Boy, our messages continue to scoot way over to the side so I'm responding to one of your older ones. Today, Saturday, is fine. If you see a black RAV-4 parked there, that means I'm there. I'll try to be there before 4:00 pm. Love Diana

Hi Diana! I will be at the Church tomorrow about 3:30pm, we are breaking down the equipment to take to the Days Inn for Sunday. I can come over when we finish between 4-4:30. How is that time for you? Or yes, Monday would be good too, I can come early. Your Choice...

My boss just asked me to work on Tuesday.

Are you going to be at church on Monday? Maybe we can meet before or after since I'm off that day or even on the weekend as I don't have anything planned yet. Let me know. Love Diana

I figured that was it. Since I see a doctor that isn't in a Group Health facility, I don't get all of the services. Whoo hoo on your progress! Sounds like things are starting to come together for you. Sucks that you felt bad for a while but ya know, I think I can handle feeling yucky for a while to eventually feel AWESOME! I pretty much feel yucky most of the time now from the weight so I guess it is a fair trade. Thanks for getting back to me. Take Care, Lori

Yes, it's just e-mailing Harriet through the GHC Web site. You have to be fully registered on the site to access that feature, but it sounds like you are. It's more secure than regular e-mail, so there aren't any concerns about confidentiality. Anyway, about your other question...I'm doing great now. I did have some problems post-op with terrible nausea and had to go in a couple of times for endoscopies. I had a load of testing and was soooo weak for about 6 weeks. It was bad. I only got about 50 calories a day and even water wouldn't stay down. The good news is that I had GREAT care from Dr. Au, he was very concerned and receptive, and eventually the problem went away. I now get about 600 calories a day, which I hear is kinda low, but I still feel a bit ill when I eat certain foods. Each day is different - I feel great some days and others I just want broth and saltines. I haven't ever "dumped" which is great, but sometimes things just don't "sit" well. I've only just started to eat salads and be ok with those - that was very exciting! I missed salads so much. I feel great really - very excited about the changes in my body and attitude. I don't know what else to tell you! However, I'm more than happy to answer questions if you have them. I found OH after I had my surgery - man, I wish I'd known about it before! The info and support on this site is priceless! Tish 358/248/???
