 Hi Joyce

My site pain is gone. I think I had over done it the day before. But I think I need another fill. It's been less than 3 weeks and I was hoping for more time in between (the $$ thing). Thanks for asking.

A hike in the canyon sounds great. Good for you!

Topic: Do I Need Another Fill????
 I had my first fill on June 01st. But this past week I am hungry often, lost just a pound and a half and have been eating foods I shouldn't be. Does this mean I need another fill all ready??  Jean

Topic: Stuff????!!!
What's up Arizona?

Jean...you find out about your pain yet sweetie pie?  Feeling better?

Lithia - Did you have fun at Out of Africa?  What did you think?

Bubbles - Did you get your revision lined up with Dr. Juarez?


Anyone working out right now?  What's your routine?  .... I'm just recovering from surgery and have worked up to a very whimpy 3/4 mile!!!  As soon as I'm released to exercise, I'm hoping to find a couple of L.A. Fitness workout buddies and build myself a muscle or 2.  I have a Grand Canyon hike in Sept scheduled with the family!!!

How's everyone's weight loss coming along?  Anyone need some behind kicking or some cheerleading or a sounding board of ideas from all of us?

What's up for your summer?  Anyone doing anything they haven't been able to do for a long time or ever?  Camping?  Hiking?  Flying?  Amusement Park rides? 

I've added one more fun thing to my Bucket List (things I want to do before I hang it up).....Go on the rafting trip through the Grand Canyon!!!  Wooooo Hoooooo! 

Let's hear some fun chatter, K?!!!  It's inspiring and helps all of us learn

Topic: RE: PORT SITE PAIN

Jean,

Hope you are feeling better.  Please give Dr Fang a call tomorrow if not.   From my past experience Dr. Fang and Emile are excellent if you are having problems.    Let me know how you are doing.

Topic: RE: An rizona Board??So glad I found you! Getting a revision...hopefully
my advise just get the DS. More work on your end but trust me it's worth it. Even if you get the RNY and it works for you, it's a tuff road to hoe.
Fight for the DS.
The DS board will walk you through the steps to make it happen.
Once you got it don't look back.

Topic: RE: PORT SITE PAIN
Depending on your symptoms (and your surgeon), it might be serious; but then it might not be ...

If it continues, get a second opinion -- here's a profile of someone who didn't get a second opinion soon enough:

Hopefully this won't happen to you.   But, everyone can take a lesson from his mistake.

Topic: PORT SITE PAIN
 HI Anyone

The last day or so I have had pain in the area of my port when I bend over, when I go to sit down or when I lean to the left while sitting. I had my surgery on April 13th and no problems since then. Any ideas?   Jean

Haven't been there, so let me know what you think.  We did go on the Verde Valley Train in late April.  If was OK for the first hour and BORING for the next 3!
