I met  my husband on July 15,1990. We were in Florida on vacation! (We r both Canadians!) I was 16 he was 17. We married on July 31 1999. We now have two beautiful kids! We r happy!

We had alot of break ups through the years....one month on one month off but we never let go of each other! It will be a long and windy road but if it's meant to be: it will be! I knew within two weeks of meeting him that he would be my hubby. It took him longer for he couldn't believe that i would be his first of everything!

Grumpy it seems like all is in place. That day you will see all the people that are involved in your surgery. It's called PRE-Operative Clinic in Montreal. Everyone will see you! Excluding the surgeon( ONE WEEK LATER LIKE YOU SAID). You may run into a resident though and he may answer a lot more questions for you. About the tests and having them repeated.....in Montreal you have a limit of three months. If your surgery date exceeds three months(from pre-op clinic to surgery date: someone will contact you and you'll have them redone probably the day before your surgery.) They need to compare results. The hospital will probably call you in and pre Admit you the day before the surgery. You said your appointment was in March....you'll probably be operated in April. 

Grumpy they won't cancell you if you don't lose 40 pounds...they want you to try...if you get 20 down good! Whatever you do will be good! They see that at least you are trying and want to change! I believe you can do this! You seem to be a very knowledgeable man. Hang in there and remember that you'll have good days and bad but stick to it! You can do this!

By the way...the wholes that you said(5) is Laproscopic Gastric Bypass. It is the least invasive way and yes they sometime have to open you....so many reasons for that! But keep positive! Keep your self strong. Let us know what happens!

CD...i know that you r passionate about this....buy please tell me you won't add all the cussing words with your poster! Make your poster reflect your values! Let it show your boss/manager that you r the professional here!

As a nurse...and a dam good one.....i'm so disappointed with the actions that you have described! I too have been stuck by two needles and a blade! I actually had to go on Aids prevention medication after having a patient's blood splash in my eyes......so i get it! Luckily i wasn't infected and all is good!

Doctors and nurses need to be more "clean". The problem is that they fail to do so because they are thinking of what they have to do next instead of what they r presently doing!

The part about using the same needle: If you don't remove the needle from the skin's entry point then it's o.k. to fish for veins! If you remove the needle from point one to point two then you need a  new needle! Needles r never shared from one person to another!( At least i hope not!)

Good luck and tell us what your final poster says and displays...

That's exactly what i've been going through! I started CC in January 2008 and i have 3 bruised areas on my face and chin! What the heck! I've lost 17 pounds since January but theses so called zits r really painful!

I'm 34 years old and have two kids! My diet is dairy free because i have an intolerance to MILK. I do drink soya and have lots of soya products. My diet has no nuts as my son has a peanut/nut allergy. I do have sunflower seed butter which replaces peanut butter for me on most days.

I really have no clue what theses under skin pimples r? Hope more people can have more opinions on this matter! Thanks in advance. maria.
