Well I'm back from Preop/postop class!!!

Hi everybody... I met my Walkin Bud Kristen....Yeah.....we were both at the class today and it went really well....Kristen can tell ya, I was a bit nervous, I didn't know which end was up kinda thingie lol...but it was good...I'm feeling alot better now, I hope this weekend brings rest for me..this has been a rough week to get through....but I'm so READY.... Ter

i think we're all a little nervous and having difficulty. lol i think what i took from todays meeting was.. damn, am i glad that i use the internet and this website. i felt like some people just didn't have a clue as to what they were getting themselves into.. almost like they hadn't done that much research? i don't know.. maybe it's because i've lived and breathed this surgery for the last 3 years of my life that it's hard for me to remember that other people haven't! the class was really good. that PT guy was hot. I *loved* seeing him blush. LOL He can come get me out of bed any day, any time... hehe. now if i can just get my stress level down a notch. i feel like i'm being really snappy with people. i hate it, but i know it's because my hackles are up, so i'm trying to be nice. so bear with me, pleeeease! kristen

ps. i didn't lose ANY freaking weight!!!! ARGGGHHH. I've been SO good since I saw Dr. Roye on the 4th, and haven't lost a THING. How frustrating!! At least i know I've laid off the fats, so my liver shouldn't be quite so bad.. but still. wth? that's not cool. LOL Maybe it's because i was wearing my jacket... and shoes.. but hey.. at least i didn't GAIN any... right? lol ciao, kristen

Kris, lol...he was hot...you're too funny....He's married..LMao.....slow down girlie....remember the discussion about sex....don't get too flustered *L* I'm hoping that they do the lap on me...I lost 8 lbs I know its not the 10...but like Kelly (the nurse said) after that fleet cleansing thingie...the other 2 lbs will come off...Hmmmm I'm not looking forward to that one.....I'm glad I'll be sleeping when they do all that other stuff.....I'm giddy...damn...i'm shaking....but I'm excited...I wi**** was tomorrow.....i wi**** was already over.....I know I know...5 more days to go... have a great weekend...no chocolate bunnies.... Teri

i know, i know.. no chocolate bunnies. i think you're going to be fine come surgery day. 8 pounds is a lot and will have helped to shrink your liver [that's really what he's looking to do]. the smaller your liver is, the easier for him to maneuver the laproscopic tools around it. if he can't get around it easily, then he may not be able to bypass as much intestine, resulting in less malabsorption properties. 6 more days... can't believe it! i'm going nuts!!! 1 week from now, i'll be so drugged up i won't know my ass from my elbow. haha woohooo kristen

I am reading your messages and laughing my ass off...you guys had better keep us posted after you have your wls...Claudia H and I have a month of so to go so we will be looking for your posts regarding post op. mmm chocolate bunnies.....if you;re gonna have them, make sure they are of real good quality...dont want to gain lbs..on something cheap..

Carol, Where have you been? I'm so glad we are amusing you...lmao...its so much fun meeting people that we talk to on here...hopefully soon we can meet...Hey I know, I'll be at the hospital on Wednesday the 19th getting surgery....wanna get together? lol...Me and Kristen are gonna be walking buddies, she's going in for surgery the day after me... Good luck on your surgery too...I'll post and let you guys know the good and the bad....keeping fingers crossed that its all gonna be good! Ter

or your hackles!!

I'd say it's those darn "hackles" gettin' in the way, if you ask me. But what do I know? Perhaps hackles are weightless! ****I'm still looking for mine! Any help would be appreciated! RFLMAO! Love ya! Shel

Hey Kristen: Do you want to show me where these "hackles" are located? I'd like to steer clear of them, thank you. LOL. Shel
