Topic: RE: why am I getting scared now?
Lap and other than the diarrhea, I am doing great. A little tired, but I have been working hard. (Keep having to wash sheets, rugs, underwear. I am a mess.) My friend who had it the same day isn't having this problem. (We met at orientation and got to have our surgery the same day [same surgeon].)
She is also getting around great and feeling good. My surgery was first, then hers. She went home about 45 minutes before me (she had further to go) on Monday.
I am amazed at how well I do feel. I truly believe it was the prayers of friends.
Take care, and God Bless,

Topic: Nexium - Discount Card
I had my surgery in September and I thought you newbies would like this information.
I am not sure if some of you know this but there is a card from Nexium that can give you a savings. I didn't know about this until yesterday when I went to see my PCP. I was asking him if Nexium has a generic because my insurance don't cover too much and I have to pay a $55 co-pay. He asked if my surgeon gave me a card for Nexium. I was like what? He then gave me this card that says Purple Plus Savings Card. You can visit the web site www.purplepill.com/index.aspx . I haven't used the card yet but he told me that I wouldn't have to pay the $55 and only will have a payment of $5.00 I can live with that.
This is just for your information.
Aloha,
Asia

Topic: Day two of liquid diet
Today is my second day of the two week liquid diet. Last night, I had a really bad headache. I think it was from the withdrawal of food. I do have sinus problem but I don't think it was that. I was wondering is anyone else doing the two week diet now? If so what are you experiencing?
