LOL OMG I LAUGHED SO LOUD WHEN I READ THE TITLE I guess for scuba diving you have a point. I love floating on my back with ease and the fact i can tread Water with either my arms or legs for hours.

How long it took to get to onederland?
Goofyspice replied to trinhle905's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had surgery on april 11, 2011 Shout out to my surgery sister, katmagmom!!! 4 month is today I am currently hovering at 216 and my surgery weight was 265. So you are doing better than me Since surgery I have lost 49 lbs. My total loss for the year is over 72 lbs...I was in denial and didn't really acknowledge my weight. I use the start weight of 288. Maybe if I hypnotize myself I would be able to recall that horrific number that I seem to have blocked from my memory -
I am not going to debate if Weight Loss Surgery is the easy way out or not. In the end who cares if it "might" be the easy way out or the hardest way out... as long as it WORKS!!! Only you can decide for yourself what is best for you. Find and Go to as many seminars as you can. Better chance of getting all the info you need for your decision. Also its never too early... here we are 24/7 baby.

Goofyspice replied to Gayle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Goofyspice needs your prayers and well wishes

I just want to thank you ALL for all the kind words. I re-read this thread several times getting re-encouraged. The culture didn't grow anything over the weekend and I guess my "output" was minimal since I got the drain removed yesterday. Hope no one was in the neighboring room cuz I wasn't quiet. Getting a drain removed is a different experience. Anyhow I still have to take 6 horsepill antibiotics a day- what a chore that is... but I seem to have the trick down and the sooner I can get that done I can actually concentrate on the normal healing process. Normal being water and protein and getting into mushies. This whole thing has set me back by at least a week. Ah but I have lost 20lbs --- so there is a silver lining in my set back -

I will try to keep this short but I need your well wishes and prayers. I went to my follow up appointment and complained of pain and not being able to breathe. Surgeon wanted me to come back next day for ct scan but i asked to be able to go to the hospital down the street for that (versus another 2.5 hr drive). So I go in first thing Friday and... well here I was afraid of having Pneumonia when I actually had a pocket of "something" above my liver among other little things. They spoke w/ my Surgeon and then put in a drain. They took out 100 cc's then and since then its been a total of 205cc's and counting... I feel like iron man with a huge piece of equipment in my upper torso. They were going to grow a culture over the weekend to see whats going on. I had white blood cells but no "bacteria". So my body was/ is working hard to kick something's ass. Pray this is a speed bump only and that I will be back on regular healing course soon!!! Thanks Everyone. -
