I wish I could be there but my son has a game that night. I will be driving in late that night and getting up early the next morning to finish the trip to Denver. Maybe after basketball season.

My boy is a varsity starter. I have to be there for his game.

Jamie, I'll see you in the office for our second fill!

Is anyone else having problems with not getting email notifications of new postings, or is it just me? I had to log on to get to ALL the new postings.

I only get email notification of PM's, so I can't say. But I've read about a lot of people having problems with email notification since they updated to the new site.

Well I am getting my gall bladder out, as well as the tumors on my liver that Dr. K found. Since losing the weight I have stones now.

All this before the end of the year. Yikes

Sorry to hear about your gallbladder problems. Good luck getting it out, and the tumors too!!

How do gall stones develop, and how is that related to your weight loss??? Just curious...

I've read that Dieting causes a shift in the balance between cholesterol and bile salts in the gallbladder. In other words the cholesterol increases and the bile salts decreases. Eating causes the gallbladder to contract, emptying out bile salts, if you aren't eating, the gallbladder doesn't empty out bile salts, causing an increase in cholesterol, which in turn causes gallstones to be formed. Rapid weight loss puts you at highest risk for gallstones. They used to say if you were Fat, Forty and Female your risk for having gallstones was high. Pregnancy is also another cause for gallstones. So I think if you're going to get them, there is not much you can do. I've tried to eat regularly and not skip meals, hoping this will keep gallstones at bay. A girl can hope anyway!!

Brandy! Good luck with all of that, and please let everyone know how it goes. Crud.

Miss dee, I will definitely let you know my Denver itinerary. My presentation is on Saturday the 4th so I'll probably come in on the 3rd or something. We probably won't recognize each other cuz we'll be mere shadows of our former selves!!!
