Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 First of all...relax. Second is try taking some PMS meds like pamprin that say it helps bloating. Third...just tell them. If it puts you over by only 1-2 pounds, they should consider that. Otherwise, try to lose an extra few ounces between now and then. You should be fine.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thank you ! I knew you and Donna would come to my rescue! It is just so close now, I would hate to have to wait again just because of TOM! I had to wait more than 2 weeks just to get this appt!!!

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Barbara, I can certainly relate. Everytime I had to weigh in for apts., I was always...ALWAYS on my cycle and it would be like the first or second day. I felt like I was being ambushed or something. I did have one incident where I went in for my case management apt (KP Richmond) and then later was suppose to be my pre-op calls (same day) and I weighed in two pounds over (don't get worried though). The case manager canceled her apt. but I was still allowed to go to the pre-op class. This was on a Thursday. I asked to come back on Monday and weigh and they said yes and when I did I weighed 7 pounds lighter. So if that happens, if you can, come back and weigh in. I really watched my sodium and eat protein and water and worked out (walked 3 miles a day which was as much as I could do with time constraints, etc.). So these situations do have happy endings. I am praying for you. Take care.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks Pam. My first few appts were all at that TOM, including my orientation so it wasn't that big of a deal. But now, with this one, I am so worried I will be over. I have already done my pre-op class and my EKG, so I don't have much more to do other than this appt.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Barbara, I think that you will be fine and I do understand you because as you read, I was in your same boat. You will be fine...hang in there and keep us posted. Pam Marsh --- " Hokoana, Barbara " bhokoana@...> wrote: > Thanks Pam.
