Hi Vonda,
I was at Christiana and had surgery the same day with Dr. Irgau. They are the best, and I feel like you. I'm trying to get my fluids in but it does seem hard. I have a little pain when I take a deep breath, but nothing that I can't handle.
I'm not really feeling that hungry either, but I did manage to get down maybe 4oz of the health wise chicken broth soup from Chrias. It didn't taste that bad and has 15 grams of protein.

I just wanted to know how long we need to sip. I gonna have to reread some info.

A new Weight loss support group has been formed via Facebook....it is the :

NJ WLS Group

We would like to welcome All members of OH - regardless of what type of surgery you have had or state you call home.

This is a secret facebook group - it will not show up in your Facebook profile and only Admins can invite members.

If you are interested please PM me with your FB info and I will send a FB friends request to you - once you accept it I will send the invite to you - we look forward to meeting everyone!

Good to hear things are going well.  I will look for you on FB :)

Take care,  Ellen

 Today I had my Psych Evaluation with Dr. Martin and everything went well.  She'll be sending Dr. Wynn and my PCP the clearance for surgery.  

And I got the results from my Endoscopy. Turns out I DON'T have H-pylori which is great, but I don't have clearance quite yet.  I need to go back in 6 weeks for a follow-up.  I'm not quite sure why.  When I spoke with the doctor's assistant over the phone, I couldn't quite understand what she was telling me because of her thick accent.  I plan on going into the office tomorrow to speak with her face to face to find out exactly what the problem is and why I need to go back in 6 weeks time.   

It is hard to believe that it is almost time, but it is.  Patrick is going to graduation with us and I know he will be the proud dad as well as John Janowski, they have both played an important part in Jonathan's life over the years.  I am sure you will see Jonathan up at the firehouse on his leave, it will be hard to keep him out of there I'm sure.  I hope he doesn't spend his entire time up there, he has a lot of people who want to see him.  I will post pictures as soon as I can.  If anyone has Facebook friend request me and you will see the pictures as soon as they are taken. 

3 weeks and counting.  YEAH!!!!!
