Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hey, sweet, Alisa! Glad to hear things are going well. Yes, my back is doing well and YESSSSS my surgery is on track for May 20th. My pre-op tests are done! I tested positive for H. pylori so now I'm on 8 pills a day (6 antibiotics and 2 prevacids) - ick! Tomorrow is my pre-op appointment with the surgeon. To me, that will be the big *SIGN* that all is ready to go. Have my nutritional seminar on Saturday a.m....one-on-one with the nutritionist next Monday and then smooth sailing into my bowel prep two days before surgery. Tra la, tra la! Thanks for asking!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hey I don't mind every 3 months as long as everything stays the SAME. The insurance company is definitely getting a work out with me this year! I plan to start begging for plastics this week! I did get to work on my bedroom a bit, and have been doing bits and pieces this week. I am working on trimming the financial fat from my diet and it's not easy! But it's all a part of the " weight loss " issues. I never realized that having a cluttered home and life might also impede my weight loss efforts but now that I am seeing the forest for the trees...I can see the mental connection. Back to work!! > *** I have been AWOL for a few days--and am trying to play catch up > with posts but whew!** > > LOL I totally understand.

If you want boobie problems...I'll trade. Imagine being able to wear XL tops but having DDD boobs STILL, so that some of the XLs don't fit right? My shoulders and everywhere lese are smaller.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 You go Alisa! 50 miles... Next you will be doing an adventure race! LOL! I have total faith that you will be able to do it, though. You have such a good attitude! Cindi J __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 That's the bacteria that can cause ulcers. Just had the test for it Friday, because I have developed ulcers. YUCK! If you have it, they have antibiotics that kills it. Cindi J " Dorman, Ruth Ann " wrote: Hello... is H. pylori that tummy virus that they test for?
