<p>Dynamomini, </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>I appreciate your candor, I guess I am not lucky enough to get phsyc support individually. Regarless I would like to recieve it from someone like the therapist. she seems to know what she is doing and have it more a support as opposed to social hour. I guess I will miss you. </p> <p> </p> <p>Good bye ladies</p>

Rosey80231~Have you been to one of those sessions yet? Sorry we'll miss you, but there is Saturday afternoon also. Is that day a possibility? For some of us, this "social hour" is quite effective! Connection to others that have had this done helps me tremendously. See if Saturday will work....have a great day!

woofay, <p>I have not but my previous emails with her seem very interesting. I will attend the meeting with her Tuesday. I am interested in making sure that my decision to have the band is not a quick solution and more of a livestyle change. I am sure you will have a lovely time but I think I need to focus in my overall healing. If I have the opportunity to get some coaching from her I will take he opportunity. Social hour, as much as I will miss it I can have some other time. If you are interested I would be happy to give you a private recap after the meeting. Please be well!</p>

Thanks, Rosie, but I have attended before and a recap is truly not warranted. I do much better with my social hour. Thanks though and good luck.

Mornin' Gals!

Dynamo~Can you bring my book?

Tied2b~I have a few things I would like to pass on to you, if you are interested. I have a bottle of Isopure, Better that Boulioun (chicken and beef), soup...I also have a couple of books, if your interested. I know you can't make it Saturday, maybe Tueday night???

Well, my son just could'nt take another day without a kitty (sound familiar...just like his mommy with my dog). We were at the Humane Society last night and adopted a new kitty. That place makes me depressed, I wanted to adopt all of them! I was walking through there just crying, could'nt take it, I just couldn't look those little darlings in the eye...but we saved one...almost two! I think we are going to name him Otis???

ANYWHOOOO...see ya' at 12:30!

Tied2b~You'll do fine, and you'll love it! Let us know whats buggen ya and we'll help you out any way we can. Even with all the crazy stuff thats gone on with me, I would do this again in a second. Pm or post anytime, thats what I did. I was quite uptight(freaking out) before my surgery and this place pulled me through! I really hope I can make it Tuesday...I would just love to meet you!

Have a great day all.....see ya in a few!:biggrin1:

Hey, Mal~ that book that I borrowed from you was great...the "living with the lap band" by the mexican doctor...I liked that book. Is that one of the ones? Hee hee! See you soon!:biggrin1:

Oh ya, congrats on the new kitty! Make sure you bring a pic...on your camera is fine...but gotta see!

So I got a VM from Dr. K...apparently he only does fluros if he thinks there is a big problem?? Frustrating....but oh well, guess I'll schedule a fill and talk to him about it and at least have him pull out whats in there so I can see how much is actually in there before he re-fills me.

I still wonder if I've stretched my pouch and want to know how are we supposed to know if we don't get a fluro done?? If I go on liquids//mushies for a few days, would that fix any stretching if there was any??

Hey Dee -- I had the same intubation fears; I think it's a nurse thing. Honestly, my experience at your hospital turned out to be the best I've ever had -- I think you'll even have a better experience than I because you work there and you're "family" to the staff so to speak. You're going to do great!!

Ya'll have a good time at lunch today and dinner next week. I sure wish I could join you guys! Don't forget to take lots of pictures! One of these days I'm going to surprise you all and just show up. Maybe on my 1-year bandiversary next September...

Mal -- I love the name Otis --"Milo and Otis" was one of my son's favorite movies when he was small. Brings back memories of my babies, yet again.

Hey VA -- I'm sorry about your situation. Maybe the doc who does your fills (Dr. Brinkley in your signature) could do a fluro for you? Didn't someone a few pages back mention tht Dr. K uses an ultrasound machine to locate ports -- would that help? Maybe your PCP could order a barium swallow at your local hospital? I don't know... just throwing some ideas out.
