jcgrove29 0 Posted July 31, 2008 Hey, trying to catch up on a least some of the last few hundred pages. Watching it rain AGAIN. Only been able to get one day of walking in this week. I guess it is better than nothing. I'm on my third new set of fat clothes this month. It will be a relief when I get a handle on this thing. I hope everyone is well. Have to get back to work.

Great2BThin 5 Posted August 1, 2008 Well I've not felt like doing much riding. I have gone to the gym some. Guess I am going to have to put the bike up for a few weeks. I am going to be having gall bladder surgery next week on Friday. Will be nice to have it over with, but not looking forward to another surgery so soon, was banded on June 5th. But I do look forward to this ache in my side being gone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OH Juli 15 Posted August 1, 2008 LBT- That's no fun, but what more can you do but take care of what needs to be taken care of. Fooey... here's to a speedy recovery! J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
areellady 1 Posted August 1, 2008 Awe, Long, bless your heart!!! I am sorry the second surgery in such a short time, but it will be nice to not have the pain. Does the doc think that the gall bladder is because of the weight loss??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
areellady 1 Posted August 1, 2008 We are going camping today!! Hopefully it will not be too hot. HP, have fun camping, as well. J and BG, have a blast doing MB, and please be careful!! Have a great weekend everybody....talk to you soon!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Great2BThin 5 Posted August 1, 2008 Yep he does. He thinks it might have been in not so good shape before, but just not enough to cause symptoms and then the loss has aggravated it. With my wanting to continue losing especially he recommended removal as it would aggravate it more. And the ultrasound showed stones and not to risk a stone getting stuck in a bile duct or something. I was in the lapband chat room here recently and someone in there mentioned they heard 40% of banders have gall bladder issues. Not sure if there is any truth to that or not, I've not seen that statistic in an 'official publication' or anything. I asked my dr. how much a gall bladder weighed and he just laughed at me. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hoosierpoms 0 Posted August 1, 2008 i heard anytime we loose a big amount of weight that happens....so it proably is correct in saying that D,....yes...you have fun as well......suppose to be in the low to mid 90's....yes, that sounds like a blast!!!

OH Juli 15 Posted August 1, 2008 I head out on the bus Mega Bus that is, not Grey Hound, in 30 minutes. I'm really psyched. My trainer called yesterday and left me the best message about how I've got what it takes to do this...mind over matter and all that encouraging stuff. Stacy and I are going to have a blast to be sure. Can't wait to share with you what we discover about ourselves. :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
