I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

Do you live far from the Hospital. I'm only 30 mins ago so its not too bad!!

I live about 6 or so hours from my hospital, so I get to spend that night in a motel that's across the street from the surgery center. I'll spend one night in the hospital, and one more in the motel before heading home.

i hope your bring someone i wouldn't want you to be lonely and you wil need a little help

My mom is coming with me, to give me some moral support and to drive me back home.

Wow! This is a growing group. Welcome Abbey, IndioGirl, lwesson and Dancing to the Lucky's. This is a great group.

Lynette, I am sorry to hear you are sick. I hope you feel better soon. That Z-pak works great. And I agree on the generic Mucinex. It is much cheaper and works great....{{hug}}

Marcy, I got tickled thinking of you trying to explain things to a 7 year old. I thought of the vibrator the first time I saw the name..:biggrin1:

Jackie, you are playing the waiting game with me. All of my papers have been submitted and the insurance is "reviewing it". good luck

Phyl, :clap2: congrats on the date!

cazulay, you are definitely moving fast through the process. Just goes to show how much insurance dictates healthcare...but I won't get on my soapbox now:confused:

Chimboree, glad everything went well. those arterial blood gases hurt like devil

Laurend, hang in there on the pre-op diet. it's only 2 weeks...of course, I can say that since my doc doesn't require one:) Don't ya just hate me:biggrin1:

I went to the pulmonologist yesterday and my pulmonary function test was good. However, I do have a sinus infection, which I suspected, and he put me on Amoxicillin 875 mg 2 x day for 20 days. Did you get that? 20 days. They are horse pills and I cannot have the surgery until I finish the 20 days...bummer. The earliest I would be able to have it will be July 10. I was hoping for the week of the 4th. Oh well.....still waiting for insurance approval.

did you notice I am a little upset about the 20 days of the HORSE PILL.

Dini, I can't believe I left you out. The count down is on for you are you getting excited? the calendar looks great.

BreadLady, I hope you are doing well and we hear from you this evening. I have been thinking about you all day....{{hugs}} to make you feel better.

maybe this one is better! again sorry again its in this format i'll try the the other one up ASAP.

Everyone can you please check it to make sure your dates are correct, or if you've to be moved from our TBA to a date or if I've just forgotten you.

I'm not there:think - I'm a luck 7 too 7/17/07

That sucks. I have trouble swallowing anything more than 500 mg, and I have trouble with that, too, if it is round. I had a horrid headache (the type where you just want to curl up and cry) the night before last and tried to take an Advil liquigel. Somehow, it hit my throat wrong and I gagged while I was swallowing it. I managed to get it down, but it made me nauseous and I had to throw up about 3 minutes later. I don't do well at swallowing pills, especially if I am using water. I HAVE to have something to drink with them to hide the taste or texture of the pill, and water just doesn't do it.

IndigoGirl, I don't see Dini or Breadlady on your calendar...

is there anyone else that get the reminders that someone has left a post. i'm supose to get one when people leave a post but i get one every now and again. i've checked and i'm suppose to get them all the time.

does that happen to anyone else ??

Dini - the reminders only come once in a while because you have to log on the the site...otherwise they stop sending the emails...cuts down on SPAM...a good program I think.

I'm not seeing any attachments....should I be seeing some kind of icon that will lead me to the calendar attachment? Dang, it shouldn't be that difficult!

I'm looking forward to hearing from Breadlady about the surgery...I hope she's doing well!

I'm also looking forward to our first post-op posts when we're all on drugs...See...I'm optimistic today! Something else to look forward to!

Weather sucks and we're inside today....I finished my book and will have to search for another one (not so easy in a town with no bookstores and a teeny-tiny library). I wasn't much of a book reader until last year...now I'm in a reading frenzy! AHHHHH!!! If only I could SOUND intelligent?!
