Hump Day Coffee

Please have someone give us updates.....If you would like to have someone give me your address and you do not mind if I check up on you here is my email [email protected] I am in Wayne I am not far from you.

Good morning!  Had some toast with PB and am now having some coffee.  Dub and I are sick.  I started with the cold yesterday...stuffiness, cough and what not.  Dub had it by bedtime last night.  He woke up this morning with a full blown cough and runny nose.  I don't know how he wouldn't have gotten it from me!  So we're having a lazy day today, but I was planning on going out and running some errands...maybe later, after the rain.

QOTD:  Close the pool. Clear all the outdoor stuff off the deck.  Bring the snowblower to the front of the garage.  That's about it.  We usually have to winterize the boat, but we didn't even get it out this summer.  Travel trailer is already winterized from last year and has a brand new rv cover on it.  I detest winter, so I put everything off winter related...in denial.  I

Good morning all!

I was greated this morning with a pretty amazing WOW moment.  At 2 years post-op, I don't get those very often anymore.  One of my goals has been to look like a "normal" person when I'm in a photo of a group of people.  Not the fattest person, not the skinniest... just a normal weighted person who looks like every other normal weighted person.  This morning as I was looking at the weekend's photowalk pictures there was a group shot posted -- and I looked normal.  Just like everyone else. I wrote about it on my blog and over on the RNY Forum

QOTD - Well... I'll actually be pulling out all my summer stuff again in a couple weeks.  I haven't been wearing shorts and tanks for a couple months now, but with a 10 day trip to Florida coming up in 2 weeks, I'll need all my summer stuff.  When I return I'll pack that stuff up for the winter.  I still need to deal with the rest of the outdoor furniture and pots and will do that before I leave for vacation. 

Have a good day all!

I had a "moment" yesterday.....I went to the pharmacy to pick up something for me.  The pharmacist said (pointing to my name), how's she doing?  I said what?, she said how's she doing, I remember talking to her a year or so ago and she was considering gbs.  I laughed and said...ummmm I'm she!  You should have seen the look on her face, we both cracked up!  She was stunned and said she would have never guessed it was me....I kinda guessed that when she asked me how I was doing :).

Ooo... how cool is that?! 

After my sister had RNY, she and I were in Walmart shopping -- we both used to work there and we were chatting with one of our former co-workers.  Suddenly the lady said, "So how's your sister doing?".  My sister had lost 180 pounds and obviously was unrecognizable to our friend.  We all had a good laugh.

I had kind of a reverse WOW yesterday when DH said he is not looking forward to my revision because my "boobs are going to get small again".  Meaning, that when I first lost weight, they got smaller, but now that I've gained so much, they are back to pre-surgery size.  Ugh.  Not helping!

What the heck?!  How come I missed the news that you're having a revision?  When where how why...  where are the details on this, is there a thread I missed?

No, you didn't miss a thread.  I've been just mentioning it here and there.
I have an EGD tomorrow with Dr. Katz at St. John.  He's going to see what is going on, and confirm what we think is a stretched stoma/pouch.  If it is, then he's going to do a revision.
I have to go through the program almost like I'm having my RNY all over again....psych eval, stress test, PCP clearance, etc.

I will know more tomorrow after the test.  I didn't want to post too much about it until I know for sure it's going to happen.

Ok... glad I'm not that far out of the loop.  I know you've been through hell with all this crap, so I hope Dr. Katz can get things taken care of.

Just tell him he can buy you new "boobs"!!
