Jason, it's so good to see you back here!!! I can't believe you were too tight, that's nuts!!! I guess every person really is different!

Akirra, your support person needs to come to your meeting with your surgeon. I took mine to my 3 hour appointment but she didn't need to be there.

Jason, I think she meant discharged for d/c. Glad your doing well, welcome back.

Vicki, Linda is not free until Friday. However, are you going to the Support meeting? We might be able to meet for coffee before the meeting begins.

Judy as far as I know, I will be at the support meeting wed. what time does it start?

hey shar, hows it going? all went well for me too. my stomach swelled too much and they had to take 1cc of Fluid out b4 i could go home. omg, it was torture! then dr hoffman took it out, what a difference it made! let me tell you being too tight is awful! so far i've lost 20 lbs since mon:thumbup: and yea! perhaps i'll be @ the meeting is it weds?

Hi Jason... d/c meaning discharged. Wow, did it hurt because it was a new incision when he took out the excess saline ? Or does it always hurt when they do an adjustment ? I wonder.. Anyway, you sound like your doing great !! I didn't loose nearly as much as you did since last week.. maybe 4-5 lbs but its ok... as long as it comes off !! Meeting is torrow night at BGH -6pm- first floor.. Valet park and the room is around the side of the cafe as you walk in the lobby on the right and thru the double doors.. Hope to see you there.

Hi everyone, I am looking forward to seeing everyone at tomorrow nights meeting. Jason way to go with the weight loss! Ladies - it is a scientific fact that men lose faster than women so don't get discouraged! Also remember that everyone reacts differently. I haven't been stuck yet and I have eaten way more at times than I think I should have been able to and today, while I am still suppossedly on soft I had a ribeye. No problems. Maybe I haven't recogonized my full sensation yet. I don't know. My next appointment is the 25th.

I pray we will all be strong over the next month and Celebrate friends, family and the season and not the food.< /p>

[JudyAnticola 2]

No, d/c means discontinued as in a drug or treatment. This comes from 30 years of hospital experience.

[JudyAnticola 2]

Linda, at five weeks you should be able to eat meat. That is great that it did not get stuck, I wish I had a ribeye, moan...., I had a crappy salad with not much chicken in it!! How many ounces were you able to eat do you think? I am just curious. I can eat about a cup of food at each meal, but I guess I need to go down as I did not lose much.

I saw Hoffman today, I only lost 2 pounds in the last 5 weeks, but better than a gain I guess!

My adjustments did not hurt, but you might be right, because he was so tender from the surgery. I can not imagine any one probing around on day 1-owwwww.

[JudyAnticola 2]

Jason, so there was Fluid in your band when they put it in? I am just asking because I met someone today who said there was no fluid in the band when it is placed. I was pretty sure there was 1.5 ml in mine, but I can not remember why I thought that.

[JudyAnticola 2]

Judy,

When is your appt. with Dr Hoffman? Mine is tomorrow at 3pm.

Rain, was that you leaving about 4:30? I got out about 5:15 or so. It did not really matter to me though as I did get a lot of reading done. I have to call tomorrow for an appointment though because the girls had all left.

How did you do? Better than me I hope!! You looked great!!

[JudyAnticola 2]

Judy as far as I know, I will be at the support meeting wed. what time does it start?

Vicki, it starts at 6 pm. Will you eat before the meeting or do you want to grab something (healthy of course) after the meeting?

I have some training in the afternoon, but I might be able to meet for coffee before, but after would be better if it works for you.

I love your rainbow apple!

[val 7]

d/c can mean both- but in this case it means discontinue
