    Pneumonia

    I was banded June 9. I was having a lot of pain.I was sent to the hospital for tests and it has been discovered that I have pneumonia. I am on leviquin and was told to walk and try to cough. This is so disheartening.

    THANKSSSSSS!! I appreciate the offer..Im sure i will be asking you a lot..I am trying to remember how excited I was when i made this decision..and how it will feel to be smaller..the fear has a way of clouding that..ya know??
  9. HI As the date gets closer..I find myself getting more and more scared. I read posts..where people are telling horror stories..I am a self payer..and I keep wondering...is this the right thing? I have had trouble with scheduling.I have had the date of June 9 for a while now..and they have called and are wanting to push it back another week. I had the date of june 9 in my mind and had made so many arrangements..this has added to my stress. I hear of over fills..under fills..and i am two and a half hours from my doc. What will i do? I know..I am sounding like a whiner..but I am scared.

    Hey! Laurel is 70 miles from the coast..I lived in Jackson for 16 years..and we went to Memphis a fairly often. It is so great to know Im not alone here. The place where im having my surgery is two and a half hours from my home,,so I wont be attending the after care. It will be important for me to communicate with others..This board will help!! THanks for the good wishes and advice~ Terri
