Topic: RE: Going to visit Sara Mac today
Sara is doing great. She was doing her exercises when I went to see her so we couldn't talk too much or to loud. Her mom and dad where there with her.
She was a little tired, but I think that was the pain meds more than anything. They did start her off with hourly pain med pumps, but changed it over to 15 mins when she was still a little uncomfortable.
She should be going on on time. So that's #2 checked off the surgery list!

I'm going to pop on over to Scripps-Mercy at lunch time and visit Sara Mac. I'll let you all know how she is doing when I get back to the office.

hi there K.....I'm on the same track as you so hopefully in October. I saw Taller on Aug 8, it will be interesting to see how the timing works for both of us. I think that Deb Howell is on our track, too. Stay in touch, lean when you need to:)Deanna
Topic: RE: Amazing difference
hi Deb...you and I both have Taller and saw the same people for the pre visits...do you have a surgery date yet? I am expecting a mid fall date but will know when I know.....ah that phone call that everyone talks about!!!! What do you think is up with that doc internist???He certainly has no "care" or "feeling" for patients.....oh well, I guess if he does the job to get us where we want to go then it is ok. Hope all is well...tata:)Deanna

Topic: RE: Amazing difference
yes mom, I will try and slow down...LOL 
Just kidding
It's hard not to just act normal, cuz I feel normal. I did have a small sense of dehydration tonight , so I skipped my night time walk and just focused on getting all my water in before bed.
I walked 15 min this morning, worked 8 hours, and went grocery shopping, and I still had energy. It's weird, my system just feels so unpolluted. I even wake up easier in the morning!
The first week after surgery, I misbehaved with the rules, I did feel a little tired and SUPER GRUMPY. Nothing amused me. Physically I felt fine to do stuff, but mentally I felt "blahhh". Not sure if it was from the surgery or my period (or both).
I am so thrilled I'm not the only one that opted for VSG...we can all swap tiny little peanut size stomach stories!

Interesting what you are saying about the internist. I also had a guy next to PB, Dr Kahlear.?something like that. Anyway he acted exactly like you said, like he didn't have time for me. Saw me for about 3 minutes and was gone. If I was paying him cash I would have grabbed his leg and made him spend a little more time with me. I have Dr Taller and he was terrific and took lots of time. I had the Psych in the old victorian. She was ok and yes I too was depressed. But then I have been on and off since I hit puberty so what's new. I promised her I would consider taking something if after the surgery I found I was having problems. I actually will do that if it happens but at this point I'd like to only be dealing with the vitams and protien we have to get down.
Sounds to me like somebody is pushing her very full envelope!!! You slow down and let the inside of you body heal TOO! No more lifting. Ok that's my sermon for the day and I will say that you are an inspiration!! I only hope I come through it as well as you are! Deb

YOU DID IT!
Good job staying down from the end of class weight. I think most of the rest of us gained! Once you have this surgery, it will literally start to fall off. And you've got the exercise part down, so it will be easier for you to recover after surgery. Have you given up soda yet??? I know you
diet coke....lol
It will be nice to have a month off, and kick back after surgery.

You are so normal. I think everyone gets some kind of presurgery jitters. You will get even more nervous when they put you on the operating table, but after that you're home free.
You deserve this! This is a happy time.

Well it's about fricken time woman!!!!!
Hehe, glad to finally see you on here, now we just need to round up the other wanderers!
October will be here in no time. I had my visit with the surgeon back on Jun 2nd (one of the first) and other than you and Marianne, I'm one of the last waiting on my surgery. Frustrating?? yes, but it is what it is. It will be almost a 3 month wait, but it went by pretty fast.
Glad to see you are alive and well!
