YES that was me!!! :banana I'm SO glad you decided to visit this site! I haven't posted in quite a long time... life keeps me busy. :cross-eye And yes... I am taking a trip so I refuse to "fill" me to the rim right now. I should attend Dr. Jays meetings more then I would know alot more people but I don't I'm working on it though! Do you have anyone you talk to? I know there are not alot of men in the group so sometimes it might be intimidating... but I want you to know that you can feel free to ask me anything if you'd like... I'm kinda the rebble in the group :guess if I can't eat it... I will figure out a way how :bored I know... it's so wrong... I'm worken on that too :bored So how long have you been banded??? I'm glad you wrote me.... now you have me wanting to take time to check out what's been happening on here lately. It's not very often that I am ALONE.... and I am at the moment :banana :banana So I'm gonna go surf this site.... hope to talk to you soon!!!! Have a WONDERFUL day!!!!! Michelle~

Hi everyone! Michelle from Mesquite! Banded on March 26, 2004 by the ABSOLUTELY MOST WONDERFUL SWEETEST KINDEST ....kinda CUTE TOO DR. JAYSEELAN!!!! Love you Dr.Jay!!!

:D :D I think I'm still feeling the fuzzies. No one can knock me down now.... nope!

I don't know about many of you out there but I have not considered myself "beautiful" in a long time. But today I was at work riding in the back of a Constable's car (police car). I was not in trouble or anything like that , but for anyone who knows better, the back door only opens from the outside. Well the constable forgot to let me out at my office and I made a joke saying I would ride with him all day if he wanted me to. He apologized as he got out then opened my door for me and he resonded saying " I'm sorry, it's not every day I have a beautiful lady in the car" If I never thought I have lost much weight or walked more proudly or had a little more self confidence in my eyes.... it hit me straight in the heart today... and I felt beautiful too.... Not that weight measures beauty by far.... but for me, to hear that... feels amazing! I hope you all feel as beautiful as I do...because you most certainly are! Much success to you all!!

Like Vera, I too had heart burn ALL the time. My tums bottle was my best friend..took it everywhere with me. I also had an upper GI before surgery to see if I was ok. The test came out fine I guess, but after having the surgery in March, I think I have opened my tums bottle 2-3 times, popped one or two tums and then I was fine. Now when I feel like I'm going to have heart burn, it comes out a burp...not that awful feeling and I'm amazed. Everything happens for a reason though.... and I find your outlook amazing! :::::::::: HUGS AND LOVES::::::: Michelle~
