Hey, that’s awesome. It’s good to be busy busy... like you said; doesn’t leave room for one to mind frick themselves )

And yesterday I had my pre-op class. I dragged my husband there because supportive as he is his lack of interest in the details was disconcerting. He was a good sport and sat through it all We went through all the good stuff; you know... prep stuff (what to take, what not to take)... meds, pre-op diet details, pages and pages of explanation for the post-op diet, I got samples.... his NP went through it all with us. Then my surgeon came in and answered any remaining questions. And finally the insurance coordinator came and went over a few things. Overall very informative and reassuring really. All set for tuesday!

I’d be interested?

Yay!! Congratulations )

Yiiiissss.... such motivation, congrats y’all!!

I mean I’m pretty well prepped but the one thing I want to ask him is “can I trust you?” while arresting his eyes with a direct stare, you know

Hahahaha mine is tonight so bump!

I’m a little confused about the ice water part; I’ve always been told to drink room temp or warm water because of its effects on the stomach.

I don’t have an answer but I’ll bump it up because I’m worried about it too:)

You tell ‘em girl!! It’ll feel so good to tell them to shove their practice up their ***. Just a little longer, you can do it!!

Whoohoo! All the best!

And yet somehow you will... if you work dive in, organize, go crazy... if at home bindge watch something or start knitting... either way time will pass quickly, you’ll see. Good luck!

Every time I open a thread on the app I get error messages. One example is this. Is there an ongoing problem or is this an issue related to my phone? It started yesterday evening. Thanks!

Thanks Ken! The debug feature waa turned off but I deleted the app, restarted my phone and reloaded the app and now it seems to work fine. Cheers!

My pcp’s first reaction was to tell me about a patient of hers who had died from having bariatric surgery... only upon further inquiry did she mention that this patient had a host of other problems and should not have been cleared for this surgery to begin with. As for me; she said she wasn’t 100% for it but if I asked her to she would write the recommendation letter so I did. Anyway, during my clearance practice I found out that if your pcp doesn’t play ball some insurances will also accept a letter from your ob/gyn so ladies, keep that in mind as an alternative.

Good luck!!

I would also suggest witch hazel pads for the sensitive bum

Whoohoo! You made it... you're the line leader then, eh? )

oh you're in Paramus then? I'm with Dr Nicholas Bertha of NJ Bariatric Institute in Morristown but I live in Nutley. Good luck!

You'll be fine [emoji4]

You're welcome I'm sure but there's a whole September thread going on too if you like Glad you're doing OK

Excellent birthday gift. Mine is my gift to myself for my 40th as well

Good luck to all who are due this week!

Thank you so much! Glad everybody survived, lol!!

Sooo... since we obviously can't drown our sorrows and hormonal crazies in a tub of ice cream anymore once post op... please share your secrets for keeping it together?
