I asked this in another area but did not get the answer I am looking for. I am married and we have a very healthy sex life:wink_smile: I am worried about once the port is placed is there anything that I may need to do to make sure that I do not threaten the placement of the port? No one can seem to answer this for me so far. And I have not been able to ask my doc's office about it...:cool2::blushing:

For me, it has been putting the weight on yet again after so many times of trying to keep it off. It has been getting to the point where my underwear and bra are tight, not being able to bend over to tie my shoes, etc.:cursing: But the worse has been my little one telling me " Mommy, you are fat!":frown::mad: I know he is only 5 but man that did sting:frown:. So I want to be here for him and my other kids. I want the outside to match the inside. So what's your story?

Has anyone gone through the true results in Houston? I just would like to know what the experience was like. Thanks:smile2:

Hello. Just wanted to say hello! I am new here. I will be having my second evaluation on 7/3. I did one back in November and I was afraid to move forward at the time. I wish i had just sucked it up and gone ahead. I am a little nervous and hope things move pretty quick. Can anyone give a timeline? My insurance has already been pre-certified. Thanks!

Hi Guys. I am here at work for the first time this week. I have had no power since last friday and I am worn out. My house and my kids and husband survivedthe storm with no damage. It is crazy here. We are under a curfew for the remainder of the month and I am praying that we get power soon. I did not lose water or gas service but there is a lot of damage to lots of homes here. I am hoping to be in the a/c somewhere tonight. My surgery may have to be moved again depending on the status of power restoral. I thank you all for thinking of me. The prayers were much needed because Ike was mother!!

Yea!!! Congrats to you April. I am glad to hear that you ae doing well. My surgery was on Monday but has been cancelled due to Hurricane Ike!:wink2: Continue to take good care of yourself.

My doc said the same thing. No asprin at all at least two weeks before surgery. The only safe thing she said was Tylenol.

I was just sitting here watching music videos with my girls and man, Lloyd ( he sings that song Get it Shawty and has a new one called Girls Around the World) that young boy could probably be snatched up.:cool2::w00t: LMAO!!! I think it is the hair, it is so beautiful. My youngest asked me if I knew he was too young for me? LMAO!!!

I have settled into knowing that my date will be here soon and I find myself getting nervous thinking about all the bad things that could happen to me. I know I am making the right choice but I am trying to figure out how to shake off this case of nerves. Any ideas?

It is sooo crazy because I know that I am doing the right thing for me and my health. Just got to shake those nerves off and think about how fine I am going to be this time next summer...:smile::wink2::tt1:

Be safe girlie!!! I am praying for you guys. I just saw that they are evacuating now.

That is great news! I am happy that you have your date. It will here before you know it.

I will be taking two weeks off to get comfortable and heal after my banding. My doc said that this should be enough time if everything goes smooth.

Hi there! I am new to the group. I had a date in August and had to move it back to September 15th with Dr. Hollis here is Houston.

Today the doc's office called me with some last minute details. One of them was a 400.00 fee that has to be paid four days before my procedure.:):mad: And I am waiting to hear from the hospital to make sure all of my costs are covered. There is no way I will be able to add in 400.00 to my budget for this month. I did not plan for this and now I may have to push the date back. I have an appointment with the surgeon friday and I guess I will see what happens then.

Cool!! That was my date also!

LMAO!!!! He does have an odd sexiness about him.:tongue_smilie:

See!!! i knew I was not the only one!! Like I said, some of these young boys can get it!!:biggrin:

The "fee" is for the assistance of his nurse to assist him in the procedure. I am a bit put off by this and I am going to just change my date. I have my appointment on Friday and will change it then. With five kids and school starting on the 25th I just can not tweek my budget and I do not want to have to borrow from my savings when i can wait a few weeks.

Things will be fine. I will be saying a prayer for a smooth procedure and recovery.

I was very happy to find my sistas here. :)

I am trying to figure out the best way to deal with this after I have had my procedue. I am an true to the definition of emotional eater. Right now I am having a bit of anxiety about letting my 5 year son go for a week with my in-laws out of state. He has never been away from me for that long.:thumbup::crying: So I was just going to make me a snack when I realized I am not even hungry, just a bit nerved up. How do you guys deal with issues like this and what it the best way to tackle it? BTW I did not eat the snack, no need to since I was not hungry.:teeth_smile:

I know it may seem odd, but I am a visual person and I like to know what't going on ( a little bit of a control freak) So for me to be able to see the procedure from that view has helped a lot. My DH joked that I may be able to perform the procedure myself by the time this is over, since I have watched and researched so much.

Hats off to your friend! I am glad she said something to Jerk 1 & 2. I would never allow my children to have said anything like that or much less have laughed. But I am also the parent that will force children to apologize for their behavior or comments. It is sad that some people teach this hate to their kids.

Thanks for posting this.:w00t:
