hmm...looks like my ticker did change because it is changed in that reply...and I will have to try and make some other changes to it...NOW THAT I SEE IT! Why can't I see it when I'm trying to design one?

I hate the ads on this website! So many from foreign countries!...aren't there any affordable doctors in the US? Stop sending money to Mexico and other nations! There has to be a solution to the problems! Next, the webpage will not upload fast enough to make this site worth much for me. It takes anywhere from 2-5 minutes for each window change in this site to upload. It's very frustrating for me when I want to participate a lot more to have to sit here and look at the garbage ads...and not be able to utilize the site. Also my ticker is not what I want and it will not change.

LOL... Does anyone know if the ticker program thingy is broken?...It won't change mine, and on it's own, changed my butterfly...but won't let me adjust the colors. It's annoying...on top of that, because of all the ridiculous ads on here, it takes 2-3 minutes minimum, for every page to upload...any way to fix these things? Anyone know?

Yep, they are...and my case was one of the ones on which that decision hinged...so cool...but the wait was not cool at all...at least we can move forward.

I was told that the little bits do not matter, and not to worry about them at all. I think they want us to be used to having all liquid and no food after the procedures, but even then, they won't matter, as they are so teeny.

I have done a lot of research on the preop liver shrinking diet...and I believe based on what I've read that as long as the calories are kept very low, that having a few baked crackers or a little bit of something won't hurt you...just be sure to exercise it off, and don't do it a lot. I too am going a bit bonkers with this diet! I have had a couple bites of stuff not on the diet each of the last three days...and it really is helping me to do the rest of it well. Part of my problem is that money I was supposed to get 2 weeks ago, and use part of to go out to eat and enjoy a meal somewhere with my children, never came, and I feel so ripped off in so many ways....so I am struggling with those feelings...but working it out...coming on here often, now, is really helping. maybe that will help you too. I have also increased fluids, by making some honey peach Lipton tea, since I have no money to buy anything whatsoever...and Water gets old fast....and that's helping take the feeling of deprivation down quite a bit.

Chelle...that cough could be a side effect of the pain medicine...some people are sensitive to them. I am. If you call the doctor and report it, they might change it for you. I know coughing isn't fun, and then to have a cough and surgery is not at all fun to overcome.
