Janie, what a cool way to look at this! I've lost the equivalent of my almost-6-year-old daughter!! :cool: :D

Wow, no wonder I used to have trouble going up and down the stairs. I can barely carry her now. 50 lbs is a LOT!! :eek:

During my initial consult with my Lapband surgeon, I told him I wanted to lose 100#. We like to feed wild birds in our back yard. Those seed sacks weigh 50# each. It will be wonderful to be able to shed that amount off of my heart and joints!

Donali, how are you feeling today? I remember those gallbladder attack pains, not any fun. Do you have a local pcp you can go to, besides your lapband dr. in Mexico? Best of luck to you!

I feel like nothing happened - exactly like a galllbadder attack. And yet, it CAN'T be that, since I no longer have one.

I want to see my band doc first to get the thumbs-up on my band before I see my PCP here. I don't want anyone unfamiliar with the band immediately assuming it's the culprit. I want to know FIRST that it's okay, so I can confidently direct them away from that as a possible cause.

And since I feel like my old self, there is no emergency at the moment. Hoping I can get in tomorrow for my band eval/1 year check-up. Still waiting to hear back from them...

Donali, next week is my 6 wk post op. Isn't that when they say I can get a fill? I ask this because I'm torn between consulting with my local doc ($150 consult) or flying to San Diego next week. Darn, wouldn't that be a hoot to see Lopez together? All my options are up in the air now. My horoscope said to think before I act. Maybe you guys can help thing for me today. Any suggestions? I'm waiting for Teng's office (local) to open... if their schedule permits me to see them today, I may just go in. But first have to read up on the vet link. Doing that as soon as I'm done reading new posts.

Oh, it would be TOO swell to meet up next week. I don't have anything marked on my calendar yet, but a good friend is getting married the 20th, and I may be called upon for last minute favors. But definitely keep me posted on if you're going to be here, and maybe we can meet up. If I don't get in to see Lopez tomorrow, maybe he can see me the 19th. :cool:

But you have to promise not to get me thrown in jail for streaking down Avenido Revolucion, or something equally decadent... lol

[DeLarla 22]

All I can do is laugh in response to that one. One Tequila, two tequla, three tequila, floor!

[DeLarla 22]

Just for sport I'm gonna check flight prices for the morn of 6/19/04 with a return flight in the afternoon. If Lopez is available, I may book it. I'm letting the wind take me where I'm supposed to be, and the local doc's number has been busy all morning... the universe knows what it's doing.

My horoscope said to think before I act.

Yeah, but DeLarla... Shouldn't your horoscope always say that?!?! :cool: lol
