lol did you realize that Track was really TracyK???

I love my dr, he is such a shit head but smirks the entire time I'm in there with him. He likes messing with me. He told me I better start going to the Tanning hut to boost my mood. LOL ... now that is from a man who has been with me for 2 winters and 2 tanning seasons... not to go get mental help.

Denise. How scary, how is your dd?

I have so many windows open from all day i don't know what I have going on here... sorry if i missed something

Okay I need advice.....I am freaking out. I went for my fill today and the Dr could not pull out any Fluid. He was kind of so so about it but later admited I could have a small leak. He had trouble getting into my port and I am not sure he ever did. He ended puting in 2cc where I had been over 3. I still feel like I dont have any restriction. I had my surgery in Mexico and have a call into the Dr to see what he says.

The first time I went to get a fill my friend went to get one. She had 3 fills and he couldnt pull anything out either and she has been fine ever since and he has gotten fluid out everytime since then.

Has this happened to anyone?

Shannon

The time before last that I went in was because I didnt feel any restriction after a fill. I went back in and there was only 1/2 of my fill left and he has no idea why...been fine since and have restriction so who knows where it went? He thinks maybe during my last fill when he withdrew the fluid it may have disconnected from the port when he put it back in, sending it back into my tissue rather than into the port. Don't stress out (easier said than done). Wait until they look into it more and go from there...Good luck! :lol:

Denise. How scary, how is your dd?

We went to her appt today and the doc said that everything looks ok with her and the baby. They think she may have had a vagal response (similar to soldiers who stand too long and the blood doesn't circulate back to their brains), which is common with pregnant women, or she may have had low blood sugar. We bought her a bunch of Snacks to have on hand during the day so that she has things between meals....

We saw the baby on ultrasound, still looks like a little blob but it had little arms and legs and was moving around LOL. She's only 10 weeks but she's gained 3 lbs, which she needs because she's always been a STICK.

They gave her some work restrictions from lifting and prolonged standing, but released her back to work starting tomorrow....

On the other side is my other daughter who is doing fantastic. She's finally starting to gain weight now that she's 22 weeks. She had lost 20 lbs all together with the all day sickness, but she's gained about 5 of that back since she's been feeling better. :lol:

Adorable - so glad dd is better. I will keep her in my prayers with Macy!

Speaking of Macy - how is Macy doing this evening - getting any relief from that high fever and big D?

TerriDoodle - I did liquids and then back to basics and I feel back in control of eating. Losing the 10 lbs that I regained from my lowest reading.

The issue now is that I leave for a conference at Sanibell Island just outside Ft Meyers FL for 5 days and they feed you every meal -- I have to stay strong. I must - I don't know that I will have the willpower to though.

:lol: Have a good night everyone! :)

Shannon, my last fill was missing some, I am assuming it is a fluke, but the Dr. will recheck next month. Nothing to worry about 1st time.

Judy- I have had hypoglycemia (kind of like diabetes) since I was 16. I have not had one episode since I've been banded. I'm a believer.

Ay-yi-yi.........just looked at the 401K....makes my stomach sick!

Good thing we don't have everything wrapped up there.

Denise, I fainted once when I was pregnant! I had gone by where my ex husband worked, and we had walked behind the counter (parts dept.) and down an aisle, to talk $$$. I started seeing black dots, and woke up to every counterman in the store standing over me! Never happened again.....no idea why it did then! I had just come from lunch---which is why we were arguing money! I had spent some!!! OMG! LOL

Anyway, the pregnancy advanced just fine, no other serious issues, I did end up with a tooth that give me crap the entire pregnancy, and ended up with a root canal when she was like 9 days old!

Baby was fine though! Dang near 9 lbs!

Hope your DD is feeling better, and that all goes well!!! Hugs!

Tracy, hope Macy is feeling better tonight---how are YOU feeling? Do you think you have what she does, or are you simply exhausted? Keep us updated, you are such a good Mommy!

Yes Terry you can come over and play under the tent with Kinsey and I! Yes---I sat under the table and played!!! I had to! I am the only one of us who can read she told me! Was fun, and was also a huge NSV for me. Crawling! I fit under there, and I was able to manuever around. I can't describe it, it was just fun----I loved being able to play with her under there, and not have to decline for lack of being able.

Was a shame to hear about Heath Ledger. I have not heard what they suspect COD to be.

Guess I will check my email and call it a night! See y'all in the morning!

Hugs~~

Kat

Good morning everyone!

Macy is feeling better. No fever since about 4 PM yesterday. I went in her room when she was sleeping and she was sweating it out. She still has a horrible cough and a stuffy head.

As for me, yep, you guessed it. I have it now. Thankfully (so far) my fever has not gone above 101.5. I have the tight chest & coughing. Just all around miserable. Not to mention the scale bounced back up to 180 today. Oh well, it is just temporary.

Have a great day violets.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
