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?

Lynette, Enjoy every moment of this, the help won't last forever! At least, not at my house!

Dini, Sounds like Adam's not so good to you! You are too young to deal w/that kind of thing!

dmtjet, yeah, I'm figuring I'll stretch it out about another week or so, and then I'll pitch in and help him.

KathyBad, Isn't it awful how the insurance thing is? That is just a sickening story! Makes you feel terrible, not right!

ok one other thing then i'll stop cos i dont want to frighten anyone.

my shirt i wear in work is not 100% cotton and i've found that it irratates (sp) the skin on top of my port.

i know again it sounds strange but it feels like there is just a very thin layer on top of my port. I wish you could all be beside me to feel my port.

yeah baby you wanna feel my port up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all you ladies laugh but i'll be waiting for you all to coem back to me and say .. AH YEAH DINI I GET THE WHOLE BOUNCE THING... dont worry i wont say i told you so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i'm not like that)

Jessica, Where did you live before? I'm sorry to disagree with you, maybe because I haven't been wherever you have been, lol, but I love VA!!!

Lynette, Enjoy every moment of this, the help won't last forever! At least, not at my house!

Dini, Sounds like Adam's not so good to you! You are too young to deal w/that kind of thing!

thanks babes! i totally agree but with having the baby things are not so easy. my daughter Annafrancesca is 15 months old, i honestly believe that Adam is only with me cos he thinks i'd take the baby from him. thats not true at all. i'm a firm believer in both parents. if thinks dont work out with us i want it to be 50/50 but he dosen't get that.. What a disaster !!!!

is there an age limit on calling people babes?

Dini, maybe some surgeons put the port in deeper than others, or you just have thin skin in that area. I believe you, I just can't feel mine. I still have medical tape over the incision and around that area. I don't even know how long the cut is. I'm scared to feel around it too much since the incision isn't healed yet. I don't want to move anything in there and screw it up.

:sickNah, Lynette, now why would you want to go and ruin a good thing? Nah, I think that port is going to hurt for at least a month!!!!!!!!:whoo:

Dini, I just looked it up and there is no age limit on calling women BABES!! We're all going to be babes very shortly, so we should at least get used to it right. Oh, and the men are going to be STUDS. Can't forget the men in the group.

Dini, No, I totally like "Babes", makes me feel YOUNG!

Ladies love you all but i'm going to leave you. its 3am i think i need some of that beauty sleep, people talk about!!!!!!!!! night night and sweet sweet dreams. x

ok let me re-write, night night BABES, sweet sweet dreams !!!!!!!!!

Dini, I was just going to get going myself. I have some things to do before I hit the bed tonight.

Have a good evening everyone!!!!

Night, night, to all you BABES!!!! I love that one! Nice touch, Dini! Sweet dreams all! I think I am going to scat too! I need to do something! Or maybe not, lol!
