LOL!!! I was thinking the same thing! "Wow, he looks like he's doing exercise...wait, no he doesn't. He's just gotta use the bathroom!" :thumbup:

I'm back home in Florida after being banded Sept. 3. My road is finally passable after Fay's flooding and most roads are open again. Every day is a little better. I'm glad I stayed a few days after surgery. Walking the airport and flying wasn't the most comfortable. We drove to the mountains (height 7,500 ft.) and took a walk the day before leaving Denver. It was beautiful but I wouldn't advise it so soon after surgery, lol. I was going to go back to work today but am putting it off until Wednesday. I hope all those who are newly banded are doing well :thumbup:

Mini: your idea about Oregon coast: of course, I would say that's the perfect way to do it! But I am prejudiced, being a native Oregonian.:blushing:

Okay, I am going to say that I am feeling a little down now.....I have asked twice if anyone wanted to meet for a bite on the Tuesday I fly in and out for my fill and no one acknowledged my request, let alone say they might meet me....oh, wait, Denver, you mentioned something earlier.

What's up, girls? As I recall, it was Dee who had the gas problem on the bench:blink:! I haven't been there long enough to stink it up yet!! Sheesh....:sad::biggrin::sad::cursing: I am feeling very alone:crying::cry_smile: Possibly could drive me to drink!:thumbup::martini_shaken: Doesn't anyone want to meet for an adult beverage of some kind:beer_yum:

Deb, I suggested we meet at the Great Atlanta bread Company which is just north of the Aurora Mall. They have great soups! how about 6pm? Tell us the date again of you fill.

Yay, another new Bandster! It will be my turn soon!!! :thumbup:

Happy to hear you're doing well! I hope you're not in Hurricane Ike's path, because he's done terrible things to the Caribbean, and I think he's headed that way. :cry_smile:

I am flying in from Portland on the 22nd for my surgery on the 24th. Hooray! Has anyone had any trouble getting their medications through airline security? I know they come in liquid form so I wasn't sure if I would need to check my bag with the medication or not.

I also saw someone said they got a packet from Dr. K. Did you get this at your pre-op appt., did they mail it to you, or are you talking about the emailed documents his office sent for my phone consultation.

My official pre-op diet starts on Weds. I am so scared my liver won't shrink in time but I haven't been eating flour or carbs for 10 days already so hopefully that will help too!

Hi Michelle. I was able to carry my liquid meds onboard, but it wasn't easy. One screener was planning to take them away, but her supervisor said if it was medically necessary I could keep them.

All I got from Dr. K. was the email stuff. I didn't receive a separate packet.

I'm sure your liver will be fine.

When I went through the airport, they let you take the liquids, as long as you have them out and ready for them to check. Good luck with the preop diet!

Okay, this is kinda' dumb, but here goes. I was doing some laundry tonight. Normally I take all of my clothes out of the washer and hang them up to dry to prevent any shrinkage. Tonight I went to take my clothes out of the washer and thought "Gee, I'll put these in the dryer. It would be just fine if they shrunk a little because everything's too big". YAY!!!!!
