Yasmina I love your name! It is arabic right, is that what your origin is? I named my daughter Aneesa which is arabic and I loved the meaning of the name, it means "loyal friend".

Thanks guys for the support, This is pretty much the only place I get it.

Carmen thinks if he aviods talking about it , my surgery date will come and go and I will not have it done. I have brought it up at least 5 times in the past week since the date was set, " he can't talk about it because it stresses him out" Well havingmore then one ass stress me out !

Thank you about the name, My first name is actually Vian, only a few people call me that. I am Ukrannian, kind of a Arabic want a be. I have been studying the language and dance ( Belly dance for several years. That is when I decided to go by my middle name. Love the culture, and of course the dark men LOL.

I love to Belly Dance ,the music the movements the was you learn to isolate muscles, it is great. We have a troupe and we dance 5 nights a week. Every three months we travel to Toronto to perfect our technique . That is one of the main reasons while we are going to Egypt. For the dance ? costumes.

Yes mandi , I cook for my dog. I don't have children so she is like my child who I have turned into a spoiled princeness. I live in Thunder Bay, amd it gets pretty cold, well she will not go pee outside without sweater, jacket and boots. I do thie because I do not want pee inside ! LOL At 6 a.m. it really sucks ! :notagree

Tres Chic,

Are you flying in to the clinic? or are you from the Toronto area ?

I live in Toronto, so thankfully, there's no travelling. I have to say, I'm getting pretty nervous now. I'm sleeping about 4 hours a night and having some epic dreams! How about you?

I got a call fro TLBC and they moved my surgery up from 12.30 to 11.00. Guess they don't want to miss lunch !

I will now have less time to be stressed over it, as I arrive in Toronto at 8a.m. and by the time I get down town and check into the hotel, it will be time to go there. OH MY GOD. There has got to be drugs for this ! LOL

Carmen gets that pleasue, but princess Breana gets pissy when I go away; and like any good Bision Frise holds a big grudge. Will not go outside unless fully clothed ( jacket sweater, boots ) and even then ,may not pee outside if you are rushing her. She sits her little bum down and will do anything until back inside where she will pee on the nearest throw rug. Have a great weekend Carmen ! LOL

I was told that Vitamin E was the best thing to put on the scar to help it heal . How long do I have to wait to do this ?

I was told to wait ten days before I take off the strips.

I just don't want an infection ! ;)

wait until the scabs from the incisions are healed over before adding anything to it. Should be somwhere in the 10 to14 days range. Good to know you are healing bell.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
