Lap Band on 08/06/08

Topic: RE: Anyone from Beaufort, SC

I'm getting the lap band. I can't wait for it to happen either. I'm also nervous and excited. Nervous about the surgery but excited about all the good that can come from it. When I sat in the class I was the black lady in the 3rd row with the braids. If you don't remember me that's okay we can always meet again at the next session.

Wow Mary, That is awful. I read that and was praying for all of you. I have a 7 yr old little girl and could not image. I am glad she is in good spirits and will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

Lap Band on 08/12/08

Topic: RE: Anyone from Beaufort, SC

We probably saw each other.. I was in the back row on the far left side. My husband was with me. It was my first class also. I'll be having my first psych eval on Monday and 2nd one is on the 18th. Wi**** could be sooner but we are heading out of state on the 12th. Im nervous though! I shouldn't be as my mother kinda told me what is involved since she had lap band in 2005. Im so excited about meeting the dr. I don't know which ill be getting yet. I went with the band in mind but now i've kinda switched to the RNY. I figure i'll be able to talk to the dr about what would fit me best. Which are you getting?

Topic: THANKS TO EVERYONE

I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers for my granddaughter. She is in good spirits considering what she went through. Her mouth and leg look horrible and is still causing her a lot of pain, but she is taking it like a real trooper. She has a small dry wipe board that she keeps on the refridgerator and writes cute little notes to her daddy. Yesterday she had wrote, "Dear daddy, it's hard for me to say words with P's and B's with my mouth hurt ,so please forgive me when I am talking and you can't understand me, Love Cammy" She is 8 going on 30, lol. We found out that Greenville Memorial never reported it to DHEC or animal control, so that is why we never heard anything from them. My son called them and they came right out to his house and got the information and took pictures of her injuries and my son has to send them the pictures he took before her plastic surgery. They went to the neighbors house and took the dog from them and they have a court date Monday to determine whether they consider the dog vicious or not. Geez, what does it take to make that decision? Anyway, they should be responsible for her hospital bills and I hope my son doesn't have to get a lawyer to get everything paid for but I have the feeling it is going to come down to that. Again, thanks to everyone and I will keep you informed on what happens after Mondays court. Hugs! Mary

Lap Band on 08/06/08

Topic: RE: Anyone from Beaufort, SC

We probably met during that class. It was the first time I have ever been to his support groups. I'll be there on the 26th as well. So far I've had my appointments with the nutritionist, fitness, and my 1st psych eval. My second one is on Tuesday. I can't wait until I can meet with the doctor. Are you getting the lap band or the RNY?
