Pig Pickin



Recommended Posts

We're at a pig pickin with all sorts of wonderful foods and the one thing making me crazy is seeing my son drink a diet Dr pepper....had not even thought about a soft drink in forever until today. Of course I didn't touch it....but it looked sooo good.

From the south and never been to a pig pickin....I thought these were just a staple for southerners!!! I'm in NC. Its where the whole pig is cooked in a pit like grill...and then its cut up, chopped, ribs, etc....all for the eating. Of course there is always plenty of other food too to go along with the pig....here's a pic.

The BBQ was wonderful with no sauce on it at all....that's how I ate it...very good....though I was drooling over that diet Dr pepper!!

I'd love to get together sometime....it would be so nice to have some REAL time with other people going through the same things as I am right now. Bekki - when was/is your surgery?

Oh I sure will!! I'm actually trying to keep myself busy as I called my insurance and they said it's in review as we speak and your doctor's office should get a fax by the end of the day!! I'm praying for surgery with Dr. Pirrello @ Southeast Bariatrics. His office is in Matthews.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
