Topic: Daily Roll call!
Ok, so earlier we had a poster who suggested a daily roll call. Just a post to drop in and discuss what is going on in our little corner of the world.... so I thought I would give it a shot!
Hmm.. Ok.. So I am in Appleton, not too much going on today really. Ohhh I FINALLY broke my 3 week stall, and am down a total of 54 lbs. I was pretty excited about that. Tomorrow I go to my surgeons office for my first set of labs...and I'm sure when they weigh me I'll be sad again, only because the Dr's scale always seems to weigh a couple of pounds heavier. What a way to burst my bubble!!
I'm also waiting to hear on a promotion with in my company. There were approximately 5 people up for the promo......and I should hear something this next week or the begining of the week following that..... cross your fingers for me! (and that it includes a PHAT raise! LOL)

Woot woot! Thats exciting! The name of the test is the H pylori (ha... thats the name, but dunno if I spelled it right!) All you do for that test is blow into a bag, then drink something and blow into another bag.. THATS IT! You're all day testing is interesting. You will notice as you move from one station to another (lab, pulmonary, Dr.s office,) that you see the same people. These are people that are having their surgery the same day or around the same day as you. The afternoon consists of meeting with Dustin (the trainer) and with the bariatric coordinator and the dietician, Lori Knapp. The afternoon can get kina long, be sure to bring water!

Topic: RE: Ok... Whats going on here........
Great news Cindy! I am so glad you got approved! I am looking forward to hearing when your surgery will be.
I am guilty of not posting much on the WI board! I posted a few times, but, it was so quiet in here it seemed inactive. I hope we can change that.
I just started my 3 week liquid diet today. My first day went pretty well, I am not hungry, but, I did get dizzy this afternoon and had to lay down. I think it is because I am on so much medication. The doctor told me to eat a few crackers with my pills, but, I tried doing it without having the crackers. Will see how it goes tomorrow.
Topic: Got my date
Yep I got the call today from Dr Watsco's office and they set my surgery date for Aug 18th, I can't stop doing my happy dance. I go in next Thurs for a test looking for stomach ulcer, can't remember the name of it. Then in a couple more weeks I will have my all day testing done. I am just happy to have a date.

How great that you can work at your kids school! I often wished I could do that. I lived in Osh for 13 years.... sometimes I miss it...other times.. .not so much...there was never anything to do!! But when I was there I worked at Curwood/Bemis and lived on the north east side of town.

No, I don't work, I stay at home. During the school year, I work at my kids school as a lunch room supervisor although, and I volunteer at Aurora Medical Center, and a nursing home here in Oshkosh. The weather was great, I have been hating the humidity. Glad you had a good weekend.
