Topic: RE: Not Right ?

I can see why you are disgusted with everything you have really been through a lot having to have your port redone and all that.   Maybe you can get a ride with someone else that is going, I don't know if anyone from the Kearney group is going in the near future or not.
I had an appt with my Dr. in Omaha to get a fill but had to postpone the date by two weeks, it would have been the day before we go on vacation and I didn;t want to get the fill and have problems like I did once.  So I will go the day we get back.

I seem to have hit a plateau , but at least I am not gaining.  It is great wearing capris,,,,,it has been years since I wore anything like that.   I even went out and bought a new swimming suit.

I kind of hurt my hip a little a couple weeks ago, so any weight bearing exercise is out for now...no more taking walks.  I need to get to the YMCA and see wha****er exercise classes they have so I can do that.

I have been going to Kearney but the next two months I will be gone......my daughter is taking me to Washington DC and West Virginia via Amtrak.  And then in October we will go to AZ to see my husband's sister and hopefully over to Las Vegas for a day to see our foster son.
I might try the Grand Island group especially during the winter months.  I don't like driving after dark.......and after the last meeting it got dark before I got home.  I really like the Kearney group..........they are as friendly as the Central City group.

Just keep your chin up and stay motivated...........

Thanks Barb, How are ya do'en ? Well, I hope. I see you're going to a Support meeting in Kearney. That's good. I'm glad to see you going for support. Too bad I don't take my own advice .Huh ? I've been just discused with the whole thing right now. I'll get by though.  maybe when I go back to Dr. in Oct. The fill will be just the ticket.

Topic: Carpooling

Just a thought I had (Once in a blue moon I do come up with ideas) about the high cost of gas and the expense of getting to our Dr. appts. for those of us that live in the middle of Nebraska.

Maybe we could post on here when we are going to Ogalla, Omaha or Lincoln for fills....meetings, ....Dr. appts etc.

If we would carpool and split the cost of gas...........it would be savings for everyone plus good company.

I am going to the seminar in Lincoln in October.  I have a van that could accomadate 3 more people easily , it does have a bench seat in the back but........the leg room back there is not comfortable.

Anyway just a thought.

I guess I made everything .."Clear as mud". I Don't have the money to drive over 200 miles each week for a fill. If that is what you guys think..(that I just need more cc's..Then I guess I'll have to wait until the 1st Mon. in Oct. & keep my appt. with Holloway Thanks. Jill

Topic: RE: Dr. Forse
I'm sure that things will calm down eventually but if you can wait to go in that is probably the best...or at least make an appt for the future.  Despite all that people were still nice which is good.

Hi Jill, I agree with Jeannie. You need to come back and get filled again. I know it's a hassle but it will be worth it. It is nice to see you posting again. Mona

Oh, okay! Thank you for letting me know. I definitely want the DS, so I'll stick with Dr. Anthone.

Have a great night Linda!

Dr. W. has assisted most of the DS surgerys that Dr. A. has done in NE.  Dr. W. is only doing the gastric sleeve and lap band at this time.  Linda
