Well, I'm not trying to brag, but......

Private TV's in the bedrooms in my lab, baybee!!

Patients never ever see each other, unless they come in as a duo (husband / wife, brother / sister, are some of the "duo's" that I've done).

Clearly that hospital you were in needs to hire me as a consultant (for a huge consulting fee, of course).

Meh lol I didn't want to watch tv anyway i was just bored and walking around trying to itch that crap off my face even though I wasn't supposed to. There were 2 others there for the sleep study and I saw them both for at least an hour and 30 minutes. They put all the private wires and stuff on in YOUR room that's like a hotel room then they take you to an open room for 3 or 4 people and put the ones on your head with the nasty glue. Then you can either goto your room or the lobby I went to my room for awhile and played my DS got bored and thirsty went out asked for some apple juice...watched a few minutes of TV...noticed him...kinda got freaked out...told a nurse...went back to my room...from my room I could see down the hallway and saw everything they did until they got him into a room etc etc. Plus I could hear them talking they were doing the loudspeaker thingy. I knew he wasn't acting the same cause I talked with him for about 30 minutes before I saw him pop the ambien.

Oh I dunno if I ever told you guys my results for it lol I had 7 episodes on my back that were 1 to 2 seconds long and 12 on my side that were 1 to 2 seconds long. He told me it was mild and that I didn't need a CPap and he believes it will fade away as I lose. :tt1:

LJM, as a pregger, you are kinda out of luck in the sleep department. You have a hormal flux working against you, as well as the physical restrictions that your lil' bun is providing. The tylenol and benadryl stuff works by exploiting the antihistimine effects.....but those kind of meds tend to stay in your system for a loooooooooong time.

thats what i was afraid of ... i guess he's just preparing me to get up every few hours...

I'm sorry I used the term "pregger". Apparently only pregnant women can refer to themselves that way. But it is acceptable for the rest of us to say "pregga".

LMAO

LJM- 2x unisom or 4x benadryl (but NOT benadryl d). They are the same thing. I was on rx sleeping meds till I found out, now I am tired a lot and rarely need the help, but on the nights I can't sleep I either take 1-2x unisom depending on how wound up I am or 2-4x benadryl. Both are safe, Unisom is even recommended for morning sickness :tt1:

ok ... i'll try the unisom / benadryl i guess ... i've just never taken them and who knows what the reaction is going to be....?

I have to say I honestly don't think I could live without ambien. I am so thankful I have no bad side effects from it.

Can't wait to see pictures of the puppies. My daughter's beagle had puppies and they were so adorable.

Thanks for your advice Plain. I'm heading to the Dr in a half hour because my throat is REALLY inflamed and sore, so I'll ask about the Ambien then.

Slim, that would totally freak me out!

It did freak me out. All I could think about was what if I had gotten in my car and tried to drive?

I have to say I honestly don't think I could live without ambien. I am so thankful I have no bad side effects from it.

I had taken it for quite some time before that happened. I really think my getting up in the middle of the night caused it. I can say that now, but then it just scared me spitless.

Plain, I like your new avatar!

Wednesday morning - raining again.

Ambien - don't do drugs (OTC or otherwise, caffeine excepted).

Puppies - love 'em; cats - love 'em; have had multiples of them all at different times. I want to see the pics, please.

Plain - nope, not how I had envisioned you. And before your ego swells, I wasn't dreaming about you; I always try to imagine the appearance of those I cannot see when in communication.

Carpal tunnel - DM is having hers released tomorrow; she went several years before she agreed to the procedure (and suffered unnecessarily in my opinion),

OK - have I covered all the topics?

Wow, tapshoes, I think you did! Good job.

Happy hump day everyone! Plain, I like the new picture as well.

Good grief, it took me way too long to type this with just one hand, ugh. How am I supposed to work when I am a database specialist?

She Smiles, I hope you get to feeling better.

Where are those puppy pictures? Can you include smellavision with them, I love puppy breath too!

Susan - are they booking you for surgery? or trying the relaxation, exercise and brace routine?

For those that are pregnant - do not watch the movie First Born. For those with any taste in movies (and of course the calculation of taste is based on the Tapshoes Rating Scale[TRS]) do not watch the movie First Born. DH is a movie fiend (walking talking encyclopaedia of all things movie related); I hate wasting my time watching them. Anyhoo, last night I agreed to watch a movie and that was the one he chose.

Maybe that's another thread topic - movies we have seen and loved or loathed.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
