Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Hi all, I thought that I would let ya'll know that I am back in my hotel room after having my surgery yesterday. I had a lot of pain in my shoulder and did not walk like I should have, but the pain is getting better by the minute. There were two others having surgery yesterday. I did not meet one of them, but Crystal came to visit my room a couple of times. She was really doing great. I am amazed at her strength. Well, I'm going to rest a bit, but thanks for your prayers.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Hehehe! You hit the mother load, Becky! I'm from Alabama and I'm 3 months post op. There are several other people who just recently got approved. Stormy is one (she just had her surgery Friday). Dinah is going next week, and so's Vicky (and they are both from Alabama), then right after that will be Betsy (from Alabama). We're hoping BamaBabe Kristi Lent gets her insurance approval and will be going about the same time as Betsy. I'm in Brundidge, north of you about 3 hours, just between Montgomery and Dothan off 231. Anyway, we're the BAMABABES. Welcome aboard!! Kind regards, aktwins@... wrote: > > I am looking for anyone who is from Alabama who has had the surgery or > > planning to have the surgery.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Stormy, So glad to hear from you. I have been checking the posts to hear news of you or see you post. I'm glad everything went well and I hate you had the pain. Why didn't you walk? Did you have your surgery yesterday as planned? I hope you continue to feel better. We are leaving Monday am early so post when you can, so that I'll know you are ok. E-mail me your phone # and I'll call you when we arrive.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Hey , I like that... BamaBabes! I think I will adopt that as my new signoff! After surgery, anyway! Gosh I am really exhausted getting things ready to go. My meds take up a whole duffle bag! Hope we don't get pulled over by the highway patrol on the interstate. lol We may have to call you to come get us? I think I have all my paperwork lined up. Just still need to print a couple of maps before we leave. I'm also looking for a GNC in Durham to finish off my supplements. Being in Brundidge, you probably know what I am going thru trying to find those supplements. I still have to loacate the ZMA and the bran tablets. In light of what Dr. R posted today. What do we take in the place of the vioxx? Or do we just tuff it out til we get our little pump? lol You know the pain doesn't even scare me (And I'm a big chicken about pain.) But you know I always said if I could find a way to loose these pounds I would do it no matter what! That's why I was a sucker for the phen/fen! But then God dropped this surgery site location in my lap one day! Sounds like an answered prayer to me an I'm not that religious either. Ok Ok I'll hush. Just prattling, as my grandmother used to say. I wanted to thank you again for all you have done for me and others on this list. I'll contact ya'll via s' web-tv is guess. I can't seem to get mine to connect. Oh yes, if youhave the surgery dates for Vicki and Betsy would you please forward them. I've lost them in the shuffle.

If you are staying at Extended Stay, there's a GNC in South Square (or South Lake, whatever) Mall across the street. If you are staying at one of the hotels near the hospital, like the Holiday Inn Express, Comfort Inn, or Days Inn, there's a GNC at the North Lake (or North Square, I can't remember if it is lake or square, whatever!!!) Mall nearby. > Being in Brundidge, you probably know what I am going thru trying to find those > supplements.

Or do we just tuff it out til we get our little pump? lol I am clueless. I have *no* idea what you can take for pain now. This has been a problem for a lot of people who have a lot of joint and other pain before surgery. You may just have to tough it out -- but if you keep your mind on your trip to Durham, maybe it won't be so bad? Anyway, if it is terrible, you better ask the Doc what you can take, if anything. > > You know the pain doesn't even scare me (And I'm a big chicken about > pain.)

Just prattling, as my grandmother > used to say. Be careful what you ask for . . . lol!!! I don't have Vicky's date -- she got approved *instantly,* just like Stormy, because all the paperwork had already been covered with the reviewing doc, and she just sort of disappeared on me. I haven't heard from her! Betsy has to get her date from Dr. R. and also work it out with her work schedule and she hasn't got it yet, but probably sometime the end of this month. Kristi's paperwork is being evaluated by BCBS. They didn't let her go through in the pile of " expedited " ones, like yours, but the review process ought to be simpler now. We'll see how it works!
