Morning V's!

That's fine Pam just call me when you want! and there's like LITERALLY a million malls in SecondLife, so you giving me the name of one doesn't mean anything lol. There's a billion stores. If you want to move on your own, go to 'search' and type in like.. whatever you're looking for.. night club, sex beach, casino, bingo, etc. And it'll pull up places that have it, you select on it, and it teleports you there.. and away from wherever you are. If you find a place like that has bingo for example, and you like that place and want to come back another time, at the top you select uhm.. I think it's 'world' -- 'create landmark here'. And it puts it in a notecard in your inventory so you can go back later.

I'll explain more when you call!!

KAT!!!! Are you ok??????????????????

The magnesium citrate I took the other night is still working.. I get this urge to poo all the time, but then nothing comes out. Ugh. Stomach is rumbling right now. BUT the cramps are gone! I have been getting nauseated though.

Good Fri Morn, Vi's~~

Not much to say... dh just left for the week on work... so it's just me & the kids again! I kinda enjoy that every once in awhile. I joked w/the kids last night and said, "Daddy's travelling for work tomorrow... you know what THAT means." and they said, "We're going to Disney World!" ha ha ha... and no, we're not... but I like to threaten him that we are... I'm warped that way.

When dh is away, I don't have to cook as much as the kids don't care what they eat... so I'm going to try try try to keep it simple & BE GOOD w/eating. + exercise.

Purple power to everyone who's got crud going on... we need to get out of this funk!!

Make it a great day, everyone!

You forgot, because I'm feeling a million times better now!! :blush:

The doctor told me to take magnesium citrate, and come to his office in 2 days if I was still in pain. Not still in pain, so I'm not going.

I do have an appt. to get a fill on April 9. HOORAY. And appt. with a GP on april 7, so I will finally have a doctor, no more of this clinic BS!!!

We had a long sales meeting yesterday, one of the sales guys was fired.. and his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts on Monday. NOT his week. I felt really bad.. and what's worse is they're giving me his lap top. Where I should be excited to finally get a lap top, I'm just thinking of the guy who just lost it.

I just talked to Kat

She said that she is trying to find out if she can get a complete unfill done in Albeqeurque (is that how you spell it?). If not she is planning to make the 6 hour drive to have it done. She has not had any fever today (thank God). She said she will give us an update as soon as she can...

I'm glad that at least the fever is gone. I was going to call her later on today. That sucks that she can't go to the ER to get an unfill done.

OH, my sister just got out of surgery. She's officially banded!! She's in a little pain and kinda groggy. She'll be in the nurse's observation area for two hours and then she'll be moved to her private room. I'll keep ya'll updated with her progess...

I forgot to tell you that I have Dr. J Lo on my list for a facial PS consult! I keep meaning to call his office to set up the appt, just haven't done it yet. He's got awesome patient reviews!

I got this new SUPER PRETTY shirt.. wearing it today and it's making me miserable. It's got sequins and beadwork on the edges, and the sleeves are bell sleeves.. they're under my forearms and cutting my skin constantly. Argh.

Hi girls---sorry for not checking in earlier. I was pretty out of it last night. We drove to Durango, they were totally unhelpful----concerned for their $$$$ only. Then this morning I have spent all morning on the phone trying to get help--which is not forthcoming!

Before I had my surgery--I picked my surgeon, Dr. Brown in CO., then insurance failed me, so I went to MX, Dr. Brown agreed to do aftercare--he is 6-7 hours away....over snow packed mountain passes at this time of year. So since he was so far away I set up with my oncologist to do an emergency unfill for me.

Well this hits---my PCP, and my band Dr., are both out of town until Monday. The stand in for my band Dr. is in Denver. So one of Becky's co workers was unfilled at the ER in Durango---they turned me away. My local ER also said they had no way to do it, I needed to be seen by my band Dr.

I contacted the oncology center, and my old oncologist is not in practice anymore, they did however find my file, and would see me, but they do not have nor could they get before probably Tuesday a Huber needle, which is needed for deep tissue non coring port taps.....

So we widened the circle of search....there is a Fill Center USA in Albq. now, they can fit me in on Thursday. I explain to the almost non English speaking woman, that is not going to work! Actually I called the main office, spoke with a very nice understanding girl, who then conferenced in the Albq. Dr.'s office, who acted like she did not even understand what an unfill was. She cannot fit me in until Thursday.

By the time I leave here, even if I left now, I would not make it to the band Dr.'s offices in Denver in time. Not sure what I am going to do....

But I am not totally dehydrated--I still have tears! This is so frustrating. I was prepared! Just not for them to all abandon ship at once. I have been trying to sip Water again....guess I will just do my best, and if it gets bad, go in for IV fluids....and hope I don't erode in the meantime.

Thanks for calling Tracy---wish I hadn't been so distracted....

Will let you know.

Hugs~~

Kat

Kat, how long is a plane ride to your band doctor? If I were in your shoes that's what I would do. My band doctor is 45 min away by plane if need be... Keep us posted... ((((hugs))))

Yes Terry, Erika is in Mexico. Our band doctor is in Monterrey. Plastic surgery capital of Mexico! He he he... One of my aunts is down there too. She's getting a face lift and her boobs done. My poor mom, she is going to be taking care of both of them for a few days down there...

      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.
