NC CHAT ROOM--Diane

Hey Diane, I'm am so sorry I wasn't able to get in the chat room last night, things have been so hectic around here. I did get a call from the surgeons office yesterday evening, they received my info, and was suppose to call me back today, but i haven't heard from her. She said she may be able to get me in next week!!! YIPPPEEEEEE!!!! The psych. office called this morning, and they have mailed out their letter to the surgeon!!! YIPPPEEEEE!!!! It will probably be Monday night before I can get back in the chat. Anyway, everybody have a great weekend!! Barbara Huffman

Great news. Come back to the chat when you can. Diane

Hi Carol, Just wondering how your doing? I have just received word my surgeon has agreed to do the operation and went today for my pre-op blood work. Still don't have an exact date but I'd expect it to be sometime this summer. Did you have yours done at Fletcher Allen? I have Dr. Laurie Spaulding doing mine. She seems very good. Well I'm thinking about you and praying all went well. Herb Fisher

Ok Baby Girl. First you have to calm down and relax. Here is a little advice. Write out a list of the things you will need to get and check them off as you get them. I started some of my vit last week (1 month pre - op) so that I could get into the habit of taking them. I have been taking Biotin for months now as well as calcium. Just work on things a little by little. Wal-mart is a good place to start for vitamins - or you can look in the sales papers for good deals like buy on get one freee. As far as you diabetes meds if you are fasting you shouldn't need to take you meds anyway bacause you have no food for it to work on. Don't panic. You have made the best decison of your life. get that list and check twice ( or 3or 4 times) and ask around about what people thought were essential to preop and post - op and work on it. START NOW!!! Phenom - May 15th BABY!

Hi Leah! Lucky for you i'm a great hand holder and there there now'er! I'm May 18th so i'm in the same boat you are. I find it helpful to keep a journal so this way i know i'm doing things ok.

I'm finding night time very difficult to, a mix of excitement and fear. Please know that i'm here if you need me. Hugs, ANDI
