Oh Kim, I hope you feel better soon, I think it's just the stomach flu. Oh and I am so jealous...I love Def Leppard!!!

I am so sorry you had to ensure such pain just trying to get a fill. Unfortunately, if you don't have your surgeon do the fills, you run the risk of them having difficulty locating it. I hope next time is better!

Hi Tee, it could be gas trapped under your ribs on the right side, I used to get that quite often. Feel better.

Yeh for the big girls!!! She is fantastic!!!

Oh Vix, I am so happy it worked out for you..see he's not such a bad guy...he just loves and worries about you. I am so glad that he is being supportive and is going to be there for you at the OCC for surgery. Two weeks is not that long from your original date, it will fly by in no time. I cannot tell you how relieved I am that it's all working out for you...it's happening!!! =D> =D> All the best and let us know how everything goes! Again, if you need anything, we're here! (((HUGS)))

The finale is on tonight and they just crowned the winner...I won't spoil it for those who are in a different time zone. I just want to say, it's a victory!!!

I am not a veteran, just two months banded, but I can relate to how difficult this period of post-op is, having been through not too long ago. Are you allowed to have creamy soups yet? If so, try cream of potato mixed with 1/2 can of cream of cheddar. Eat as much as you want. It's very filling. I know that the OCC has a "straw" rule, where you can anything that can go through a straw. To be honest my creamy soups probably would not have gone through a straw, a little thick for that, I think, but I did just fine and it kept me full for quite a while. Pudding is good too, a thicker choice of food will stick longer. Good luck! You can do this, it's not forever!!

Congratulations and welcome to bandland!!! Glad all went well. The journey will be full of ups and downs, but it's so worth it!!! Best of Luck!!

Call the doctor sweetie, don't take any chances. You port is sewn to the muscle underneath the port scar. The scar itself has probably come open a little. Keep an eye it for redness and hotness...and if you develop a fever. Feel better.

I got mine, thank you!!! I love ciber-chocolate!!!LOL!!

Same goes for me.. only a chosen few know about my surgery...much appreciated!!

Good for you!!

That's a good question...my surgeon referred to the size of my band in cc's...I have a 9cc band, which holds 9cc of fluid. It's the smallest band he works with. The other is a 12cc. I was banded in Canada.

Julie, take it where it's coming from. Obviously, if he is so thoughtless as to leave his dog in the car in the heat, he's a selfish jerk. People like that go no where in life, they are self absorbed and have no compassion whatsoever. If that's all he could come up with after you confronted him, he's truly an ass!!! I know it hurts, but try not to dwell on it. You are a beautiful person inside and out and he didn't know how to respond to what you had accused him of and made a knee-jerk reaction. You did the right thing and if you still remember his plate #, you may want to report him to the animal control centre in your area, because if he's done it once, he'll proably do it again..and you don't want to be seeing that story on the evening news. Chin up sweetie...you deserve better!!

Hi Alana, I sent you a friend request...ttys

Hi Carrie, having difficulty finding you on Facebook, can you search for me?

It worked friend!!!

Hi there, my surgeon advised me that a snack inbetween meal is okay. Like MamaMichelle suggested, get some 100 calories snacks. I find that I am hungry every 2.5 hrs..and do snack if I need to. Plan your meals to include them and stay under 1200 calories and you will do great!

It's a forum that you send messages to friends, post pics etc, similar to this one, but with more options. Cathy

I am on Facebook, anyone else?
