WOW MELISSA your days are numbered!!! You must be so excited! I'm so happy for you! You will love your band! I love mine and we are still getting to know each other! So far we are getting along GREAT! It hasn't had any temper tantrums! Just remember to walk!! I didn't walk tons just paced back in forth in the house but kept moving as often as I could. Pain is really nothing to worry about cause it's really not there!

Yeah he told me that they may make my next FU apt with Zweng, but it would be with him.

Best of luck to you Paula, God Bless. Hope to meet you sometime your visiting

Angie that is awesome! You must be so excited! I'm excited for you!

Hi, Starrs daughter called a few minutes ago. She is out of surgery and in la la land in her room. Everything went well. When I hear more I will let you know.

Hi, Tomorrow I go to Doc V and get my staples out and check out the scale! I am trying to tell my self to not expect the scale t be down up if anything, but we'll see! Angie AI hope your daughter had a fun birthday. Isn't it amazing how our kids get older and we stay the same age!

It will be here before you know it! Congrats!

Robyn, I just read your thread tonight. I to am proud of you. It will get hard. read paslm 91 and make it personal to you! This I promise will help you get through the tough times. Lean on the word and others and you will get through this. I'm here for you as I know all your fellow bandsters are. God Bless,

Great Idea! I get my weigh in on the 6th. I refuse to get on a scale kick like I have in the past, so I'm planning on just doing my weigh ins at the dr's office when I go.

Hi, I'm home yippie! My new life had really begun! Don't worry Loretta (Starr). and Melissa about my hospital stay. I was still high on morphine when he came and and said we'd talk about going home tomorrow. I asked the nurse and she said he likes to keep all his patients 2 days. It was fine with me. Last ight around 8 I wanted to escape, but then I woke up at 2 and took some pain medicine and this morning he was in the room before 10 and said everything is good, go home, take a shower and see you next week. LOL David the PA said please take a shower....LOL.. So I'm home I ate a TBLS of cottage cheese. Garry just mixed me a protien shake and I'm good as can be. A suggestion for you Melissa as far as your bed goes, for when you go home. If you can get the hospital bed and it isn't a big deal getting to you, I would go for it. If not, go buy one of those foam mattress toppers, (mine is king size and it's perfect) fold it in half and then roll it into a triangle, you'll be just fine. I am so excited about my band I ca't tell you! And I'm so excited to be home! My offer is still on for movies and jello! Thank you all so much for the prayers. I had complete peace on Monday morning. And now I'm just so excited I could scream. Off to the couch for a movie/nap. Thank you all for being here for me.

That would be wonderful!

How wonderful! Way to go!

I'm going CRAZY! What can I put on my incisions to help stop the itcthing?

Thank you I'll try..it comes and goes! I can't wait to get these staples out!!! Does everyone have a large incision for the port? I have 6 staples, plu 5 small wholes

I'm sorry your in such a funk! Your doing great with the wieght loss. I know anxiety sucks! Try to breath slower..Do start that journal that should help. And posting how you feel on here is a great way to let it out! And go ahead give your self permission to have a good cry.

How about a bad tooth ache! Good luck with that happypsychrn! I wish I had kept it quiet although I have not had any bad feedback. I Don't want my neighbors knowing, but most of my Sunday School class knows and a hand few of others. I'm telling people that I don't want to know that I've had girlie surgery, they never ask for details with that one!

How exciting and wonderful!!!

Best wishes to you!

Welcome home!

Hi, I spoke with her yesterday afternoon. She was frustrated they turned her morphine off in the middle of the night! Go figure! She wanted to leave but she had to wait to finish eating and then go to the BR. So I'm not sure if she's home yet or not. I'm hanging in there, but exhausted! Yesterday I really pushed myself and today I can't eep my eyes open. We have caompany that came in yesterday and they are great. I went to grocery store with my daughter and then we went to someones house for "dinner" last night. Now I'm home alone for a few hours and going back to bed. I really think I pushed it to much yesterday, although I thought I'd be up and running by now My only real complaint is the iching of the large insision. Should I put some ointment on it? I think I know why I stayed 2 nights. Most everyone I've heard has only had 5 insisions I have 6 there was alot of scar tissue from my gall blatter surgery mad it tougher on the doc and I guess tougher on me. night night...

She called me a few minutes ago. I had t laugh cause I guess I sounded the same way on Monday! She wanted me to tell you all that everything went well. She's a little nervous about the night staff at CMC, they haven't been as attentive as the day shift. I told her to call her daughter, who had just left, and get her to get on there backs. So hopefully she will. So thats it for now. Have a good night. di

Enjoy that pizza! I wish I had had tthat fr my last supper!

Erin That was an awesome post thanks so much! I copied it to save if for someday.....

One of my many weight losses, I lost 70 pounds and I felt still VERY HUGE, When I look at the picture from then I cna't believe how great I looked! I can't wait to get there. This time I know I will and it will last. I took pictures Sunday night before the surgery on Monday. I want to also take pictures every month to SEE the change.

Congratulations! And welcome to bandland.
