congrats hilary, to me the hardest part is over. now we are on our way to being skiny

yes definately tell them about your concern for nausia. i believe they put something in my iv every 6 hours. i had to spend the night. dr rules. and the pepsid i have here now seem to be doing ok. i have lots of gurgling noise but i guess the gas has to come out somewhere.

i was more excited than nervious. i like my doctor and she was very nice. but every thing went good and all the hospital staff were great. i had to spend the night there. it was a requirement of the doctor.if yu want to add the new year's knockouts to your signature just right click on it and go to edit signature. and paste. good luck with your surgery.but it will be fine

welcome, i know how you feel. i was just banded on friday.as you can see i am up at 4:30am.

hello,

well i did it. had my surgery friday.it wasn't too bad at all. here's how it went.

got to he hospital at 9:30 surgery was at 11:30. when i saw the doctor i voiced my concern for the nausia. she said not to worry. i do not remember any thing until i woke up. thruout the whole hospital stay i did receive anti nausia meds. and they wrote a script for pepsid. i thought i would be in more pain but it judt feels like i did 100 stomach crunches. just sore. well i am going to get some sleep, i can't sleep in hospitals so i am tired. thanks for all the support and good luck to all

thanks and good luck to all the friday people

All the copying and pasting is getting kinda confusing. Here is what I think is a complete list with whoever posted a surgery date.

If you do want to add your name, make sure to copy and paste the MOST RECENT post so everyone can be on the list!

hello all,

i have finished my appointments with the nutritionist today and also was cleared by the cardiologist. 1 more appointment with my pcp on tues . it has been a long 6 months of all these doctors appointments. but it will be worth it when i get that phone call from the insurance co that i am approved. keeping my fingers crossed. i joined a gym today with my husband. i figured i would get started with that too. how is everyone else doing??

i thought i might do that still checking on it

hello,

i have been married for 29 years to a very supportive and loving husband. i have 2 children 28 and 26 no grand kids yet. i live in pennsylvania. my last pcp appointment is dec 4th then all paper work goes to the insurance co. if approved the dr's office will call with a date. keeping my fingers crossed. and i am done with my christmas shopping..yippee

let's tell each other a little about ourselves. since we are going on this journey together i think it would be nice. what do you think?? you stuff like married? kids? occupation ect
