Never to soon to start! I had mine on the 11th!?? Anyone else in June yet? And how's it going?

I've had my bout of pain with the kidney stone.

My gallbladder is long gone so hopefully I'll be OK.

Glad you are feeling better!

Kristi. i know last week you had an issue with belly pain. what did that turn out to be if i may be so bold to ask. i thought of you when i was in the ER.

Mine went away and I really think it was due to too many tummy crunches. Trying to be an overachiever

Makes me wonder.. Sometimes I wake up with lower right side belly pain ( not as much is the belly itself but a little bit to the right of it) it's tender. I mentioned it to the doctor and he more less shrugged it off some days I don't have it then other days it seems more tender.

If i where you Mitz i would press the issue. better safe that layed up doubled over in massive pain in the ER.

I can't believe this because it never happens... I got approved by insurance for a lower body lift!!! I got the call today! They told me they never get approved. Yay!!!!!

WOOT WOOT!!!! Great news!! When are you doing it? I want details, I would love to have it done, but I don't know if I have the guts, not to mention money! So very happy for you!

Luckily insurance is paying so my out of pocket will be minimal.

I am thinking December 1. I have a business trip in early October and thought if I do December 1 it is after thanksgiving and a full 3 weeks until Christmas. After losing my mom this year the holidays will not be the same so recovery at that time might be good. The surgeon's office is calling me tomorrow to confirm if that works. I work at the hospital where the surgery will be done and know the surgeon really well so I am super excited!!!

Part of me wants to do it now but waiting until December might be good so I can continue working out and getting as cardiovascular fit as possible.

Love feeling mellow!

If i've posted this before I apologize for repeating myself.. My son is accusing me of having a mid-life crisis... my new quote is it's not a mid-life crisis... it's a mid-life rebirth

I'm going to be in my friend/co-worker's wedding next summer and I'm so excited... ironically she is a year younger than my oldest child... It's fun to hang out with a my young/youthful coworker/friends...

I think you are wise to wait. Just like the RNY, you want to make sure you are in the best place possible when you have it done. Your recovery will be that much easier. I can not express how very happy I am for you!
