:mad::thumbup::thumbup:Awww!! Thanks y'all for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I am doing much better today. I just had the best shower of my life and I took off the bandages. From what I can tell, my incisions look pretty good. As far as a discount, nope, 'fraid not but she was more in tune to kissing my butt....LOL I have a question for all those who have been recently banded...I dont' know about y'all but I am freaking STARVIN!!!!!!!!! Liquids just aren't doing it for me, how are y'all copin?????:confused2::confused2:

Hey everyone! Thanks for keeping up with me. So, I ended up having the surgery by the same surgeon this past Tuesday. Everything went completely smooth. I decided to keep with her b/c I knew that she would not be making any more mistakes in fear of getting a law suit. We discussed everything before the surgery and I felt pretty confident in her ability to continue. As of right now, I'm hurting like hell from the surgery but as far as my diaphragm, it is doing A-OKAY. Thanks for all your concerns and for keeping me in your thoughts and Prayers.

Okay, so here is what's going on....I was suppose to have surgery on Tues. Well...I got into the operating room and was "put under" only to be in there for a total of 15-20 min. :crying:The surgeon I had basically under estimated my torso and ended up cutting into my diaphragm and saw my lungs.:regular_smile: She pulled out ASAP and sloppily stapled me up to get me out of there to get a chest X-Ray done to see what kind of damage she had done. I ended up going to ICU to be monitored. Well about 3:30 that afternoon, her office called to inform me that my surgery had been moved to next Tues. and they wanted me to call them back to confirm the time. Please keep in mind that she has yet to come in herself and check on me. She just automatically assumed that I would continue with the surgery next week and be okay with what happened. I'm so confused...I don't know what to do. I understand that surgeons are human and I took that risk going into this whole thing. In a way I don't blame her or have any hard feelings but I am really really really skeptical about having this surgery now. Do I go ahead with it and take another risk, or do I back out now and be fat the rest of my life?????:tt1::blushing::crying::biggrin: I need some help y'all....what would you do?????

Thanks y'all for your responses. I honestly don't have any hard feelings toward her but I am a little apprehensive about her doing the surgery again. I called this morning and I have a meeting with her this afternoon to discuss everything and get it on the table.

No, you are putting it in the right spot, just try to delete some of the spacing in between your items. What I mean is delete the space between your counter and your next line of things. Does that make sense? I'm sorry, I can be kinda confusing....:smile:

:blush:Aww Thank You TaisMommy! That is very sweet of you to say!!:frown:

I hope I did this right....:rolleyes2: Not really sure how to shrink it down...Sorry

My surgery date is Feb. 5th. I am currently sitting at 260-264ish. My ultimate goal is to be about 135ish but I have a feeling that I'll stop about the 150's. I haven't seen the 150's since I was a YOUNG teenager!!! I'm just ready to get the party started!!!

Wow!!! Just look at all of us!! Look at how many are taking that first step to changing their lives!!! I'm so proud of us!! GO TEAM DOUBLE V!!!!!!!:rolleyes2:

I'm from Greensboro and Dr. Earle from Central Carolina Surgery is the one putting my band in. I see you had yours done in Mexico, I thought about going that route b/c it would have been cheaper but my husband down right refused to let me go there. How was it?

WHOOHOO!! A fellow north cackalackian!!! I was wondering if I was the only one from here after reading where alot of people are from.

I'm so sorry but I just had the funniest mental picture of someone doing that....LOL No offense but it reminds me of those crazy animals you see on America's Funniest Home videos....LOL:rofl: Didn't it make you all :rolleyes2:???? I'm sorry I don't mean any dis-respect!! It was just cute.

Girl, I am exactly the same way...as you can tell by my name. I hate HATE hate socks and shoes!! I have like 4-5 different pairs of flip-flops though...lol:rolleyes:

Congrats!!! I know EXACTLY how you feel!!:tongue:
