Is there a support group meeting in Hilo on December 7? I have it on my calendar but am not sure if it's still on or not.

Congrats on your revision!  I know you've been waiting  and looking forward to it for so long.  I'm sure after a few days, you will not look back and you'll be happy you went through it!  Sending you some Aloha from the Islands and wishing you a quick recovery!!

Hi Ilene,

I don't have any information on doctor's and I am not familiar with Tricare Prime but I just wanted to say welcome and hopefully someone will have some information about doctors. I had surgery in California and he comes to Hawaii for follow-up visits so I am not sure how it works for those who had surgery on the island.

Again welcome.

Ole

 Congratulations Ginger!  Hope you're feeling better and back on your feet very soon!  Welcome to the looser's bench once again!

Aloha,
Nicole

Hey everyone! I am lying here in my hospital bed and thought I would check in.  My hubby is great and brought my comeuter to me for my stay.  I woke upthis morning and really freaked out and told mom I didn't want to do this anymore so maybe I could just stay home.  She said no way.  When I got here I told Dr. Davis I changed my mind and he reminded me that we have been fighting too hard to get my approval so I couldn't back out now.  I actually went back by 7:45.  I wasn't supposed to head back to the OR until 8:30.  I cried the entire way there and I was shaking so much the nurse thought I was cold.  Juse nerves.  Once I was on the table they got meunder anesthesia and I don't remember anything until I woke uo sort of in recovery. They brought me up to my room long before I was really ready but oh well not the worst thing ever. I was so nauseated I cried for hours and everyone was tryingto help but nothing did.  I am still pretty nauseated but I am trying not to think about it too much.  Anyway since I slept all day I am afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.  I hope the nausea goes away and despite all the yuckyness of the day for my I am relieved it is done!!  (I had a revision today from Lapband to RNY)
