how long did you have to fly to get to Mexico?? i was considering going there if i couldnt get treatment here. i live in Aust. What about your follow ups with fills etc?? do you have a clinic nearer you ?? or do you have to fly to mexico for your fills?? im really interested to know . Flying interstate is probably more expensive here than it is there.

Apart from doing exercises i dont know what you can do.. thats something that i dont want to happen either and im a lot older than you are.. lol. let us know if you find something else to do that will help you.

ii wonder if your sugar levels are just a little lower that time of day?? im no expert but i know what low sugar levels do to me. At least it goes when you eat breakfast. it does sound like you are low.

more on this.. sorry.. lol. i agree about the dr and staff making doubly sure before surgery. it is comforting to know that they are being entirely professional . thats for my benefit in the long run. im wondering what they can do to stop me vomiting in the early stages after surgery. thats been a biggie the last few surgeries ive had.

hi there didixo... what a wonderful effort, giving up the cigs like that. you will do it. ive been there many years ago, and havent looked back at all. i agree that exercise is great to help alleviate stress. its hard for me to do any extra walking at the moment. im waiting for healing post op so i can start swimming again. but, i can sit and have a quiet time every day. i do know how to still my thoughts and emotions by doing that. ive been so distracted lately that i havent been doing that. im so pleased to hear how well the yoga agrees with you. keep it up.

i guess the over riding issue is that the stomach heals enough... that would come first. i know my dr said that he wasnt overly concerned about how much i could drink, so long as i was hydrated. thats for the first few days.

so your oxygen sats are down?? can i ask?? how old are you?? it shoudnt be happening. Thats great you are doing well with the surgery ... way to go.

..Depends on your history... if you have been completely successful in keeping the weight off then you dont need the band. i guess it all depends on what sort of weight gain you have had inbetween. if you are still ahead with weight loss and dont have any other health issues that are affected by your weight then maybe you be quite good without the band. but, your dr wouldnt have agreed to the surgery if he didnt think that it would help you, would he?? Everyone of us here has had those nagging thoughts one way or another. i think its because we are walking through a door and shutting it behind us ?? anyway, you have done really well in losing so far. im sure you will do well with the surgery . im having doubts sometimes myself. i need to stop and be realistic though about my health needs right now... and not try and talk myself out of having it done. im being done in 9 days. No pre op diet.

so its over now... thats great news. keep us posted.

how long have you had your third fill?? is your appetite the same as it was before surgery?

i wish i could get away with it... perhaps i will wear a nightie and dressing gown coming home.

so you dont think you could have managed the two eggs at one time?? did you go back later and finish them? i know that 2 eggs can be rather filling at times for me.so you forgot to add milk?? lol. you did a good job to get them down then. lol. i must remember to get some powdered low fat milk so i can scramble some when the time comes. you didnt add anything else to them at all?/ i used to cook eggs scrambled in the microwave. i would just stir the raw egg in a pudding bowl, add some pepper and cook for a short period of time. they were more chewy that way than doing them in a pot. i think that doing them in the pot is easier on the stomach.powdered low fat milk is wonderful with scrambled eggs. the two go really well together.

best move you ever made..thats for sure. Thats the sort of dr we all need.

good on you !! thats wonderful. the sleeve is really drastic according to my dr. im so glad that you are going this way... im sure you will do exactly what you set out to do. now i need that determination.. that i will do it as well.
