I got lucky............especially since I obvious said many strange things surgery day.............I am afraid to ask him all the details though.............LOL. Somethings I don't want to know.......The anthesologist apolizgize at discharge for scaring me!!! Ah I have no clue he did...............I am afriad to ask!! *****turning red as we speak***** I don't WANT to walk on saturday but I will...........LOL

Liz can sometimes be harsh. I call it blunt and I think in my profession I get accused of the same thing. So I guess I get it.............her attitude. I don't like being called out by her and I haveh been before over my love of vitamin water. Robin has a job to do that is not easy. I am not sure I would want her job. Your always the bad guy.........in her postion. She is very young just out of school it takes awhile to learn how to be firm and consitent and how to get people to buy into your way of thinking at the same time. I guess I sorta feel for them both and give them a break......cause my job is sorta the same!! No one really likes me most places I go...........and I have to be consistent and firm too..........LOL. I have learned however.........after 10+years how to get people to buy into my way of thinking.......to work with me to get things done...........all about negoationing and making yourself a team member and equal so you come acroess with good intentions...........hard skills to learn and sometimes they don't work...........that is why they say Social worker could become car salesmen in their next life.............we are great salespersons!! that said I got told off this week........woman told me to get the &$%^#* out her house and get off her property.......ah my skills don't always work........I would have so like to have yelled back........but ya know how it goes........"I can see you are very angry do you want to talk about it!!"..................LOL, an nope!!

Ok I just had 1500 of calcuim- 1000 went to waste. Candra seriously don't let them drive your car!! That is wrong they need to help. Pay rent and help out.........oh dear I have a guy who lived with me that pulled that I had to kick him out but he was not family.............oh that makes me mad. Kaiser richmond has been ok with me. I do think that most people don't make it and maybe they are jaded.

Dr. Baggs said if your sick enough to need an NG tube band or not they are gonna do it. So the braclet is optional. Very, very cute though................. Candra girl yo have been through it medically. This might just be a piece of cake!! Jes I agree with you. WIth my luck if something can happen it will. That is why I am not surprized bout about my unfill. I have to learn everything the hard way!! Candra my kittens all found homes but I mourned each time one left. I sent them with baby blankets their favorite toys and food.............oh dear...........crazy cat women...........I gave them to a rescue but fostered them until they found homes.........that way they paid all the vet bills.........I donated the food and love!! I still get pictures of some of them..........the last one left right before my orientation...........I figured it was a sign of something............LOL

I was me.............I did it...............blame me Yep I need a wheat thin intervention. I need probably like a 14 step group here ladies...........forget the 12 step stuff. .............this is really serious stuff here ladies.............I am a reduced fat wheat think junkie..........I need an AOD assessment ASAP!!

I had six cats last fall...........1 was mine. The rest were 4 week old kittens that I found in the trash can at work. I kept them until they were 10 weeks old and didn't sleep much with all the fly by clawings in the night.....they were a wild bunch...............I ended up keeping Sami my baby boy...........he was the only siamese in the bunch and fiesty as hell...........but he is such a beauty and I am trying to tame him..........with the squirt bottle.........he attacks me sometimes and than I fun for the squirt bottle..........he backs off now when I pick it up...........check out my arms with all my scratches from the beast.............but he can also curl up and stay with you while your recovering from surgery..........he is bi polar for sure I am seeking help for him................... He is my trash can baby. The other cat is full breed siamese and a diva............she is used to only the best and accepts no less............ Yep I am one of those crazy cat ladies you hear about!!
-
Oh you will love them Candra they are all I wear. I feel the muscles in my legs and butt from them.........no more knee pain either. I might just wear them all winter!!! Did I say I LOVE my fit flops??
-
ok I admit it I post alot and have long posts.................for better or for worse I have to speak or write my mind.............. I probably won't stop be forewarned!! LOL
-
I know I am late and this is a random thought but I also get upset when people are mean to animals.................I used to take in rescue cats but can't anymore since my siamese brats fight so much already...........they can't handle another animal....... Speaking of stress and stress relief!! My cats are just that for me...............love those fluffy, naughty, gorgeous things..........my kitten stayed on my lap the whole time I was recovering he never got up except to eat and ah............make a desposit in the cat bank..........loving having the cuddly thing chilling with me that month...........except for the port jumps starts when he landed on my port............ When I am stressed I chill with my cats better than eating huh??

Oh Nicole don't tell people I did the math!! LOL. I am not 100% sure it is right since I used my own math forumla to get there..............LOL Careful with the fills~~I started out not being able to drink much than one day I couldn't drink anything..........just watch it ladies beon the safe side!!And wishing you all your sweet spot..... Yea I hope to get a decent fill on the 3rd........but if not I will go back sooner than six weeks..............so I MIGHT get to the next fill but maybe not..............
-
Just talked to Nicole ..............that girl rocks!! She is so honest and up front about things which is one reason she is so successful. That girl tells the truth whether is is good or bad which is what ya have to do to be successful at this whole weight loss thing...............Nicole is a weightloss rock star!!! Girl I think you have broken all lap band records so far...........what are you at 60% of your weight now?? Sounds like the fill went GREAT. Telling you girls if I was at 8cc's you could just call the funeral home and take me away...............that makes me hurt inside to think about that!! LOL!! Hopefully I will see everyone on Saturday!! Still waiting to find out.............. Lunch next week. I need to check my work schedule but Thursday or Friday sounds good........ Can 't wait till the 3rd Candra and Jes............we are gonna rock the pre op class!! I promise I won't chew gum or bring in a Big gulp coffee or something..........not IV drip caffiene............actually I am having a fill that day so I will be having a starbucks decaf on the way there and nothing else till I go home................
-
well maybe the morale of the story is to get a tattoo while we still have some chubby on us!! LOL. I thought about RNY too but glad I didn't do that. At least with the band you can add or take fluid out as needed. Seriously if I would have had issues last week with RNY I could have been in the hospital. As it was it was a quick fix with the band just taking some fluid out.......... Band is the best you can make it work for you whether fill or unfill is needed..............scares me to think what would have happened last week if I had RNY!!
-
I am really close to 205 right now..........206.1 I bet I just jinxed myself with that comment though!! :-P
-
No woozy after a fill. Might feel some tightness but no usually. Totally easy.............just you can't eat right away.....fluids and you have to just see how it goes........with each fill/unfill ........you have to take a couple of days to learn how to work with it.........like see what foods work............what gets stuck and ...........just see how to work with the fill.............. Only the first fill did I feel pressure but I got 2ccs which is alot.........as much as I had taken out.......... the surgery is the most intense part once your done with that your home free Jess........................
-
thinking about my fill girls....................:-) Wishing you a great appointment and the perfect fill!!
-
might need to put up a stick for me too........looks like I have a game this weekend.......MIchaela is gonna find out after practice today if she is playing or not this one..........being a freshmen and all she might not get to play the first one...............:-)

Reading some really good books lately!! Heather looking though your FB page. Girl you have lost so much weight already..............WOW!!
-
La Chica congrats make sure you are on time that day they lock the door if your even five minutes late..........and yep don't diet until AFTER orientation!! I would love to go on a cruise but I seriously hope I am not a lady of the traveling band!!! LOL. La Chica you crack up me!! I don't want my band to travel that would called a slippage and require another surgery!! LOL. LOL. Althought since I have no restriction and can't feel my band it is entirely possible I am a sister of the traveling band!! (we are sisters of surgery but that traveling band thing is sorta catch in a very scary sorta way!!) Very funny!! Ah all my girls at at Kaiser!! Give a shout out to Dr. Baggs ladies..............put in a good word for me about a lap band 5150 rescue or some type of restriction interventions.............or hell maybe just steal a needle for me!! LOL!!
-
Ah Pam wish you were there on the third. And yea I had to make my own appointment for my next fill. I did't trust them to call me. I have to stay on top of cause I want that next fill so bad!! Pam, Pam, Pam...............have a fun back to school night I know you feel back to school night is really important study wise and all for your kids..........so you rock that outfit girlfriend!!! LOL. Enjoy it and do tell what happens!!
-
Tamra eat before you go and drink alot of water all day. And just taste a bit............ I always tell my daughter I can taste it I just can't eat it!!! Meaning one bite than move on....................cause sometimes I just wanna know what it taste like so I feel included. Of course when the band is adjusted right you don't want or need more than a taste unless you want it to get stuck or come back up!! Beautiyof the band!! It keeps the temptation or at least make overdoing anything an ordeal!! :-) Not that I would know about overdoing anything!!
-
I am here no fill for me today...........Wuuu Saaaa!! :-) I decided I better work today even though I already had it off to go to the fill. To much going on at work to take a sick day right now......
