Topic: RE: Hi everyone
Nice to meet you Laura, and it looks like a little one on the way?

I am in the Franklin area.  I will be stopping by here often to check on things, let me know when the little one gets here.  My daughter is expecting her first.  I have two beautiful busy grandsons, ages 3 and 5... almost 4.  They are my oldest son's.  I love being a grandma.

I guess you have had your band adjusted for the pregnancy?  I know they can do that.  But I don't know much about the band.  I couldn't live with a band inside me forever and doing the adjustments so I didn't consider it as a solution for my weight.

I would love to hear more from you.  Talk to you later

Thank you Trina!

Unfortunately I had to reschedule my appointment last minute because my daughter became ill and needed to be seen at her doctor in Vanderbilt. It was rescheduled for April. I'm going to call every couple days though and see if they had a cancelation I can take. Thank you for your kind words. I'm trying to do what I can until I get to see Dr. Morton. My fiance and I joined the YMCA on Friday. I brought my gym clothes with me to work and will go straight there when I get off.

Hi Laura,

It is really good to see you. I remember you being here on the board often. Congrats on your precious bundle of joy.

Contacting your WLS center and making an appoint to see them is an awesome move.. The best you can make as far as I am concerned.

We are here for you sweetie. Please let us know how the dr. appt. went… We are cheering for you

As a side note… Laura, Please do not be mad at yourself. When I look back at what was or might have been, I become ineffective. I get bogged down in unresolved guilt and anger.. So the first thing I (Trina) has to do is get rid of the baggage of condemnation. Oh my when I get rid of that heavy load my journey becomes so much lighter.

Hi BigPapiMphs.. Congrats on your surgery date… March 28th will be here before you know it.

What is a “liver shrink diet"?

Going through all the information provided to me by my weight loss surgery center I can not find any document labeled with that heading “Liver Shrink Diet“… What is that?

Your medical team wants to make sure you are ready for surgery, and your blood test results will tell them a lot about your body and your medical condition. This will also give your medical team a huge insight into your liver function…

Your current liver function may not be the same as mine….

I am with Pam Davis…. What guidelines did your surgeon give to you? Considering your condition is unique from mine?

Topic: Hi everyone
I just found the TN forum... I am excited that I can now post with ppl near by.  I see that this site doesn't get much activity.  Maybe there are lots of others out there that have not discovered the State forums yet.  I hope more of you will start using the TN forum.   I would love to see this a busy place.

From now on when I post on the VSG site I will repost here too.

Give me a shout sometime....
