I did not want to freak anybody out, but Dr.K. gave me his home phone # (just in case, but wanted me to check in with him today) so I did and I had a rash I was concerned about and yaddda yadda.

He said I was doing great, not to be concerned, he will see me on Wed. and we can resched lapband in 4 weeks. Don't eat too many calories he said as he hung up the phone!

What a great guy!

I went to work today;I could have gone to work yesterday but was kinda paranoid about the colon thing, today I am much more relaxed especially since I am not showing any signs of bad stuff going on.

Chris you will fly through this!Tell them to order pizza for dinner...

OK, one more HURAH for the year. Leaving in the Morning for my last sled trip. If it aint a blizzard it will be AWSOME!!!

Hey all!

Chris after surgery you do have to remind yourselk to eat. There are several times when I find that I am not hungary but it is time to eat. I know you will do awesome.

How is everyone doing? How are things going?

My first week back to work was good. It was a bit tiring at first and it was hard to stand on my feet all day, but that is the way it goes. I also started going back to the gym this week. Taking it very slow of course, but it was good to get back in a routine.

Sorry that I have not been on in awhile, I have just gotten busy again.

Well I hope that you are all well.

Chris, I bet you are getting excited, you are alomst there. Don't you just love Dr. Ganser. He is such a great guy!

Talk to you all later.

Woohoo, woohoo, woohoo Chris is getting banded! Woohoo.

What do you mean last sledding trip? You WILL be out again next weekend you'll see how easy this really is.

Are you staying the night??? Your Mom will be there right? She is the post op nurse right?

Post from the hospital and use that new laptop!

[drtnsnw 0]

Won't be spending the night, I want to get home asap!!

She is one of the night recovery nurses, but I don't knoww when she is working there.

I am getting pretty excited about this getting on. I will post from the hospital for sure. the new laptop is pretty nice.

It is pretty tough where we ride sleds, I will ask Dr Ganser when I talk to him either at the surgery, or postop when i can ride agin. we went out today and it was a complete white out!! we spent all morning digging sleds out that were stuck in over 4 feet of fresh powder!!!

Dr Ganser it awsome!! Really put me at ease. I just wish I liked my GP as much as I do him.

What time is your surgery tomarrow? I will be anxiously waiting to see your post.

28# DOWN! That is fantastic!!

Maybe I should have not cheated as much on my pre op diet; imagine that!

[drtnsnw 0]

Surgery is not till 1:30!! Of course I have to work all night tonight and with this weather I am going to be in the tractor all night plowing snow!!

Word of caution to all renoites, stay off the roads tonight!!!! It is awful out there. Took me 1.5 hours to get to work!

I am so excited for you! Don't forget to post with all the details, I am sure Gail will be anxiously waiting too since she is the next one in our little forum after you.

I just thought..... You can't eat today, not even Water, that is okay you are probably so intune to getting surg today that it won't even cross your mind.

Then after surg. you will be HAPPY to get those ice chips!

Just another note: When you start your post op diet everything tastes soooooo salty, even cream of wheat.

Thinking about you today Chris. Good Luck!

I go in for my pre-op tests tomorrow. Still on the Protein but I haven't lost anything for two days! I think I have met my 10% requirement as long as the docs scales read like mine. At least I still have few more days to work it!

How ya feeling Pam? I have missed seeing you on here!

I am on here day and night; I swear!

I feel great! I went back to work on Saturday, a teeny teeny teeny bit sore but not a big deal, just had to move a little slower getting out of my chair to help customers.

I am looking forward to being banded and I visit the March bandster thread at least 3x a day.

And I saw you on Remedydr. (the ones that we paid for thru western bariatrix~that is not 1/2 as good as this one) but maybe I just have not met my "niche" over there like our little reno group here.

Have you added some Protein to your shakes?

[gailannr 1]

Do I have to add Protein to the Bariatrix?

Yes, I am so far kind of disappointed with the Remedy website. Maybe I just not familiar with it as much as this one. It took me a while to figure this one out.

I was going to ask you a while back...Do you know if everyone who has had a hysto done has that lining removed like you?

Gail

[Success in lapband 0]

No you do not have to add Protein to bariatrix.

I was referring to the private PM we did about starving and cheating...

The ONLY reason I had my omentum taken out; as a precautionary thing due to cancer.

They typically do not take the omentum with your hysto.

Don't worry about the colon puncture thing, it only ever happens to me, and I have accepted this all my life. One in a million! That would be me!

[gailannr 1]

Oh duh on Me!!!

Yes, I did shrimp and then I did some steak night be for last. I know I shouldn't have done the steak but I was so hungry. I don't want to blow this at all! But I think I am ok as far as my weight loss. I just win if I lose while I am on a roll or rolls as the case may be!:heh:
