Hi Julie, I read that you had your surgery done in Duluth, MN. That is where I go to school and I'm planning to have my banding done there. Did you get it done at St. Lukes? Drop me a line, msg or whatever

You had your gallbladder removed? Did you have a lot of pain in the right side of your chest? I had to see an internal medicine doctor for that as well as my tachycardia(elevated heart rate) But I ask about the gallbladder because I was getting pain in the ride side of my chest ONLY after I ate greasy, fattening foods. I googled it(bad idea sometimes!) and found out it could be my gallbladder. But lately, it has not been bothering me, even if I eat some "bad food". At the time I was also on fish oil supplements because my triglycerides are high, but when I stopped taking them, the pain stopped too? It's weird.

Gosh I feel like I am pouring out my life story here, haha. Sorry! And yeah, I have to be on a liquid diet 2 weeks before my surgery. I'm sure people can cheat but I will stick to it. May as well get used to it because of all the restrictions you have to follow post-surg.

Later.

Hey!

I'm not really nervous, anxious is more like it. I am so ready to shed these pounds, I work out like crazy, which does kind of help because I'm building muscle, but I can't wait to have the surgery mostly because I hear the young people slim down pretty fast unlike the older patients. My mom had the surgery done in Nov 2008, she has lost a lot of weight which is why she said if I wanted to get the surgery, I could. I think it will give me that little "push" I need to get back into a healthy lifestyle.

I have to send you another msg bc I am out of characters.
