Hi all, I don't post much but I read occasionally. I got my surgery date this week and I'm scheduled for June 22nd at Methodist Dallas with Dr. Malladi And looking at my signature, I need to update it. I'm a failed lap bander. Mine slipped above my diaphragm and caused a hiatial hernia which was repaired and band removed in 2012

When I started this whole process I ran into someone that told me to make sure that my paperwork gets to the "Care Coordination Department" @ UHC. I just called and they received it on Friday and it's in review status with the correct department. He said it can take up to 30 days but that it's usually quicker and that I should call back on Friday so see if it's been approved yet. UGH! I'm soooooo excited with visions of tiny Old Navy clothes dancing in my head!! LOL! I sure hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment

LOL haven't been yet. I think we are going next weekend. Last weekend was a big football game and this weekend is obviously Texas/OU weekend...no thanks, can't deal with those crowds LOL. Never been a big corny dog fan but just all the yummies in general are gonna get me in biiiig trouble.

I'm not really a Pack fan but my heart just breaks for Bret Farve. You can tell he's a truely awesome, down to earth guy who they've given a crap team to work with. On Monday Night Football they were talking about what all he's been through the last 18 months...his father passing, his brother in law passing, a week later finding out his wife has breast cancer. Talk about a sucky 2 years. I really hope think start looking up for him. I'd hate to see him retire on this ugly season....he's looking tired. *puts her Roy Williams jersey back on*....GO COWBOYS! lol

hmmm ok my yumm yumm list would be: 1. Josh Duhamel from the show Las Vegas 2. Shamar Moore (oh soooo completely edible!!, he makes me sweat!)- from Y&R Criminal Minds 3. Jason Taylor (Miami Dolphins) 4. Tommy Lee....less any infectious diseases LOL 5. Angelina Jolie ...love her

I like watching the Titans just cause I think Jeff Fisher is such a sexy lil' thang! LOL But of course being a Dallas gal it's still all about "The Boys".....altho I may be hiding my head in the sand after we play Phili next weenend *sigh*.

I, personally, LOVE this stuff...I think it comes in several "flavors"...get the mint. And DH loved the..ehem..taste as well. Put it on your girly bits and wait a minute and have him blow on it:guess .....woooooohoooooo!!!!!!:banana :banana

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!! signed....a disgruntled Cowboy fan. LOL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! I hope your special day brings you much happiness and something really super fantabulous!! You deserve a wonderful happy day! DH leaves his 20's behind tomorrow for the big 3-0....he's not coping well. LOL Of course it doesn't help when I tell him they are going to start sending him AARP catalogs teehee!

I'm having the same problem. I fell off the wagon and desperately need to get back on....I keep telling myself I can't have a baby w/all this extra weight so I have to lose it before I allow myself to get preggers and i'm ready now now now. I even bought a Pilates dvd about 4 weeks ago...it's still in the plastic wrap *sigh* YES! YES I AM!!!! Season opener is tonight and then Sunday....GO COWBOYS!!!!! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. When it starts getting colder, there's nothing like being curled up on the couch with a hot mug of apple cider, fireplace going and watching football! ACK! I love it!

I had my second fill of 1cc back on the 11th...she had to take out .4 leaving me w/1.6 total fill....man I'd be dying at 3.5 LOL. I've been able to eat bread since the surgery but last night that all may have ended....I took a few bites and it was all over, I had to get my whole dinner to-go, I couldn't take a single bite, it was miserable.

When were you banded? 5/9/05 What was your weight ON DAY OF SURGERY? 212 What is your weight now? 195 What size do you wear? some 14's are just right, some are too tight How tall are you? 5ft 3in

Wow someone on the south side LOL I'm in Midlothian. My husband graduated from Ferris, most of his family still lives there and his cousin is a police officer there

I had reflux about 6 days a week before the surgery. I was constantly taking Pepcid, my mom even gave me some of her Protonix.....I can gleefully report that since the day of surgery I have not had reflux a single time!!! That in itself is almost better than any amount of weight I've lost!!

Even if it is on the board, I'd print copies of it out just incase the magically "disappears".....What an evil witch! Good luck to you. I hope her sorry behind gets what she deserves.

Hi my name is Brandi and I'm an 80's hair-band junkie. LOL the first step is admitting it right? I actually have pour some sugar on me as my ring tone on my cell right now. haha! Sadly I rotate between that, Blondie- Heart of Glass & Cindy Lauper- Girls just wanna have fun...depending on my mood. Ok I'm going to go hang my head in embarrassment now LOL

This is today!

yay!! Congrats to you. How very exciting. I've been trying to get my hiney into gear to get this weight off because I want to start trying the begining of next year. I'm so excited for you!! Wishing you a very healthy, and easy pregnancy and delivery!

Awesome pics Lisa, y'all always look like ya have such a great time!

Congrats on your new band!!!! I was pretty sore for the first few days and on day 4 I drove for the first time and was like holy cow I didn't realize that you use them ab muscles when you're driving and man were they sore LOL. I did notice that during that first week when I walked that if felt like my insides were bouncing w/every step I took and when I was laying down on my side, it felt like all my innards had fallen over to the side i was laying on. It was an odd feeling indeed. Wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Everyone is looking wonderful. Great job Adam!!! Hope you and the kiddos...2-legged AND 4-legged Jet are doing well.

Lisa, you've done an awesome job on your weight loss! When I first joined this board you were the first person that stood out to me as always having something uplifting and funny to say. Good luck to ya. Keep on truckin' girl!!

*sigh* the skinner days...at about 175lbs

The fawn one is. She's what made me the crazy boxer lady I am today (I now volunteer with a local Boxer rescue). The other is part mutt, part sneeky neighbor dog as best as I can guess LOL. She showed up at dh's brother's house when she was about 2 months old (she's 1 now) and my FIL took her in and then he was unable to keep her so we took her in January...as you can see, they're best friends. The vet guess pug mix but I don't see it...she has the goofiest litte underbite though
