It seem's like I have a million and one thing's to do tomorrow. Some friend's of mine are taking my daughter's car to change the oil, and the plug's and wires. Said they wanted to make sure everything was good before we leave for Jeff City, and of course before winter kicks in.  And then I'm off to get all the weekly shopping done that I put off today. (I'm not a big shopper) I'm so not looking forward to the cold that's sitting in tonight (thinking summer ended to soon). I'm such a spring and summer person. I love watching everything come back to life in the spring.  Jan... I'm so glad you had a good time at the meeting tonight, I can hardly wait until the 26th, I will also be bring a couple other girl's with me. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and getting to know them.

Morning everyone Guess everyone was super busy yesterday Jan!  I went to a support group  meeting too last night:  WLS Acheivers.  They meet in Fenton, MO.  It's a new group, just getting started - so come join us the 1st Monday of every month from 7-8:30 pm.  We'd love to have you!  It's an OH sponsored group.  Today I have computer work I need to do and my house that needs cleaning:  I can't do both.  The house has waited long enough, so I guess I'll clean the house.  Have a great day everyone. 

Hi Everyone! Just want to update on my grand daughter. She had a sonagram and they found she has six cysts in her right breast. The Dr. says she has fibrocystic (sp?) disease. It runs in my hubby's side of the family. Although we aren't happy about it, it was a relief. She has to change her diet to control how big they get and she is doing great, we are proud of her. She has cut out caffeine and sat. fats. The cysts are getting smaller. Thanks you for your prayers!!! We're off this morning to take the 7 year old grand daughter to Children's Mercy for a check up on her asthma. This is a special appointment, we may be able to cut her meds down some. There's always something.

Jan,
It was so good to see you and Sugar AND everyone at the Angels group last night. I love having more groups to choose from. I need all the support I can get.
Didn't sleep worth a darn last night - from 10:30 til 4:00 is all. I think we're ALL messed up by the time change. I remember my folks complaining about daylight savings time so much and I couldn't see what the big deal was. Now that I'm older I understand. I do love leaving for work with the sun higher in the sky.
Everyone here at work is complaining of upset stomach today - think we may be passing around a bug.
Adam and Stacy were in St. Louis yesterday for his follow up appointment at Shriner's. His short leg has caught up 1/2 inch since his surgery so it's now only 1" shorter. That means they are getting the desired result.
He goes back in three months to check again. Please remember him in prayers always. He's had lots of foot/leg problems in his 13 years.
So glad that Layla is on the losing side. I can hardly keep up with all the surgeries - in fact, I can't.
Gotta run - lots to do.
Hugs,
Lana

Hey OH Board, I decided to jump in and say hi. Yes,I've been busy . We're in the midst of refinancing our house and changing homeowners insurance,so I've been stuck in the house waiting for phone calls to answer questions or fax something. It's so nerve wracking (sp) sitting here just waiting. I'm so hoping we get off this ARM loan and to a fixed.Anyhow.... I'm getting a little on the nervous side not so much on the surgery, but on the "Am I taking the right vitamins?" "Am I gonna dump?"(My big fear)Can I get this schedule right? Can I swallow crushed pills? Just a lot of Can I's. I'm such a regimented person and I'm really organized, so I'm sure I'm gonna have schedules and pill cases at the ready and all.As far as what I can't eat anymore,I could care less about giving up my sodas,ice cream and chocolate. I'm so ready to be thinner and sick to death of food controlling me!! Anyways..I was going to go to the new meeting ,but it was way on the other side of Springfield,and since I live in Ozark and gas is ridiculous I couldn't go . Not with my gas hog truck. I'm gonna try to make one once in a while. I guess I'll go for now and talk at you all later. Take care and God Bless. Connie

Good morning OH friends!  It sure is cold outside today guess it's getting to be that time of the year soon we will see snow which I'm not looking forward to that.   I am getting so frustrated with my insurance company Humana Choice I still haven't heard anything from them and it's been a little over 2 weeks now going on 3.  I have left several messages for the bariatric team and I never get a call back.  I don't understand why they are dragging their feet on this it's crazy making.  If I don't get a call back by Thurs. I'm going to call and get the name of ther person in charge of the bariatric team and start bugging them daily.    I have been worried about my dad he has been having chest pains he went for a stress test and xrays yesterday but don't know the results yet. The Dr. gave him some nitro. pills to take.  I hope they figure this out soon so it can be corrected.   I have been having a lot of stomach issues over the past 4 days.  Every time I eat I get sick and have bad pains in my upper right side like under the breast it kind of feels like gallbladder pain but I know it's not that cause I don't have a gallbladder.  I don't know if it has something to do with the bile ducts or what but I feel terrible after eating.  This is not the first time this has happened either.  I have tried to take pepto bismol, rollaids and nothing seems to help.   Well, I better get some work done today.  I hope everyone is having a good day and staying warm?  God Bless.... Bev~

Hi MO board!  I hope everyone is doing good.   I am on my 6th day of not smoking, & I really want a cigarette....  I know, I am keeping my eyes on the Prize.  35 days until pre-op class then I'll have my surgery date...  So will Angela T.   So I am trying to hang on.   Really chilly here today, & supposed to be 24 tonight.  I love fall, & even winter.  I'm a CA transplant so I love  seeing the seasons change.  The only thing I really don't like is the humid summers, but at least there is AC.  I wonder if I'll feel differently after I lose weight.  I am always hot now.(and not in a good way).   Well have a good Day/night!
