Do you live in the Reno / Sparks area and are banded???

I would love to get together to compare notes, cup of coffee, start walking with a partner etc.

Interested?

The only time I started itching was on my stomach and it was 5 days post op. Itchy itchy all around the incisions, if I let myself I could really do some scratching injuries.

slept all night last night. Woke up pretty sore but feel really god right now. Just started to eat my breakfast. 1/2 cup of beef barley soup.

Chris

OMG!!! went to eat some more soup, ate about 3/4 of a 1/2 cup portion and I started getting full!!! I had to put it back and not finish it!! This has really got to be a first for me!!!

Pam, how you doiing today

Chris

I am going just fine, I don't go in until 230p

I am already thirsty.

So you hit restriction RIGHT ON!

So...................... It works, I pray I have the same experience. I am soooo happy for you.

My Mom snuck in and saw my Xray when I was in recovery after the Barium and she said the hole is TEENY!! I am sure it will go down as the swelling goes down. I do know that he was able to get a 10cc band on, but I guess it was a tight squeeze.

If you see Tina in there today Pam (she was my nurse) tell her I said hi

Chris

BTW, don't be too suprised if you gain some weight right after surgery. I ended up 3 lbs heavier from all the fluidsand stuff. Today I am back down one of those

Chris

I will tell you a story: The overnight nurse coincidently ended up being on of my husbands coworkers wife.

They were talking about jambalya for Fat Tuesday and yadda yadd and she said that is my husband.

It is a small world.

I will say Hi to Tina if I see her.

Chris, what is the pros and cons about band sizes; do you know?

I dont know if there is any pros or cons, just makes a difference about the size of your stomach. I believe they try and get the smallest one on they can so you have more adjustment as you go along.

CHRIS

I know Dr. Kozar just "cringes" when I ask my questions! LOL!

Chris on your new computer do you have a fax program?

I will fax you the paperwork the nutrionist gave me yesterday, really good tips on picking out foods and if they are good or bad foods.

It would not hurt...

no idea about the fax. can you email them?? I will pm you my home email

Well, I am back home in Hawthorne again. Got my pre-ops done yesterday. 6 days and holding!!!!

Welcome NVgirl! You guys must be somebody's pet, I never did have a a special POC for me. I just kept calling them til I had followed up on everything.

Pam, I Called your office, you were gone already. My fax is plugged in but I IMAGINE YOU HAVE OTHER THINGS ON YOUR MIND!!!!!!Good Luck girl! I am thinking of you!

Chris glad you are doing well, I enjoy seeing your posts. You know we are all just too excited about getting ours done.

Gail, Just trying to keep you up to date on what you might expect.

I feel well enough today that we are going to go to costco tonight to do some shopping. I wanted to go on a walk, but as cold as it is, this will work better.

I have not had any (real) pain meds all day, just tylenol. I have a feeling thet the Lortab is plugging me up so the sooner I can get off that the better. I may still take some tonight, but we will see

Chris

I used to live in Reno and graduated from UNR in 96. Just wanted to say hi and give a shout out to Reno! Good luck everyone, I wish I had a Virginia Lake to walk around. Just think how good you'll look at Tahoe this summer.

Take Care,
