Quinn

Hey guys! I'm Quinn and I will be getting the lap band in July. I look forward to discussing the process with you all. I'm getting it done at BIDMC and everyone has been terrific. talk to you all soon!

I had to bump the thread. Lets talk about Lost people!!!!

awesome! aren't you so excited? i cant wait. we'll have to keep each other updated on our progress!! good luck!

Hey! I'm getting mine done in July by Dr. Schneider. So excited!!! Congrats on your weight loss.

Sounds good!! Kinda like 24. :confused:

Okay guys - - I'm asking all of your advice on this one. In your experiences - - what are the most important things I should purchase or have when I get out of surgery - - ex: heating pad..etc... Thank you so much!!! Quinn

PS - I would totally want Hurley as my bud too. He's so sweet and can say the funniest things.

HAHA! See sawyer - I'd just want as a buddy - especially after they went over his sexual history!!! haha! Dr. Jack Sheppard - yeah, most definately my ideal husband and I gotta say I find Desmond a cutie as well. I still believe that Locke is good. He could have hurt Jack but he didnt. I think he just does not want to leave the island - - if you were him - would you?? Plus, he believes in fate and that they have a purpose on the island. Thank god we agree that Juliet has gotta go!!!! I think Sun will have Jin's baby....come on....that would be totally cruel if it wasnt. Ben - its not looking to good for him right now. I think he was supposed to protect the island and he failed.....he got greedy and the power went to his head. I think there is more to it than just the "fertility situation" on the island for bringing Juliet on. I hope Desmond and Penny are able to be together but I think he is a very important person in all of this and will not be able to break free. I was thinking I could "fix" Jack and become his wife. :confused:

I'm new here but I think anyone who has or is going to get the lapband procedure understands the fear and depression dealing with weight gain. You have accomplished so much over the years. You should be proud of yourself. You have a great group of people around you supporting you and praying for you. I will also keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Even though we have never actually chatted - - I can completely understand the day to day struggle with weight and food. You deserve happiness and another chance with the lapband. BMI....SHBMI....this procedure should allow patients another chance if the lapband slips or leaks (which is not in your control). Insurance companies can be so infuriating. Again, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Quinn

UGH! I hate Mikheil.....he does appear to have nine lives! That screensaver sounds awesome....Hurley is so cute about them. When he explains the numbers to Jack.....it was so sweet...."I'm not crazy."

Sawyer is a very attractive man but Jack is pretty much the complete package for me. I absolutely love the man. He's attractive, smart, brave, and emotionally distant and complex. If I were kate....and I'd be pretty damn happy because she's beautiful.....I'd so pick Jack. As for Jacob - -I dont know. It would seem Jacob is Ben's prisoner...he doesn't want anyone ever to talk to him and remember what he said to Locke..."help me". I think Locke was meant to help the island be released of Ben's reign. But you know with Lost....As soon as you think you know....they totally throw a curveball. Okay - be honest - Do you like Juliet?? Yes, I feel sorry for her and she's a very smart woman but she is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cold and distant for my Jack. I didn't like how she was using him as much as she did. Jack would never do that to her. But she's probably better than Sarah - - brat!! I like him best with Kate though. I think Sawyer should be with Cassidy....especially when he finds out there is a baby on the way or possibly has been born!!

Thank you for the link. I'm so sorry! I didnt realize. Gas-X definately seems to be a universal answer

Metalband - I dont think you are stalking me! haha - Great minds think alike. I've never met a fan of Lost that I have not liked! I can see you are a diehard fan like myself. I didnt want charlie to die either. I wish Desmond could have saved him. I am so excited about the next season. It is going to be good!!! I think Matthew Fox did such a great job in the season finale. That performance was not easy and he did it brilliantly. I love all the Lost websites.....you can find yourself stay on them for hours reading about the island and the characters....it is all so interesting! I didnt hate season two...I just felt they wanted to keep interesting so they added these new characters but added too many and most were not that likeable. I really appreciate they immediately saw that it was NOT working and fixed it. But, yeah I liked season two - especially the jack-kate-sawyer situation. When it comes down to it Lost is just great freakin' television and I'm going to miss it incredibly when it leaves in 2010!! EdieParks - I know exactly what you mean!! My boyfriend said the same thing - - oh no, this looks like a "Quinn" show! haha When I first saw Hugo I was like..."great. another stereotypical overweight character" I love how he has held his own and been an important part of the group and never let anyone intimidate him. I was crying my eyes out when Libby died and he said..."I'm sorry I forgot the blankets..." Lets definately keep this Lost chat going! I can talk about it for hours and hours!!! What do you guys want to talk about first?

yay!!! lost fans!!! I totally agree...I watched season two but was disappointed. they totally made up for it on season three. You can rent season one and two at video stores if you need to catch up. I cannot wait until January for the next season!! The season finale was such a cliffhanger. EVEN MORE QUESTIONS NOW!!!!!!! Kate driving a volvo?? dont think so!! haha. I absolutely LOVE Jack. He needs to find happiness. I really like Jack and Kate together. Well, we definately have to discuss this more!! They kinda put Mr. Eko's storyline on the backburner. I think they saw it wasn't the most popular storyline. Whatever this island "monster" is, it appears to be able to read or sense the castaways memories and feelings....hence why they all start seeing things from their past...ex: jack's dad, kate's horse..... Charlie. He will be missed!! That was so sweet what he did - the list!! awwww!! Plus, i like desmond a lot. I really hope he gets to his penny!! alright, i'll shut up for now. So psyched to see other Lost fans!! Quinn

Also - - I have a question - - who was your surgeon? (if you feel comfortable saying...) Everyone at BIDMC has been amazing and I've been so impressed.

Dini - oh my gosh your surgery is so close!! i hope all goes well!

Thanks guys!!! I'm really excited about the surgery. Its comforting to know I have this forum to connect with others who I can ask questions or share their experiences with me. I will definately keep everyone informed of my progress and I know I'll have questions along the way. Talk to you guys soon!! Quinn

Hey guys! My name is Quinn and I'm getting my lapband surgery in July. I'm so excited. Everyone at BIDMC has been fantastic and I look forward to taking to you all!

thank you so much for sharing your experience! i will definately continue to post and find information on this site. i also look forward to share my journey with you guys. i'm really grateful we have this forum. its definately a life changing experience that needs support and communication with others who have done it. Metalband - i have so far been really impressed with them as well. They are great. I also have to get my gallbladder out before the surgery. Thank you for being honest. I have committed to this and want to know the truth as to what to expect. Quinn

Thank you guys so much! I'm trying to take in and research all information as possible. Its great to know there is support and information available out there. Could anyone discuss their initial recovery process post surgery? I'm committed and determined to make this weight loss tool and lifestyle change a success. I was looking for the heads up! Thank you all so much for making me feel so welcome. PS - METALBAND - I'd love to talk to you about your experience at BIDMC - I happen to be getting it done there as well!!!!
