I also am still fighting the carb weight gain but about a .5 a lb is lost every day from it so by next week i should be back lol.

Well Reggie if u check this more often then FB pls call me:D 530.263.8390

Have a good day girls!:wub: I think im gonna do eggs all day:)

Dr Fisher was the one who gave the orientation... skinny gray haired guy... I have an appointment with Dr. Park on the 17 of this month!! Should I call and ask for Baggs instead of Parks? I wish I would have gotten baggs... Darn it

Tani,

I have Dr. Parks and she's ok, Dr. Baggs is funny, she is more relaxed. I was only upset that she didn't give me a fill but to be perfectly honest I can wait a few more weeks for the fill, considering I already have 6cc in my band. Try her out and you can always change.

Nicole, at first I thought I wouldn't mind but then I remembered how frickin' hungry I am for that first 24 hours and I want to have the energy to boogie board and hike and play and I know I won't have it with no food in me.

We're still planning really healthy good meals with lots of physical activity so I think I'll be okay! I'm just putting a list together right now and am gonna pack up tomorrow so we can leave at 8am Friday morning.

Hello everyone! I'm new here. I will be banded on july 21st. One week to go! I'm so nervous and excited! Im such a wimp. How much pain is involved? I have had 3 children naturally, so i am familiar with pain. I just like to know what i am in for.

Juicysmom, I know the feeling, I am 7 weeks post op. I has the same anxiety, I even taught of death and the funniest is that I saw 2 Hearse on my way to Richmond to see the Anesthesiologist and PA. I totally freaked out and called my sister to tell her that in case I die during surgery she should care for my kids LOL:lol:. I dreamt about my funeral and all I think Nicole did too!. LMAO. So yes some anxiety are more extreme than others.

GIRL, you will be fine, you will be in the hands of some of the best experts in Bariatric Surgery. The nurses are super cool. Congratulations and may you be blessed during your process.

The pain....... :eek:If all your kids were natural then you will be fine. Don't get me wrong it hurts for a week and after that it gets better slowly. Follow Liz's directions, that Spirometer worked wonders for me.

Heather congrats on your inches lost.

Jes- you are working your menu girl, you go!

Chris why dont you just send me the menu! lol i am being so lazy! My goodness i haven't touched my menu:(

Yeah anxiety sucks, but i dont know how natural child birth is, but if you had a Csection its pretty much the same how you dont wanna move for a week but you have to..:wub:

OH duck update! the duck is at her new pond lovin it:( I miss my poor duck:(

We brought her to him yesterday and he was able to pet her and her LEG! omg.. she liked him! A match amde in heaven:D

Then on our way home lol........

We saw this GIANT bull frog ill attach a pic.. He was huge, we tried catching him to put him in our back yard for a new pet lol. But each of his hops was about 2 feet long so mike couldnt get him:D

Thanks ladies... Reggie where are you??LOL Reggie dear, How do you like Dr. Parks?? Lemme know.. Thank you girlie

Honestly, I like her alot, I love her calm approach and she is very smart, she knows her stuff. She also specialized in LB and RNY, I believe she has the same level of expertise as the other surgeons if not more. As I said before go meet with her and give it a try.

Yeah give her a try. She cant be bad:) She does got a good team standing behind her. The only thing you will have to deal with is you will have to drive the extra 30 to richmond instead of pinole for your fill.. She doesnt do the group fill like baggs does:D

That's a big ass frog!

LOL totally!

Aww audrey is staring out the slider saying Duckie Duckie:( How sad:(

YAY!! He said yes to my fill request!! But does this mean that I get to come on the 23rd?? That's what I asked for . . . I will have to keep checking the website! Horay, he is SO nice, here is his email:

I will send your note on to Kellie to book that appt.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Dr. Baggs

Riley im so glad it worked! Im also glad to know he works with us.:wub: I want to know what he considers a success... Cause i know most of us that are now banded have lost almost or more then 50% of our excess BF.. So is that when he considers us a success or when we are in the normal range.. Cause i remember him saying a long time ago he will be happy if i loose 50% of my excess bf. Who knows...

Went shopping for camping OK camping healthy wise is VERY EXSPENSIVE! We used to do like hot dogs and burgers. This time i got steak and stuff for the shish kabobs, so vegies and meat my bill in the end for 4 days is drum roll please...... 135!!!! holy moly! I hate when i dont know what i buy:( I was a bad naughty naughty girl and got a 6 pack, but i did because i know my family will be having margaritas and shots and all these more fattening beverages, and I used to partake, this time i can say nope i got my own... Watch none of them will be drank.. lol but how im tellin myself is if i dont drink them i cant drink anything. I just dont want to get into the shot rounds and margarita rounds with everyone, you know how easy it is to put away booze then..........
