I guess warmer than here, but it can get cold there too, one day my daughter said it was thirty and they had an ice storm and then 2 days later it was in the fifties, going to savannah the day after x-mas and its 4 hours south of where she lives, we will be there for four nights so hopefully it will be warmer there..

dont worry about the gallbladder, everyone i talk too says its a piece of cake, i will call you later tom. and see how your doing. you'll be fine, i am praying for you.....:D

Hi everyone I have had nausea and pelvic pain I also missed my period this month but the blood test say I'm not pregnant. Can the band cause any of this?

the band is actually kind of between your breasts.. like at the breast bone ..Sounds like your symtoms are too far low for the band to be involved, but, I would call Hoffman or Posner's office and find out first.. don't let it go.. Good luck... let me know how you made out...

It was'nt as bad as I thought it would be. Dr. H. said everything went perfect. I did have more than one large stone (not sure how many). The only thing I had problems with was when they put the tube down my throat...Really bruised it :( But aaannnyyywaaayyys everything went great :)

Hope you're having a safe and fun trip! Let us know when you get back so that we can plan to get together before me and shar's surgeries.

      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.
