Going to OHSU Hospital for gall bladder surgery -- nearly 19 months after my DS. Check-in time is 9 AM. Dr. D will be performing the operation lap with a very small possibility of open.
Should be a far easier surgery than my DS.

Has not weighed myself since 1/2010. Letting my clothes gauge my progress instead.

I honestly can't think of anything bad about this surgery. There is no malabosoption like the RNY . You have a full functioning stomach, just not a very big one. I love it!
Hi everyone,
For those of you that were at our last meeting, here is the web site for the makeover site..........http://www0.weightmirror.com/weightmirror/
I'll let you play with it and let you think for yourselves how you like it. Thank you Jeanne for forwarding it.
I know it has come on fast but next meeting is already here. Wednesday, Dec. 2, 6pm. Hope we all know where now, we are in the Building D, across from the ER parking. It is fine to park in that parking or the garage. Hope everyone had a nice holiday.
Remember try to bring your favorite holiday recipe to share at the meeting.

I wonder what caused all these problems? Were you just not able to keep food down?
Brown cow brand, but I think it's so much better than that Carb master stuff.
