Phyl, hang in there, I hope mom is okay.

Food and water still not good. I'm trying to get the guts up to call the local lapband doc. He usually won't see patients from Mexico so I won't be any different. But I am worried. Still vomiting. Crap!!

Janet, Omlet sounds good, but at this point everything sounds good, even a big glass of water.

I'm tired today. I almost started crying at work today. Pretty lame. I know, no ones fault but my own. I'm just feeling sorry for myself, sorry.

Hope you had a good day. Phyl keep us updated.

Go to the freaking er they have to see you... get your butt there Karla - you need to find out whats going on ... NOW

Do you hear me.... Go - tonite or 1st thing in the morning - They can not turn you away...

Janet, I know. I have the phone number and will call today. I'm in trouble and I know it. I just don't want to be treated like a leper because I went to Mexico. They are all very good and either outright denying to see you or making you feel like a loser. Either of which is hard to deal with.

Sweetie I understand you are afraid - but they have to treat you if you are in trouble... Please Please Please call them or go to the ER they have to treat you..... Come on this is your life just not about your band - you need to see whats going on

Phyl - What the update on your Mom - I saw all your 4square tweets ;0)...

Well another day... Went to bed around 9:30 but didn't get to sleep till after 10 ...

Called the people in Missoula, they listened, then transfered, I left a message, and have not heard anything...naturally. Oh, I'm not going to die, just wish I could. I did email, my fill doc to see if he could set up some testing. There is no way I can drive to Kalispell for an unfill. I am not even sure I CAN drive to Kalispell.

Okay, topic change.

I did go to bed early last night at about 8:30, tossed & turned until 1:00. Finally got to sleep.

Phyl, so how is the family doing? Mom?

Janet, your work out?

Sitting here, watching NCIS on DVD, sipping tea. So far so good. No Criminal Minds tonight. Man I hate post-holiday TV.

Guess I am going to have to come and kiss your ass - call your daughters to come and take you... Just go show up to the office - you need to get unfilled......

Workout was very good - he kicked our butt..

Not much else - talked to my sis tonite - she called - she sounds really good...

Nothing much else..

Karla you better have some kind of appointment by tomorrow....

Janet, the problem is that even if I go to the ER there are only 2 docs in Missoula that can do anything with bands and they are the two that are refusing to see me. The hospital doesn't have anyone who can do an unfill. Besides right now my kids are in the 'I told you so mode." If you hadn't gone to Mexico, then you wouldn't be having this problem. There is a possibility that I might be able to get to Kalispell this Saturday. The problem is that Saturday they are forcasting freezing rain and are recommending that people stay off the roads. So who knows what I can figure out. This pretty much sucks.

Glad you had a good work out. So whats for dinner? Let me live vicariously through you. Well, going to head to bed.

Morning, hope you slept well. It took me awhile to get to sleep, but slept well when I FINALLY did get to sleep. At least it is Thursday, so I have only 2 more days to go before the weekend. Whohooo, sleeping in!! But pretty soon my master's classes will start again and I can kiss that goodbye as well. Ah, I'm just whining, everything will be fine...one way or the other.

Janet, hopefully work will slow down a bit since we are getting past the new year. Is the rain slowing down? Your house hasn't been covered with mud yet .

Janet, I'll make some decisions today...basically I just don't know what to do. I know what I should do, but I don't know how to go about it. It will work out.

Good Morning

Karla - they can not refuse you at the er - period end of story - They must treat you it's the law... It has nothing to do w/mexico - that's just stupid - there are plenty of pple who have had surgery in the STates who need unfills -

You have been sick for a couple of weeks now and that has to be wearing on you big t ime.... PLEASE PLEASE take care of yourself...

Slept ok last night - but as usual 5 comes to fast...

Last night Phyl went to dinner w/family - can't remember where - but remember thinking oh no healthy choices there LOL

Why do you have to kiss your master classes away???

Hope you can eat something today....

Hugs & Love Janet

Karla - PLEASE CALL ME WHAT EVER TIME YOU GET HOME FROM THE ER - PLEASE I DON'T CARE IF IT'S LATE - I LEFT MESSAGE ON YOUR PHONE - PLEASE PLEASE CALL REALLY TRULY NO MATTER HOW LATE... PRAYERS ARE BEING SAID - XOXOX JANET

Yea Karla called her band is fine - just an ulcer - thank God !!!!! I am so happy for you - !!!!!!

Glad to hear ulcer and not band problem!!

Got home a little before 3pm... 8 hrs drive with just two short stops. I'm very tired! Need to go to bed.

Mom is better.... x-ray was okay. Was vrey talkative when I talked to her, so must be feeling better!

Good Morning Gang...

Phyl - So glad your Mom is doing better.... That's a tough drive - I know that's how long it takes me to get home from Joseph - well a little shorter but I drive faster than Earl - well you already know that LOL...

Karla - Sleeping in this morning - I hope you were able to get some nourishment in last night and got a good night sleep

TGIF

47 degrees - but 68 for the day ;0) perfect weather -

I made that Italian cabbage thingie last night - it was so so -I don't think I like cabbage & spagh sauce - it was ok - I saved 2 servings and threw the rest away - mine didn't look like the picture (lasagna) mine was more like a one pot wonder (too watery)

Food Yesterday BF -greek yogurt - Lunch fish veggie - dinner Italian cabbage - sf ice cream and took my vitamins :0)

1. Hi ladies; WOW, Karla, I just went back and reread the posts... you poor dear.... I am glad Janet called you and MADE you go to ER....

• Phyl, Nice to hear that your Mom is doing better. Peter went and visited my Mom yest. and she is doing better too.Not out of the hospital yet, but getting stronger.

Hello ladies. Long time no visit. Just though I would stop in for a minute and say hi. I have tried to go back and read, but there are about 50 pages and I really don't have the patience to sit and read it all. It seems like you all are doing very well. Karla, hugs on all the tummy issues. They don't sound like fun at all! But very happy you were able to have your surgery.

I am still struggling with restriction even though completely unfilled. Anything more solid than mush plugs me up. Jeff and I are both trying to get a little more healthy though so we are doing 4 days of liquids and then the 5 day pouch test. I'm hoping that 4 days of liquids will allow a little reprieve from the pb'ing and I'll be able to progress. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to have to have my band removed, but I am so stressed about that. Crazy how I would rather be pb'ing every day than lose it all together. Stupid. However, I don't know what else to do. My stress level has decreased in the last month and it still isn't any better. So, fingers crossed that getting back to basics will help me out. No matter what, I will have some sort of relief this year. I can't go on like I am. It is just too frustrating and not healthy at all.

Happy January to everyone.
