Topic: RE: New member - met with Dr. Pace today
Hi Jan,
I have surgery coming up on September. I have two kids 13 and 10 so the what ifs are big for me too but I combat them with the what if I don'ts such as my chances of being dead in 5 years are much much greater if I don't have this surgery than if I do. If I don't have this surgery I will become less and less active with my kids, etc. There is only one choice for me and I am doing it as much for my kids and I am for myself. I want to be a happy active mom and this is the only way I'm going to be able to get there.

Hey all,
A few of us (Tammy, Tina and I so far) are meeting up at the Starbucks in Chapters on Kenmount Road this Friday afternoon to meet in person. Anyone else want to come along and meet up? I'll be the one with the skinny chai latte. ;)
Cheers,
Jenn

Topic: RE: HELP !!! Does anyone else have trouble with fluid?
Oh Terrie, I feel for you! How about sending an email to Rhoda the dietician? I think her email is [email protected].
My only knowledge about fluid retention is that we just have to super-charge our water consumption (1 litre x each 50 lbs you weigh per day) and decrease our caffiene and sodium so stuff actually gets flushed through our systems.
Don't lose faith - it is a slow road.

Thanks Jenn - and everyone - thank you for the welcome! Your experiences and discussions have been a great help to me as I made my decision to try for the surgery. Jenn - I'd love to get together for a coffee - I was reading your thoughts about a support group and I would totally be on board for that. I am still waiting to hear on my testing and things but I am hopeful it will happen soon (or they will be hearing from me). I really look forward to getting to know everyone as I go through the process. I am very thankful they are finally offering this in NL. Jenn, I am so pleased to read of your success and your trials - it gives great insight into what we all have to look forward to. :)

Have you talked to you Dr. about actually putting you a diuretic?
