  Glad that your voice is so much better     cleaning house    wow do I ever need to do that..
  my tooth is all gone    no pain at all  I was surprised  but it did bleed  until past midnight  I tink the heat had alot to do with that....  I am so glad to get it out of there...
 Oh I tried the carmel in a drink earlier with peanut buter  and ohhhh my  is it ever good     again THANK YOU so much 
 I need so  to get up and turn my light on I keep making boobooos  but I guess i  am lazy   teeheee  have a nice weekend
  and FYI    the fill on Tuesday   may be the one  I tried last night to eat a small dowl of cottage cheese and cantalope and couldnt eat half of it   so it was breakfast as well and for supper I tried to eat a large jar of baby food   and that filled me up  soo  maybe  and  at lunch I  was being bad  I ordered a cheese burger and fries  had to try  but  I ate maybe 2 bites and my husband got it  he wasnt the least bit unhappy with that       ok have a great weekend  

Actually I realized last week that my location still said Youngstown OH.  I'm not super active in posting but read everyday.  I have very slow dial up at home. 

I'm doing well.  Recovering from internal hernia surgery.  Had my two week follow-up today.  Doctor said I should be good to go now and hopefully won't have more complication when we try for #2.

I went to UPMC for a consult with Dr. Rubin about having a body lift when I have my gall bladder removed. He did find a hernia as well that will need to be repaired. I was really impressed with the procedure as he explained it would solve the extra skin on my thighs, buttocks, hips and tummy with one surgery. My insurance will cover the cost of repairing the hernia and removal of the gall bladder BUT NOT THE BODY LIFTI don't have enough skin to qualify.  He gave me a quote for the body lift but I don't know if this is a good price or not...$15,338?? It surprises that it cost that much when I will already be in the operation room and already under for the other surgeries. His quote gives the surgeon fee, room fee and anesthesia fee. Does anyone know if this is common practice? Are there any good plastic surgeons in WV?   I have to paid up front in full before he will do the surgery too. btw, Dr. Rubin told me that I should not use a general surgeon to remove the gall bladder, but one that practices bariatric surgery because they are familiar with our plumbing. If anyone has advice for me in area please write to me privately.
Thanks
