Topic: RE: Surgery in 2 days in Des Moines need an Angel!!

Chris, I can't believe that your BIG day is tomorrow!!! This week sure went fast. WOW. Could you please give me your cell numbers again. I am not sure where I put yours and I would love to have your hubby's as well so I can call on my lunch and find out how things are going. If you want you can email them to me at [email protected] I am able to access that from work as well. I hope that things go well for you tomorrow and I will be looking forward to an update. :) And meeting you in person. You will be a good inspiration to me to get the rest of the weight off. ;) Take care and good luck tomorrow. Call me tonight if you need too. Stephanie

Patience. Sorry, but there isn't much we can do to reduce the swelling and speed healing. My surgeon said the swelling would be there for about two months, but I've read others saying theirs lasted six. Sorry, Sally

Thanks Stephanie! I am so excited that you are gonna be my Angel. There is another gal named Sharen that said she would too so I am blessed! I have 2 angels. I was hinting for you tho did you see that? lol Thanks so much. I have to be at the hospital at 8:30am. Surgery is supposed to be at 10:30 so I am really getting scared now. I hope they give me some good anxiety meds because it is going to be needed. I am so glad that we have gotten to talk and I really am so glad that we are friends. Thanks so much!! Let me know if you need my #s again for my cell and I can give you my hubby Doug's cell too. I can't wait to meet you in person. Your friend, Chris

Chris, I would LOVE to be your angel

!!! I have not been anyone's before so I am so honored. Either call me or send me an email before you go if you want. I am so glad that you are going to be having your surgery on Monday. This week went so darn fast. I pray that things will go GREAT for you on Monday. Stephanie

Topic: Anyone had a tummy tuck?

I just had a tummy tuck 3 weeks ago and am still pretty swollen. Dr. says that I am healing fine and that it just takes time. I can't get into any jeans yet were too big for me before the surgery. Any words of wisdom? Thanks, Sheila

Topic: Surgery in 2 days in Des Moines need an Angel!!

Hey there. I just wanted to say I am having surgery on Monday Aug. 27th at 10:30am at Mercy Capital with Dr. Smolik and am very excited and scared all at once. I have not received an Angel yet and was hoping someone who knows what is going on and has already had it done would want to be my angel? I hate to ask but with 2 days to go I really think I should have an angel. It would really make me feel better about it. Stephanie, if you read this it could be you!! You are a great person and I am so glad that you informed me of the situations that can come about even yrs later. I appreciate that. Take care and I will be back on Sunday before I go to bed and wake up to my new life! Thanks your friend, Chris

Topic: RE: JoDee! How are you doing??

Seriously? I mentioned to someone on the phone at Dr. Eibes office that I was going Sept 8...it's on the regular list of meetings, too. I'll have to double-check, but I'll be SO unhappy if I can't go until October!!!

I went to the meeting in August and I think the people who go to the September meeting are going to be stuffing bags for the walk. I don't think there is an actual meeting for September. You may want to check

Topic: Mercy Capital vitamin requirements

Hi there! I was wondering if anyone had the sheet/book/knowledge handy about how much in vitamins we are suppose to be taking. When I moved the last time I lost my book and I have been "winging it" but I want to make sure I am taking the right amount each day. Calcium Citrate - how many grams/mg per day Multi vitamin - iron - (B12 I do once a week and I remember that) Thank you!
