It was probably a good thing I didn't have a fill. I had a migraine so bad yesterday that I threw-up twice. That would have not been a good thing. I went to the ER and got a shot and feel much better. A little groggy today, but that'll only last a few hours. I am so ready for spring break next week. I really need a break.

Sorry to hear about your surgery coming up. I wish you a speedy recovery and then you can get that fill and hopefully feel a little restriction! Feel free to complain, that's what this board is for!
Take care,

I was supposed to have my first fill yesterday. I didn't get it because I'm having surgery for endometriosis on Monday. She said they normally take out 2-3 cc when someone has surgery and that's all they were going to put in so I have to wait another week. I don't want to have the surgery anyway and now this. It really upsets me. I gained 3 pounds and will probably gain another pound this week. It's really sucks, but there's nothing I can do but live with it. I'll stop complaining now.

Topic: RE: New Clothes
Carol,
I think they have in the past, but I dont know how often they do them. I would email Chris and see if its early enough they can plan for it for the next meeting, or bring it up at the next meeting and see if anyone is interested in doing it. :)
Sounds like a good idea to me!

Topic: New Clothes
Had to go buy new clothes this weekend because the old ones don't fit anymore. One of my co-workers told me on Friday that my pants were big and baggy. :-) So, I decided I needed to get new ones and did so this weekend. I went to three second hand stores and found one pair of pants that don't quite fit but will soon. Guess this is going to be the event that happens every month, huh? Good problem to have though.
Does anyone know if UIHC does a clothing exchange at their support groups? I can give them to a second hand store but thought if someone who is rapidly losing weight as I am could use them, I would pass them on.
Thanks,
Carol

Jenn -
That's great news about it not starting until Friday. Count me in on caravaning or car pooling with you. I was concerned that I'd be coming in LATE on Thursday and wouldnt' be able to go with you. But if you aren't leaving until Friday I should be able to get to IA city and meet up with you from there.
