Topic: RE: Tired of Waiting
Well as far as the kids go I really don't think they would understand and then that would upset them.  I could be wrong.  My daughter is 9 1/2 and when I told her I would be gone for few days with Nana she point blank asked me where was I going?????  I'm not a good lier, not when put on the spot like that anyway.  lol  But, she knows how hard its been for me to lose weight.  So I told her.  She seems happy for me.  As for your girlfriend................. are you not telling her so she won't come up there or because she won't be happy for you?  If its because she won't be happy for you then I agree, she doesn't need to know.  If its because she'll want to come up there on surgery day......whats the harm?  If she is going to get on your husbands nerves but you want her there I'd explain to your husband that you really want her support and would feel a little more comfortable if she was there.  Can't remember if your having lap band or RNY (sorry)  but if it is RNY your going to be out of comission for longer, wouldn't it be nice to have a RN that cares about you to look in on you?????  Just my suggestion....please take into account husbands are not on the top of my list......mine cheated and now I'm a single mom!!!! heehee

hope this help.. a little

Topic: Jan 27
Hi my name is Teri Lynn Gould and I'm having ds done with Dr. L on Jan 27th. My dad, David Gould (I cant get over how there is a doctor who does wls named David Gould) is coming with me and refuses to leave me after I go to the hotel (he is so sweet and I'm very happy about him staying with me). I started sept 27, 2008 in requesting for ohip to cover a ds surgery. I was told about Oct 27, 2008 that I could meet with the doctor (I was told once I got this letter I wouldnt be told no for the surgery) and then I met Dr. L on Dec 1st and was told I would be having it done either in Jan or Feb of 2009. I got called on Dec 3rd that it was on Jan 27 at 10am. I'm having issues now with wanted to sleep cause I'm worried, scaried and happy at the same time. I really havent posted on the boards but I have read alot.

I was told that I needed to lose 15 pounds before the surgery and I still need to lose but I think Dr. L's scale is off by a few pounds cause I dont think it's possible to lose 8 pounds in less then 4 days. (I'm still hoping that it is right cause it helps me get closer to that goal that is so far away). I know the doctor wont cancel the surgery if I dont lose it but I will disapoint my dad for not doing what the doctor told me to do. 

I just wi**** would happen so I can be healthy and not need to worry about how my health affects everyone else in my family. Here I'm worried about everyone else but me and I know it should be me I should be worrying about being 23 days from my big day.

Topic: RE: looking for patients of Dr. David Gould
Wow

My first time on these boards (the jan 09 boards that is) and I see my dads name (granted that my dad isn't a doctor) granted I didn't see the Dr. part at the beginning.

I hope you find some of Dr. Gould's patients so they can answer your questions.

(Still in awe about seeing my dad's name who is going to be with me 100% when I get my ds done in the states)

Hi Amanda,

I wish you a very safe and successful surgery
I am scheduled for surgery on the 22nd if all goes well with my pre op on the 14th
Like you and everyone else having surgery this month I am very nervous and excited and looking forward to a new life just beginning on the 22nd.
Which surgery are you having?
I am getting RNY.
Keep in touch
I look forward to hearing how you are doing, but I know with Gods help it will be great.
Happy New Year

Topic: RE: Liquid diet making my stomach turn!
I know exactly how you feel!  I was on a semi-liquid diet for 5 weeks to lose the last few pounds, then was on all liquids for 4 days before and two weeks after the surgery.  It sucks - no way around it; you just have to remind yourself that it is short-term.  Keep your eye on the goal!

Also, experiment... I did silly stuff like mix veggie and chicken broth together so it would taste "different"  also, sugar free popsicles are refreshing and yummy!!  On the protein shakes, experiment with some of the DaVinci SF syrups to make it taste different.

Good luck!!

Topic: RE: 4 more days!!!
Hi, Ladies... I am also having my surgery on Jan 7 and getting really excited and nervous.  I am not sure what to expect on the pain level... I Have had my gallbladder out and thought that was slightly painful, I also had 2 c-sections - one of which was awful painful and 2 spinal sugeries that believe me the pain was intense for weeks.
I have bought my sf carnation instant breakfast (found in Kmart), flintstones chewables, biotin, calcium, sf pugging, sf jello and some broth.  I am nervous about forgetting and lifting something, I have a 3 yr old son and a 4 yr old daughter>  I am so afraid that I am going to lift my son up, he always wanted to be held.  My husband can't take time from work, so my mom will be there for me, but she is 70 and has bad  RA.  My parents will be staying with us for a couple of weeks, but still  I know me and I want to do for myself and my kids.  I was wondering how long until we can drive, I assume as soon as we are off the pain meds.  I have been off from work for 2 weeks already and I am just not starting to do things in my house, I have not packed and I am not sure what to pack.  I bought carmex for my lips, a bottle of water for the ride home, since it is an hour ride...but what else....robe **** my friend that had the surgery told me that her bra hurt to wear on the way home, but she say bring the largest pair of sweats I own and a pillow for the car ride home.
Help ladies, I am getting nervous and feel like I am in a panic
