yup, i am about 70-80 pounds from my first huge goal (180/190 lbs) and i have a PS consult tomorrow. i actually completely forgot about it with everything going on until they called to confirm.

i have the appointment for arms and LBL. hopefully he will say "i can do the arms now" and give me a goal to hit for a LBL. dont think i will go with this guy though - no insurance whatsoever... how discouraging... i dont even know if my insurance will help me out, but it would be nice to be able to go to someone who accepts insurance.

here we go ..

LJM...I love the fact that you are going to do the "pampering day" b/4 your surgery. Good for you!!!!!!!!! Just want to wish you good luck with your surgery. We all deserve to wake up in the body we thought we would have when we started this process. I, too, will some day need TT and who knows what else. I am yet to be banded, have lost 40lbs pre-op and can already see the hanging apron.

Happy Anniversary and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers on surgery date. You will do just fine

LJM, All the best for an "uneventful" surgery. Take good care of yourself & report back once your feeling up to it...Look forward in hearing about your results....Lu~

Just wanted to wish you "Good Luck" on your upcoming surgery! It's all good! Congrats on the 10 year & 3 year anniversaries this week too! Just think, in a year, this week it will all be 11 + 4 + 1 year anniveraries, respectively. You're just adding another super momentus event to Celebrate in your life! You'll look back and laugh at how worried you were!

Keep us updated!

Good luck, Christine!

thanks so much gals... i cant believe its almost here!

DD is sick with a nasty ear infection and DH now has sore throat, hopefully nothing serious... im loading up on the vit C... if DHs is bad will get antibiotic just in case..

OMG. I just got over a week an a half's worth of nasty flu bug. Get yourself a surgical mask!!!!! You don't want this crap at all, much less days before PS.

Keep loading up on the Vitamin C!!

im gunna strangle my DH (d does NOT mean dear right here...)

strep throat... freaking strep throat!! the man i kissed has strep throat. at least my PCP gave me an Rx for a Z pack. i called my surgeon's office and they said to stay away from him... well, duh!!!

Oh, for the love of Pete! That's all you need.

~~Healthy thoughts for you~~

Get on the Z pack A.S.A.P., get your fluids, get some extra rest, don't kill the Damned Husband, and calm down. A couple of days can mean a lot of healing.

grrr... just found out, my MD gave me a 6 day 250 mg instead of a 3 day 500 mg... why??????? last time i got the Rx it was the 500. why did she do that? grrrrrrrr...

im sooo close to just double dosing it... guess i should call my PCP first, but dammit, why didnt she just give me the quick fix?

will up my fluids and all ... but grrrrrrrr

Sending good thoughts your way :biggrin: I saw on the other thread that you woke up early and couldn't sleep. I know the nerves are kicking in at this point. You talked about freaking out your in laws. Thats great. I hope you get the same look on your face that my wife says I did when I first looked down and saw my results. She said it was priceless. Wishing you a quick and illness free week :biggrin:

LJM: Bother, bother and more bother! Sorry about your DH. Funny thing is, I am also on a Z Pack. Have a head cold and sore throat and my doc said to take it just to be safe. I'm praying it kicks in! Earth life can be such a trial! Remember: Breathe, Believe and Be Happy! I keeping telling myself this. Good luck!

breathe (thats a toughie), believe (yikes), be happy ... that i can do... later. :biggrin:

im really quite bitchy today...

the good news is, i called my PCP and she said i can double up on the Z pack, so that's a good thing...

bad news, im completely unfilled and have gained a couple of pounds. im making poor choices and it needs to stop.

hope you are feeling better soon, karey.

LJM: It's nerves you'll do better soon!

LJM (and karey) Best wishes and best of luck!!!!

Christine, I'll be thinking of you every day until we hear how well it all went!

Lots of love to you!
