:eek: Ok today i have to go see my surgeon.. eeeek ! i'm scared of him although he is quite smaller then me LOL:wink:. .. BUT, I had a bad case of pneumonia recently and was hospitalized for a week and then sent home on prednisone for another 2 weeks., and lets just say after losing 8 lbs last time i saw Dr B.. I am not up and over that .. i know all the Doc's at my work say it's because i'm not smoking on top of being on prednisone.. but thats no excuse he'll tell me i'm sure!! Sooo wish me luck.. the little bugger scares me .. and i was so hoping to be down more next time i saw him and also plan a date for surgery.. but now i'm afraid it'll be pushed out because of the pneumonia.. soooo i'm gonna cross my fingers and leave you all with this quote from my Gal lady Gaga! "Peace. it does not mean to be in a place where there is no trouble, noise, or hard work. it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." - Lady Gaga (:

Thats it.. I'm on a search to find myself! Me, the one I remember from years ago.. The one that looked too cute when she went out and knew it ... The one her husband married... The flirty one...The sexy one.. The romantic one..The singer, The Dancer.......The confident one!! Where did she go? she's lost beneath all of this contentment..sadness..and self doubt. I'm going to find her again, she is in there somewhere I just know it...and when I find her.. I'm never gonna let her out of my sight again... Believe:lovechoc:

Hello, I'm new to site. I have been going through the process to have LAP-BAND® surgery this coming July (in the next 4 weeks~!) BUT I ended up getting Pneumonia on May 5. I was in the Hospital for 6 days on oxygen and heavy antibiotics, and also prednisone which I remained on for 2 weeks after being discharged. I'm so upset because i was doing so well . I had lost 8 lbs, my surgeon was happy, i was happy, and then this happend. Now i'm being told the anestesiaologist won't tell me for at least 2-3 months after a clear chest X-ray which I don't have yet. And thanks to prednisone, i have gained back the 8 lbs and a few more to boot!:scared2: The only good outcome is that i did manage to quit smoking completley from 1-1/2 packs a day to 0, because the hospital stay scared the heck out of me ...
