I want a doggie footwarmer too..... If only I were home more...

Can't wait to meet you too!!! I am excited to see everyone tonight!!

I was told that if you slip you vomit, vomit and vomit. No matter how loose the band is... I was also told that since I have the new AP band, if I were to slip, the could go in, unsnap it and replace the stomach where it needs to go and re-put the band back on. For me that was reassuring that all my money wouldn't go to waste!

I have terrible knees and they did the same thing. Unfortunately, I have lost 70 pounds (only 20 more to go) and they still sound as bad as they did the day I was banded. I had some great joint pills, but now I can't swallow them. They just sit in my pouch!!! Maybe yours will be different???

Wish you could come Shelbi...:smile2:

Congrats Widow...I bet your SO excited!!!

Yay!!! I will be there tonight!! I may have a little Miss with me, but shes good. I am map questing it now!

Hi Disney~ Welcome and congrats on the new band!!! Sounds like your doing great!

Mini~ I am getting there...still super tired, but things are progressing. Although slowly!! Your nerves are normal...I had the same thought about my liver too and it was just fine!

Lap~ You look bea-u-tiful!!!!

Nah but I wish I was...I am baseballed out!!

Congrats Sidann!!! Your rockin' the band!!! Thanks for the other list Adorkable...let us know what the doc says. Dee~ "Someday YOUR prince will come..." It is so hard when you KNOW what you should be doing, but your heart is leaning the other way. Whoever sacks you up, is going to be the luckiest guy on earth! Ami~ I so want to try belly dancing...let me know how it goes! Mini~ Have you got butterflies yet??!?

Deb~ We went on a cruise about 18 months ago, and I was huge. The biggest that I have ever been. On that vacation, I vowed, that I would never, ever let myself feel that way on vacation again. That meant if I lost weight or not, I didn't want to feel that way. Needless to say, the next vacation we go on, will rock!!! The band is seriously going to be the BEST thing you have ever done!

Yay for you!!!

Down 2 pounds, I didn't weigh last week, so if you want to do 1 and 1 thats fine!
