  1. Thanks all. This is one time I will NOT be listening to Dr's orders. Mac--I am so sorry. I have been there, not fun at all. My thoughts are with you! Sick--lol...I agree.
  2. Yeah, thanks for that reminder...lol...blah.... I will be returning to it next week though, walking can't kill me. And if it does, I will be still a small so I will be happy. Sick aren't I? Anyone watching women's volleyball? Seriously I thought I was tall, but 6'7". WOW! Amazing! :tongue:
  3. The dietician and the PA. They are nuts.
  4. They told me 156 is too low. I feel fine. I have a good BMI, what is the point. lol...
  5. lol... no need for me to think of drama, i got lots of it. Anyone want some of mine How about the whole "gain weight" thing, any takers??
  6. ya, thanks. That was in March, pre tt and stuff. Um, my bfff is nit being very suportive right now! lol.... does this mean the b is standing for b*tch right now? lol... I had my first meal let loose and I did very well. I had a baked potato with sour cream and butter. A small one. SO I said no to the bacon cheeseburger than someone (DH) offered me. I will be ok, I can say no. Although an egg mcmuffin sounds damn good.....
  7. Thanks Kari. I am glad to hear that someone else can have an unfill and not gain. I don't want to loose, just not gain. Believe me, I have screamed my head off. All of this hell has got to pay off in the end for all of us! Thanks to everyone, I need you all more than ever! Hugs
  8. Thanks everyone for the well wishes and hugs. I slept like a baby through the night (with the help of drugs..lol) and had no episodes of feeling like I was going to die. But I woke up to the strangest feeling ever, a rumbling in my tummy. I can say in the 2 years with the band I have never ever woke up hungry. What a strange sensation! lol...I am going to try to make myself a nice chocolate peanut butter shake for breakfast. Yummy! The pain is killing me. I am a big baby when it comes to that. And I am dying for a bath, but I have until next Wednesday for that, so I am going to wash up in the sink. I think what really hurts is the spot where she accessed it yesterday. Man, oh man.
  9. I am a Hurley bandster as well. I love them all! I had surgery there 2 years ago. I love them, especially my Dr. Farhan. But the PA Christi ROCKS!
  10. Ya, but in all honesty I won't do it. I am very very happy where I am.
  11. I would love permanent eye lashes. I need some killer ones...lol...:cursing:
  12. lol...denise I am thinking you need a margarita! :wink2: have one for me. I am so scared to death that I am now wide open with the band. Can anyone say "OH NO!!!" :cursing:
  13. Hey all Thanks to my girl Crystal for letting ya'll know how I am doing. Well after much deliberation, called Inamed and consulting with everyone on the book, they decided that I have slipped and are treating me as such, I couldn't get the barium down at all today. SO I am now completely empty. I am broken hearted and scared to death. I will be in resting mode for 4-6 weeks. They are hoping it was caught so fast that it can heal. They had to access by the new port and the new incisions. SO I feel horrible there. BUT I am no longer chocking, but night time is the rest test they said. I AM TRYING TO REMEMBER that I am hot as hell, lol....not that I have a big head but it is the only way I can get through this....ugh... Bad news is now I am underweight, so putting on a bit won't hurt me during the rest. They want me to gain 5-10. MAN oh man, what a change!
  14. Be prepared to loose lots and lots of sleep! :thumbup:
  15. Froggi I am so sorry. Sounds like my drama is rubbing off on you little one, I am sorry! It will all get worked out, I promise. Have faith! (((((Froggi)))))
  16. Exact same here Leslie. And honestly my man wasn't that attracted to me, so it was never a big deal I didn't want it. Now he is enjoying it to say the least!
  17. Surgery update... Well I am back from surgery. Things didn't go smooth from the start. There was a bad accident on 127 and we had to get off. We got lost. BUT I did make it there a half hour late. But they did take me anyways, thank goodness. Surgery itself went well. But right now I am feel absolutely horrible. I can not sleep, everytime I nod off I am awoken by choking on my mouth. I am gagging on my own stomach vile. I have tried everything to stop it, nothing is working. They took out 3.3 ccs and put back only 3 so I am sure that I am not too tight. I am truly exuasted and in a huge amount of pain. I know if I could fall asleep I would get rid of the pain for a bit. I can say this is truly WORSE than the TT. At least then I could rest and get my mind off hte pain. But on the cool note, I do have my old port here with me. lol... Only me eh? I am going to make a shadow box with my before picture with the port in it. To my bandster friends, you would be amazed at our friends that live in us. Mine has huge knicks all over on it. I know it from all the times they couldn't access it right. Keep me in your thoughts, I need this pain to ease and this chocking to stop. I need some rest.
  18. Hey ya all I am off again to surgery! I hope to hell they get it right this time or I am gonna kill someone. I called yesterday to make sure they had the port. I was told she had it in hand. I will be complaining and calling the paitient advoacte after today. This is beyond a normal screw up. It should have been taken care of a long long time ago. Wish me luck everyone! Sad that I feel I do need it! lol.. :thumbup:
  19. No, but they last 12 hours so you use only 7 days.
  20. Thanks, I need hugs. I am ready to give the hell up on it all..... :biggrin: Pitty party, table for 1 RIGHT HERE!
  21. I love my surgeon though. He is my bariatric this time. WHY does this always happen to ME? They told me today was "All on them". WTF....
  22. I got lucky there big time! I never had to do the BC thing! We went through infertility and the problem is me, so I never have to worry about getting knocked up! lol... But I do also think the stress of your 30s sucks. I just wish I could be as care free as I was when I was in my 20s. Just not so anymore!
  23. You know what guys I am sick and tired of being screwed over by the world. Screw karma. I try to be the best person to everyone I can be, and all I get is spit on. Surgery was a bust. 2 MAJOR screw ups/ 1. They lost me but I had gone no where, I was hooked up to IVs where they left me for 6 hours. 2. No one ordered my replacement port so I got sent home. GRRRR.......
  24. Thanks Crystal for letting everyone know. I am beyond pissed. I have a huge bruise on my arm from taking the IV out myself. I sat for 3.5 hours over the surgery time before my Dr even came to see me. Seems that they F*ing lost me. BUT seriously I never moved. Then while the Dr was there he realized there was no port there for me. They called to other hospitals but couldn't find one. The one that should have been there as a back up was gone. SO I waited another 1.5 hours while that did that shit. Finally the Dr came back and said they couldn't find it and he would come in early Wednesday to do it. He wanted to do it tomorrow afternoon, but DH stood up for me. There is NO WAY on earth I could not eat until the afternoon!! SO I go back Wednesday morning at 5 am. Man, oh man. I am so sick of my bad luck or bad karma. I swear to go I am a good person! MAN!
  25. Does anyone else use "Instead"? It is a diaphram like device. You can wear it 12 hours. It works pretty well.
