 Oops looks like I missed it. I have been so busy I have not been online in such a long time. I miss reading the posts and going to a support group. Hopefully I will be able to real soon. I really miss them.  I hope you all had a great time.

Topic: RE: Stomach pain
I would go see your doctor. Pain is not normal. It could be so many things. I would not want to guess.

Good luck.

Take care.

         


Topic: RE: surgerversary
Tomorrow Nov 18 is my 3 year sergerversary. I am doing pretty good. I lost 210 pounds total but now have put back on 35 pounds. I have had some health issues come up, anemic, low iron, low white count, low red count. I went thru 8 weeks of iron iv infusions, it brought up my iron level but I am still anemic and have a low white count. The doctor said he will recheck my blood in 3 months and if it is still the same he will do a bone marrow biopsy. I do not understand why the wait but oh well.

Other than that everything else is great.  

Have a great day and a Happy Thanksgiving. If you are having your surgery anytime soon good luck and I pray for a speedy recovery and an uneventful surgery.

         


Topic: RE: I had to put my Puppy down
I am also so very sorry for your loss. I am also an animal lover. I had my baby 15 years when I had to put her down. My baby slept with me she always curled up behind my knees. This may sound strange but sometimes when I am really sad she will come and visit me. The first time I felt it I jumped up out of bed turned on the lights and looked all around but there was nothing there. Then I got back in bed and I felt it again something jumped on my bed and walked across my legs and curled up behind my knees. I felt around and there was nothing there. So to this day I believe it was my baby visiting me.  Sending hugs to you. Sue

         


Topic: RE: support groups
I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any support groups in or around Amador County. I am in the beginning stages going in 3 weeks for the information seminar. I am doing everything I can to be ready for when I am a post-op. I also think that the support groups would be a good place to go and talk to people thta have already had the surgery.  So if you know of any in this area please let me know. Thank you in advance for any help. Sue

         


Topic: RE: Good Monday Morning Cali
Good morning Janine and Cali crew...... Happy memorial day!!!! I won't be doing much it is windy and cloudy here in Jackson and not too sure if it is going to rain again or not. I am praying for all our men and women in the armed forces where ever they are stationed. I am also praying for their families and friends. I am also praying for their safe return home to their loved ones who are waiting. May God bless every last one of them.  I watched a beautiful show last night on PBS I was so touched by it I could not stop crying.  My nephew was in Iraq twice came home this last time and was talking about going again and did not want his mom to know and now no one can find him. So I do not know if he did again or not. I hope everyone has a great day. Sue

Topic: RE: A Stormy TGIF!!!
OPPS my bad.....Well good morning again I did not see this thread I over looked it cause it did not say CALIF on it sorry so I satrted another one this morning. I know it is no big deal. Have a good one and a nice 3 or 4 day weekend. Sue

         


Topic: RE: Good Morning Cali
I can not believe the post was not started yet. Good Morning to Janine and all of Calif friends. Up here in Jackson it looks like it is going to rain. I am glad that it is not hot but it could be a little warmer. There are too many fires all over CA if this is an indication of what is to come we all better be careful this summer. I hope everyone has a great day today and enjoy your 3 ro 4 day weekends.

         


Topic: RE: Happy Thursday Cali

Good Morning Cali, Janine I will pray for a speedy recovery from the bite. They can be bad sometimes. It is a good thing that you are only taking the meds one week. My little brother was on it for a long time for his asthma and he gained alot of weight. But when they took him off of it his weight came back off. It is very windy up here in Jackson CA too. I do not like them it blows all the pollin around and is bad for my allergies. I have no plans for this weekend just stay home and go for my walks. I am so looking foward for this process to get started. I have 4 weeks till my informational meeting. I hate waiting but I know that is the process it all takes time. I hop everyone has a great day and hopefully the winds will leave soon. Congratulations to everyone for the losses. Sue

         


Topic: RE: Good Tuesday Morning Cal
Good afternoon Janine and Cali, I agree all the baby pic's are adorable. Sometimes when I see babies I wish I could have another one but I am actually glad that I can't. I am too old to start again. My youngest is turning 13 in 3 weeks and she is such a joy she told me when I lose the weight she wants to go shopping with me to pick out all my new clothes. She wants me to dress hip. I am ok with that she has good taste in clothes.   Janine I do not have my medical records yet I have to go there and fill out paperwork for them to order them for me So on Friday I will be in Roseville up by Sacramento and request them and it can take up to two weeks. But at least I will have them before I even got to the seminar. I am so glad it is cooler today. But I do not know how you can take the temps you get in So CA. Have a great afternoon and evening all.  Sue

         


Topic: RE: Good Monday Morning Cali
Good Morning Janine and all of Cali, I also tried to get on here last night and could not. It is a little cooler today here in Jackson. I am so glad. Janine your pool sure look inviting, and the little guy is so adorable. Not too much planned for today just calling the DR office to get a copy of my medical records just one more step in getting everything together so I am prepared. I am a type of person that has to have everything done in advance. I hope everyone has a great day and stays cool. Sue

         


Topic: RE: Good Sunday Morning Cali
TY Janine, wow someone knows where Jackson and Ione are. I am on here everyday. I have not posted before this cause you are all in southern CA and Iam way up here.  It is nice to feel welcome.

         


Topic: RE: Good Sunday Morning Cali
Good late morning to Cali, I am new to OH and I love it. I live in northern CA and it is too hot here too. I have scheduled my informational seminar for June 19, 2008, I am so excited about this. I have been reading the posts and learning alot.  I have been getting all the paperwork ready for the meeting. I will be contacting my old DR.s for my medical records. I do not know if I will have to do this 6mo Dr weight loss diet of not I hope not. I have over the years been with DR's for weight loss and non DR supervised weight loss efforts. So I am crossing my fingers I do not have to wait that long. Does anyone know if there is any support groups in my neck of the woods if not do you think I should start one. Anyway stay cool.
