Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum

[Tater Bug 1]

Thanks Lapdancer!

I feel so good acting like such a little kid... I have had 2 flavor ice otter pops,, 2 really small bowls of Jello and in a bit I think that I will go for a milk shake... I even have my daughters froggie slippers on... LOL

Haven't watched cartoons yet.. but thats okay. I only used to like the Smurfs and Elmer Fudd and I dont know if they still play those. It is easier when I dont try to talk... but in my house.. that is almost impossible... but after something cold it is easier.

I just hope that what happened to me doesn't make any one else more nervous. It just happened to be one of those wierd things.

Bright side.. tonight I am going to soak again in my tub.. I love bubble baths.. so.. I am going to treat myself..

You will be very impressed with the facility in Parker.. I know I am!

Tater Bug,

I just wanted to let you know that you have been in my thoughts all day. I have been praying for you! I am happy to hear that you are feeling better and that you will try again! Hang in there, keep us posted.

Woofay,

I am so happy to hear that you are doing well. Your journey has begun, how exciting!!

I had it done in Parker. What a really nice facility! It's failrly new and they have a player baby grand playing as you go in the doors. Very caring, helpful, and sincere people. I only have hopitals from Phoenix to compare to, but compared to them this place was like a resort.

sunnysea~ I set up my weight ticker thingy, but I don't know what to do to have it show up with my post/signature. How do I get it over here?

Woofay, It took me along time to understand how to do this too. First you open a second web page, one with tickerfactory on it and the other with lapbandtalk. Go to user CP at the the left upper corner of this site and go into edit your signature. Then right click on your ticker and press copy, then click on your ticker and drag it down to lapbandtalk, the screen with your box to edit will pop up and just drag the circle into the box and let go. Your ticker should be there now, then lower down on that page just press save signature. I hope this helps you, I have never been trained how to work all this little extra stuff that can be done on a computer, just play around with it alittle. Other people have helped me on line here. Good luck, Sunnysea

Thanks, sunnysea... I think that I did it. I always managed to get it made, just not over onto my signature.

Tater~If you heard someone crying (other than yourself) that was probably me! I got quite panicky right at the end there until they put the sedative in the IV. (the nurses called it liquid courage, ha ha) I wanted my Mom too, even though I knew she was at home with my boys. I think that I saw your family though...I think. Was going to say hi to them, but they took me back so fast (outta the waiting room). I'm glad your feeling better...

Hey all!

I am a little better then yesterday. Odd.. even though they did not due the surgery.. I am so sleepy. I am up for a few hours then sleep for a few.. I cant tell if it is from all the chemicals that still might be tring to work threw my system or if it is also the trauma from my mouth and throat. The mornings are the hardest... but as soon as I have a popsickle or something cold it helps iwth the pain and the swelling.

I will call tomorrow and see when i can get in for surgery.. I will let ya'll know when I find out.

Thanks everyone for your prayers!!!! I appricate them so much!

Oh man. I'm sweating driplets, not bullets. I'm hanging on to every word I read. Crazy.

My suitcase is packed. My favorite toiletries. Just going through my checklist now.

Leaving for the airport at 3 AM.

Tingles.

I've been fasting since yesterday afternoon. But that's just me. I've had four abdominal surgeries/procedures and the easiest one I came through was when I had fasted for two days. Clean pipes.

okay, I'm two days past banding....and I'm still sore. But getting better. Here's a situation I've run into. I never realized, on a regular basis, how much nibbling and tasting I do while I am fixing my boys their dinner. This is going to take some real concentration on my part for the next three liquid weeks. I thought that I would feel bad enough the first few weeks to not even think of eating solid food...wrong. (I'm a true fatty through and through! HA!:biggrin1: ) Also this tape over my incisions is really really itchy. Anyone else get itchy?

Lap Dancer and DynamoMini...tomorrow is the day! I'm so excited for you! Hope that you don't get as silly as I did right before. They are really considerate and caring people.

Then Mal, Spot, and Tater...woo hoo! We'll have to go to a support group to meet each other and Drewslou, Sunnysea and anyone else I may have forgotten that lives in the area. (pain meds can make you denser than normal!)

I still can't believe I actually did it. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have without everyone on this thread! THANKS AGAIN!!:cheer2:

Hang in there.....Lap Dancer let us know how it goes.
