 workers.............gone!! So just waiting for the other shoe to drop I guess..........they have two weeks for people laid off to leave than they decide what happens to the rest of us.......I know even if I stay I get laid off.......... The county plans to lay off....get this........everyone!! They they will hire you back part time .......less benefits it you don't like it they said you can take the layoff and leave........ So who know........waiting. I will be off a few days I am outta town in the morning.....

Hey all just checking in.........overbusy this week trying to get ready for vacation and get my office moved in between. All this stuff is crazy. Budget hearings. Sacramento County is blaming the State for everything. Pink slips started going out yesterday. I am NOT on the first round of cuts. 85 people were. 20 more than anticipated. It could go up another 20 by the end of the week. Lost alot of good friends. I did get a "your position is being deleted letter." I guess we figure out what that means next week. I know it is not great but after the final budget on Friday I will know what it means. If they fund 5 more positions than I get to stay, if they don't than............I have no idea where I end up. Could be anywhere. Management (one woman) gets to pick where you go if your position is deleted. Sorta scary cause this woman is not beyond putting her friends in good spots...........power in inept hands is scary!! I have not been impressed by her so I won't be picked for one of the better spots!! :-)
