Wow! Isn't that fabulous, we're a day apart from moving to the 'losers bench'! Prayers to you as well :-)

Wow! Are you on Dallas? I'm havin my surgery this Thursday with Dr Jayaseelan at Forest Park Medical Center :-) Congrats on getting to that losers bench! :-)

I sleep with a CPAP as well, but don't have a problem with my mouth opening while sleeping with it. I've heard that they have apparatuses made specifically for those CPAP patients that need help keeping the mouth closed during sleep & while using the machine. Good luck to you on that, I can imagine how that feels, when I put my machine in for the night, that first rush of forced air is enough for me to keep my mouth closed during the night

CONGRATS!!! My surgery is on 4 days, July 12th, see us on the losers bench! :-)

Thank you soooo much! I'm ready to do this! Congrats to you all as well!

Health scare group: last Sunday, July 1st, I became severely dehydrated w/ severe tummy cramps, & excruciating diarrhea. I ended up passing out completely on my bathroom floor 3 times, & once in the emergency room where I was until 4am Monday morning. My electrolytes & sodium were very low, & the ER / dr pumped fluids in me, all tests (including CAT scan of my tummy), & vitals came back normal thank goodness. But I was diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis (stomach flu), along with severe dehydration. I was put on a strong antibiotic for a week & my band to sleeve surgery date was postponed (it was originally scheduled for yesterday, July 5th). I've been convalescing all week at home, and making sure to drink plenty of fluids including Gatorade Having my surgery postponed due to getting sick was no problem at all, what was scary was passing out CONTINUALLY from the dehydration caused by the severe diarrhea, brought on by the culprit that I caught, the stomach flu (yuck). I'm feeling about 95% and will be having my surgery this coming Thursday, July 12 :-) I'm stoked! ....vhoke1 (Vikki). *My updated band to sleeve surgery date: July 12, 2012*

Thanks do much! I'm feeling quite better, my dr out me back on a regular low fat solid food diet so it was wonderful to have scrambled eggs n' oats today;) my surgery will be rescheduled, which is fine with me. I'm home recooperating, and will work from home the remainder of the week as I'm still contagious from the stomach virus I caught will keep everyone posted.

Thanks Kat, I'm resting now, drinking plenty of Gatorade & waiting for my de to call me back...

Health scare group:, the full liquid diet I've been on to prepare for surgery July 5th caused me to become dehydrated yesterday w/ severe tummy cramps, & excruciating diarrhea. I ended up passing out completely on my bathroom floor 3 times, & once in the emergency room where I was until 4am this morning. The ER / dr pumped fluids in me, all tests & vitals came normal & diagnosis was dehydration. I feel a ton better. This Texas heat n' humidity ain't no joke...I thought I was hydrating myself adequately, but was not :-( At home drinking Gatorade per the ER dr's orders, also have a small urinary tract infection with prescribed meds. Waiting for my surgeon to call back now, most likely my surgery will be delayed & that's fine with me, dehydration is nothing to play with o_O will keep you all posted....vhoke1 (Vikki).

Good luck on the 'losers bench!'
