Where's my brain tonight. Of course you're all done. Khalili doesn't put it in unless all is done. So, you're just a few weeks away now!

Let me know when..............

If you cook scrambled eggs on a very low heat (any protein for that matter), they will not be rubbery. I am able to eat scrambled eggs with no problem, but I definitely cook them VERY SLOWLY!!!

Hope this helps!!

I"m going to try that. Thanks. I'm also going to go back on Previcid. I thought maybe I could stop after the surgery, but probably not this soon. The heaviness in my chest and burn are worse and so's the burping. Could be heartburn and acid. Why be miserable. I'll go back on for a few days and if I'm better, there's the answer.

Hey look, if this old broad over here (I'm 56) can go through this, you're a shoo-in for success! I'm so excited for you. You're going to be so happy.

Listen I am not fully back to myself but that's age and the fact that I have a dicey stomach at best. But I wouldn't change it for the world. This board has been the best - I come here with every ache, pain and burp and someone answers and I find out others have the same. It's great.

I'm down 31.5 today! Now I'm afraid they won't give me the first fill because I still can't eat alot at a time. I'll know when I go tomorrow. I have a list of questions and issues I'm taking along and I warned the office that I'm not leaving until all my issues are resolved. They laughed.

Just remember, every question you have and every feeling, needs to be addressed. This is your time, baby- take it to be good to yourself. Khalili is the best- so use that.

I'm sooooooo excited for you. And my offer still holds. If you need the support, let me know.

Gwenn

Now I'm going to make you laugh. You've GOT to go over to the funniest thread
Under the Main LAP-BAND^® Forum to to "General LAP-BAND^® Surgery Discussion". The thread is called
"You know you're a bandster when" and there's hilarious answers. I made some up! It will make you smile.

Tomorrow is my first fill! Looking forward to asking a bunch of questions including.....when I can I have sex again?
