Topic: Honeys -- I'm home...
I had a great time in North Carolina -- too pooped to post... so I'll fill you guys in on the dirty details later! Suffice it to say, I made it back in one piece (and so did Helmut -- he called twice, once on the way, the second time once he arrived at the hotel). I miss his crazy ass already!
Love you guys!
Topic: RE: Xenical?
Hi Joni!
Oh, I tried Zenical years ago and it was horrible. If you take this drug, you better make sure you eat the right foods or you will be in a world of trouble. I ate a bad choice one time while on it, and I could not make it to the bathroom on time. Not pretty. Fortunately I was alone at the time and at home so no one ever had a clue. And Beth is right, you will have the nastiest poop in the world. Extremely greasy! (GROSS!!!) Not trying to be overly graphic here but there is no other way to decribe it. YUCK!!!! If you can take this medication and stay away from fatty foods I say try it but the one time you screw up just be prepared.
I don't know how much this stuff costs now but it was pretty darn expensive when I get it several several years ago. I was thinking it was like $80 for a 30 day supply (maybe more). My insurance company would not cover it back then and I don't know if they cover it now or not.

I'm not sure...I'd like to, but I need more info before I can make a decision. Is there anyone else from the Huntsville area that's coming besides Renee?

Oh, how wonderful! I am so happy that you are going to get to do this. You deserve it!
Sandy is right! Watch out for those sharks! I saw a thing where they were just right THERE and not very far out.
I wish I felt well enough and could get to Florida myself. Someday!
Have a wonderful time! Again, I am so happy you are getting to go!
Love,
Joni who is going to miss her Beth!
Topic: RE: Going to PC Beach
Last time I went to PC was 1978. My high school graduation present, just me and 3 other teenagers. It is a miracle we made it back home in one piece. But what FUN we had! HAVE FUN and watch out for the sharks. I think they had another attack this week, in waist deep waters this time. I LOVE the ocean, but Im not fond of sharks!
Have a wonderful and safe trip!

Topic: RE: Xenical?
Hey Joni....I took Xenical years ago. It does make you have diarrhea, greasy diarrhea too. I remember when I took it that the toilet looked like I had poured poo colored cooking oil into the toilet. I had to clean the toilet every other day because it looked like a grease heap. (Sorry to be so graphic but that is literally how it looked). My stomach hurt all the time and I felt nauseated. It DID NOT work for me and it was VERY EXPENSIVE. I have never took Meridia. I'm not trying to discourage you about either because I totally understand how you are feeling. I worked all weekend and I am dying. I had a patient I was caring for with a type infection that you have to dress out from head to toe in gown, mask, gloves, shoe covers...talk about sweating like a fat hog...I hated it...packing his wound I gave myself a sweat bath. I just know things have got to look up for us girl. I hope that you hear from Aetna soon. I am sending good thoughts your way. I love you Joni and you deserve this surgery. I will be there for you 100%. I just wish I lived closer so I could help you more....I would love to be closer and take you to Wal Mart and do things together.
Beth
P.S. Thanks for your thoughts and help with my daughter....everything is going to be just fine. Love ya!!!
