Kaiser Richmond Pre-op

Do any of you remember my friend Bonnie? She'll be at the meeting tomorrow night and can give you an update. She'll be stopping by my room on the way to the meeting. I hope I'll be up walking so I can give John a hard time! :biggrin:

My surgery fee is $100, but it's $500 because I'm being admitted. That's a lot of boots! But then again, without the surgery I'd be spending it on doctor bills. Well worth every penny!

Hello hello!

I feel like all sorts of terribleness today. I've been sore for the last five days (which is great, actually) but this cold is threatening. My asthma only bothers me when I'm sick, and it sucks!

I got to go visit Coco today! I hope you liked your Soup, lady!

I'm planning on going to bed early tonight. (For me that's any time in the 10:00 hour) We'll see how that goes. Luckily today is my rest day so no gym for me.

Good luck the the new people up tomorrow. I will be waiting to see how the sleeve works out. I am still interested although I would have to convince my doctor which is NOT an option right now.

Pam:

I don't think I am gonna get a fill with them. I am gonna wait it out for now with Kaiser. But you are so right I do need to know about unfills. Great Point!! I don't want to be higher than 5cc's. Once I get there I only want to get a fill if I lose. I just want enough to have some restriction 5cc's has been a good number. 5.5 and 6 is where I had problems.

Ok who gave me the cold. I have had a Migraine for days and sinus pressure. I know I am getting an sinus infection and trying to think how to stop it. I slept with an ice pack last night!!! LOL. didn't work that well so maybe heat tonight..........I don't want to be sick.

I am wondering about the Netti Pot anyone try that....I am sorta curious cause I get sinus infections alot and the headaches are killer with them.....

Well I gotta get some sleep early day tomorrow.......we are busy this month and I hope that means job security!! LOL!! That is what I am telling myself!! I hope everyone is doing well!!

Oh I won't be at the the meeting this month. I have to be a stewarts training for work that day from 8-2:30pm. We need a another support group cause this once a month makes it hard. I always miss all the good stuff!!

This is for some leadership committee that I am on.

I sorta met someone or re met someone from my past and that has me distracted right now...........a best friend from a few years ago. He knows all about the band and the whole thing so it has been good. I don't know why I told him cause I don't tell people but we have always been good friends and I usually tell him everything anyway.

So between him and my daughter.........;-)

Not sure if this is a long term thing cause I don't like long term to much!! :-) I am flighty.............but nice to have someone who knows what is going on and thinks it is not a huge big deal!!

So anyway I am distracted with work and social life right now.

Think of me on the 23 of this month cause that is D day. If I make it past that........than I am good until July and that means a few more months of Kaiser and fills.

Navato is my back up plan but not my plan A. I want something in SAcramento or my uncle to get lap band certified!! Other than that I am gonna have to chill with no restriction.

JES

Good grief that is my nightmare!!! How did you dream that. LOL. That i

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
