I love seeing your progress! You are amazing! Please keep sending those photos! Betty

Hi Terry! I also missed your smiling face. I am glad you came back and posted. That is awful someone would do that to you. Put it behind you, and just keep right on posting. Betty

Good Luck, and I will be watching for your post letting us know you are fine. Betty

Welcome! Lots of great support here. Betty

Glad to hear you are doing better. :mad: Betty

Please take tons of pictures at the Vegas bash. Since I can't be there, I sure would love to see them. Y'all are going to have a great time! Betty

I watched a medical show the other night that said exactly what you said Leatha. Some Doctors won't operate unless you have not smoked for a month. Betty

Dang, y'all crack me up! Penni you look fantasitc! You do have some boobs now! I love your fireplace too! Betty

Gez, I thought I was the only one having that problem with the posts! And, I thought I was the only one with a DH that acted that way! lol Betty

Sounds like a hot time in the old town that night! lol Betty:D

Hi Darcy! Just wondering where your cabin is? Is it on a lake? We use to fish a lot in WI when I was a young thing. Our family use to take vacations the town of Minong? I am not sure if I spelled it right or not. I love the scenery there. Yup, days are counting down, 12 to go! I can't wait! Have fun at the cabin and don't work too hard. Betty

It sounds like a lot of people can't eat eggs. I know bread is a bad one for some too. What are some of the other foods that bother you? I know everyone is different, but it would be fun to compare what food bothers the most people. Betty

Leatha - I love your new picture! Betty

Donali - That is looking great! You'll make it! I just can't wait to see the after pictures! Betty

I'm glad to hear you are o.k. It sure did a lot of damage while it was around. Hopefully that one will be the last one you have to worry about this year. Betty

Welcome Deb! Betty

I know a lot of the girls were concerned about getting PG after being banded, so I thought I would post that. I wish you luck in the future. Betty

Carnie Wilson is now eating for two. She had gastric bypass surgery in 1999 and she is now expecting her first child. This was in our paper this morning. Betty

Dancing and a fill, look out her she comes! lol Good luck with your fill Leatha. Betty

You will be fine. I remember my first plane trip and I was so nervous. I just couldn't believe the beautiful clouds I saw that day. Enjoy your ride, and you will be home before you know it. Betty

Did anyone see the Medical show on last night with the surgeons talking to the medical students from Washington? It was very interesting, and they showed an actual RYN surgery. They didn't recommend the Lap Band at all, they said they had to remove 20-30 percent of Lap Bands. They recommend RYN. After listening to this for a long time, I heard the reference to the first 100 patients that went through the Lap Band. They based all the information that they studied on that first 100. They also said people don't lose much weight with the Lap Band. I told my husband (who was now having doubts about my surgery) that this had to be an old study. At the very end, something was said about it being 2003. I know they have come along way since that first study. I just thought this was a very interesting show. After watching that show, you could never get me to do thr RYN! I just hope a lot of people that were watching that show didn't think that the studies shows the true facts of today's studies. Betty
