Wow. Haha how cool would it be to go to a Wendy? Sorry. I'm easily amused since I don't often meet people with my same name

Yay! I was actually surprised but he was voted off tonight and I actually hollered in celebration LOL I would not have been alone in being PO'd if Lakisha had gone home from one bad performance. (And... it was pretty bad... for her if nothing else!)

Yay! I was so jazzed and proud of America *sniff* when it was announced! I'm such an Idol Addict. Seriously. The phone rng when they came back to announce to person going home and I screamed. I also ignored it. My boyfriend was watching too and laughed because I hid the phone under me so it wouldn't interrupt my Idol! He picked it up after the winner, called the guy back, and said that he couldn't get the phone because I was too busy watching something on TV. At that point I shouted to the guy "Nobody messes with me watching Idol!" I'm such a dork LOL

Oooh I'll be watching this one, I was wondering the same thing. I think I saw a bandster in the photos page who said something like "Not bad for never getting a fill!" but i have no idea who it was!

TOM, Happy Birthday and I want you to know that while I haven't done any previous posting in this thread, I've followed it and you and your wife are in my prayers. I hope that you can enjoy at least part of the day and know that even if she's depressed, your wife has one heck of a rock in you. Love, Wendy

Part of me has a theory that American Idol has lost its appeal and is keeping Sanjaya around for controversy, purely to encourage viewers to tune in to see if the fairy boy gets voted off each week. And that same part of me thinks this is the last year and they're going to have Sanjaya win for giggles and grins. But you can always look back at the past where the runners-up have better success than the winners! That having been said, I'm rooting for Jordin. She's from my home state And she's really grown and improved over the last several weeks. I get goosebumps listening to her. And I'm ashamed to admit I was impressed with Sanjaya's Besame Mucho. :kiss

I just got back from a business trip and I was terrified. Out of my 4 flights, 3 of them I was sitting next to someone, and thankfully they were of average size. They, of course, didn't say if it bothered them that my butt was blubbing out below the arm rest. I had an aisle seat and while it was more roomy, people kept bumping into me, and the stewardesses were no exception. They also did not apologize. Oh well, at least I didn't have to buy another seat! :-o I flew Northwest, btw. Size 26, and the belts JUST fit. So how did it go, Turner24?

My name is Wendy, I live in Arizona, I'm 24 years old and just looking into LapBand. I decided to come here because what better way to get a real hold on what happens than talking to people who've done it themselves, not getting a sales pitch from people who stand to benefit from me choosing to do it. A little bit about me: I've been (told I was) overweight since I was 7 when I was dealing with depression. Looking back pn photos I was a little flubby but nothing like my dad and grandmother made me feel like. I've had skewed body perception since that time. When I was 13 I weighed 165 or so, and was in a size 12. I was still the fat girl at school but gosh, I'd kill to be 165 again! My dad made it very clear from a young age that starving oneself is a good thing, and is to be encouraged. I rebelled by eating. Now I find myself at 275.8 at today's weigh in and wishing I would have just listened. When I was 14, I met the love of my life (still with him!) and he made me feel like I was a princess and sure, I was overweight but I wasn't fat, i was beautiful and special. I thank god for Chris every day, but I also kick myself because with that praise came comfort, and with that comfort came 100 lbs since I met him. For a while I was looking into Gastric Bypass but at the time, I wasn't heavy enough to do it (I weighed 228 at 5'7") and I kick myself because I was convinced I should gain some to qualify. Now here I am, over 45 lbs higher and now that I qualify, I've chickened out of it. It's too drastic. Then I heard about LapBand and was curious. Now I want to learn more and find out if my insurance will cover it. I'm sure I'll have loads of questions, so I hope nobody gets sick of me! Brightest Blessings, Wendy Well,
