Dianne HELLO it's been almost a week where are you? Are you ok? I am worried.....

Angie girl that is great....I am hoping this next fill will be my magic one. But hey if it's not then it's ok..I think working at the office I am going to be prone to do better. Whatca think...Plus I will have to do good so I can get more people to get the band and out group will grow!!!! It's hard to believe that we have been meeting up for almost 9 months where does the time go. Oh here I thought of something...now that I feel bad about asking to change the date...could we do breakfast instead? Since in the university area...I could maybe meet ya'll for breakfast that morning...Thoughts?

Look aren't ya'll just so nice...Ok looking at the calendar I have open March 25th, April 22 (the saturday after Easter) Thoughts? If not keep it the 1rst and I will make sure to get there the next one. Oh went for a fill yesterday just to try and get it in on this insurance...well the port wouldn't co-operate. So I am going under fluro again...I thinks it cool to watch. I feel bad for Dr. V he gets discouraged..but it's all ok. Angie how is that fill working for you? Are you on real food yet? Melissa how is yours? Are you telling a difference? Anyone heard for Dianne? Where is everyone...it's been quite the last couple of days.

Alright I am making myself said....I can't make it to the lunch in April. Curtis birthday party is the the 1rst and for some reason I need to be there. haha.... If anyone one is up for changing let me know otherwise I will miss out the next one. Which makes me sad...since I will have alot to say about my new job. :think Oh the emotions.....

I thought about it...but I wasn't sure how her family wouldn't react...I didn't want to feel like I was getting the way. What do you think?

You look great!!!! You are such an inspiration.

Has anyone heard fron Jennifer?

I tried calling her cell phone today and couldn't get her....and no one answered at home. I will try again later!!!!

I accepted!!!! I start March 15th!!!! So all you Dr. V patients better watch out. I will be watching you. Just Kidding...I am sure I want have alot of time but please when your in the new office stop by and see me. I am so excited....Work want know until the 1rst and my last day will be the 14th...I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!

Paula that is great...he has to be very proud of his project. I know the extend lap band family is. :welldone2: Keep up the good work!!!!

Another one here.. starting 316.8 today 245. Banded June 13th 05, so that is around 71 pounds. I have a personal goal of 100 pounds in 1 year don't think I am going to hit but I am sure going to try.

I am so out of the loop here...I go to our local threads in NC and that is about where I stay now a days. I am sad you were leaving but happy you are staying. I haven't been here as long as you..heck I haven't even been here a year yet but I have seen a change just over the last month or two and that is why I don't venture out much. I have ready many of your post and even though we haven't met or spoke one on one your knowledge is "priceless" to me. Thanks.

Ya'll are so welcome - (my southern accent coming through.) :mad: I will let her know that you all wish her a speedy recovery. I did talk to her and she is doing good. She said it seems a little rougher this time, I think it's because she knows what to expect this time. She is such a trooper. Hope ya'll don't mind me jumping in....this thread is like home for me. Us NC girls like sticking together also. It's great to keep up w/ everyone. Maybe I will join in once or twice....hope you don't mind. :car:

Yeah Karen...I am just so excited for you!!! I have big smiles on my face for the NC group... I love this place!!!!!

Good Luck Jennifer. We will be thinking of you and your family. You will do great...Please don't feel left out..we may be expereince the same thing but we all have the same struggle. Our weight!!! So please don't leave us...you will just be skinny before the rest of is. :mad: So you will be able to tell us how Thin feels. haha.. Good Luck if you can have your hubby call someone to let us know you did ok. Don't forget I am 10 mins away from you if you need anything!!! If you family needs dinner I can bring it to them.

Ok just spoke w/ here and she hasn't seen any naked men this time. She was a little bummed about that. haha...really she is doing good. She said it seems to be a little rougher this time but I am sure knowing what to expect doesn't help. I don't think they have her on a lot of drugs time becuase she could actually talk to me. Gotta love her... She said to tell everyone hello!!!

Court that is great...I know that feels good. I need that kind of weight loss in a month. I am doing good to get 10 pounds gone in a month. I am suppose to getting a fill on the 16th but I might be working for him before then. Keep those fingers crossed ladies. Melissa - 800 seems really low. That is strange....I thought if your calories were too low you would loss. I know that is what happened to me. But everyone is different maybe your body needs less. Try out for a little and see how it goes. Kathy glad to hear your dad is doing ok. I know that's alot. Curtis turns 3 on March...I forgot our 2 were so close in age. I am going to call Dianne in a little bit to check on her..I will update everyone again. Karen let us know how that appt is today... I can't wait to hear. I am just so excited for you. Angie how is that fill going? Getting better? Ok don't want to jinx myself but I could be working for Dr. V soon. It went really well yesterday and I would actually be honored to work there. EVERYONE is great - need to ask a few more questions and it looks like it could work out. Keep me in those prayers and those fingers crossed. My foot is getting better. I need to stay off it but I can't. It's still swallon so I still have that pretty shoe on. If it would just go down so I could wear normal shoes.

Hey all - Just popping from NC to let you all know that Sunsett - Dianne is in recovery and doing good. Once I talk to her personally I will let you know. They were able to put the band where the old one came from and everything seems to be going good.

Melissa - girl post that pic from yesterday....wasn't you that had it on your camera?

Court - it was great to meet you. It is great to know people who are going through the same thing. We are so glad to have you part of banded family. I think we have the best group there is. (well in NC that is.) Denika - I am so very sorry. My best friend has a very rare kind of cancer, for the life of me right now I can't think of the name of it but it sounds very similar. I need to call her. At any rate she has been living w/ it for 8 yrs and while there have been alot of bad time the goods far out weigh them. Go you and your family are in prayer and will continue to be in my prayers. You are so right that everything is in Gods hands now and he will lead her and her body in the direction it needs to go in. You are our family so there is no getting rid of us. So once we meet it will be like meeting old friends. Starr - I soooo missed you. You are just a bright and shining "Star". Please don't stay away again so long please!!!!! We are all in this together. Angie - You go girl. Now if you are too tight if can lead to erison from what I have read so PLEASE be careful. Keep us posted on how those mushies go. Melissa - I asked Mike today if would come to a picnic w/ us girls and he said he would...so I say it should be a family event if we could do it. Our families support us w/ the band so why not bring them all together. Karah is great...She is so outgoing I hope Curtis is like that when he 6. He is already shy meeting new people unless they have kids with them. Go figure. Kathy & Dianne I hope all is well... We took Curtis to the movies today for the first time - that was fun. Mike and I liked the movie. Curtis said he did...he likes monkeys alot now. Well ya'll have a great night...Wish me luck tomorrow...I am excited but nervous I want it to work out but I am not going to think about it too much!!!!

It was great seeing everyone yesterday....I so love our time together. Went to the urgent care and my foot is badly sprung. I have one of those pretty shoes and crutches. Gotta love that. The made me feel really good: the dr said I am hardly ever wrong but radiology will read the x-ray monday just in case I missed something. Gee Thanks. I don't like women doctors. I know I am weird I just don't like them.....UGH!!!!! Ok so yesterday was spent laying on the couch w/ the foot up and hubby helping me. Boy that was nice....might have to do this again. NOT... Melissa you girls are just great....You know we should plan a picnic this summer out at a park. I know of a few really good ones near me but we could find something in the middle. Get all the families together. It would be fun. Thoughts???? Of course when it's warmer and it's nice out.... Ok so ya'll have a great rest of the weekend. We are taking Curtis to see Cuirous George today...he is excited he hasn't been to the movies before. We are getting ready to leave for the early service so we can get there early. Happy Sunday everyone...chat later. Oh Corut it was great to meet you hope we didn't scare you to bad!!! :confused:

Mark the date now for next month.... Saturday Feb 18th Time - 11:30 Where - Ruby Tuesdays (77 & Arrowood) What - A good time to have by all.... Hope you can make it this month for those who couldn't this past saturday...we had a good group and it was so nice to meet Jennifer.

Oh if Starr comes I might just fall over....I will believe it when I see it. Kathy we have your # so some will call you if you don't show up.... Not to much longer and we all be lauging and carrying on. Kathy +1, Melissa +2, Angie, Dianne, Karen, Court, Starr, Kim & Jennifer(maybe) So that will be a table for 11 plus 1 highchair.

Oh that is right...Dianne has surgery @ 7:30 and Karen gets to see him @ 4:15... He is just taking care of the girls on Tuesday. Way to go Karen....Keep us posted!!!!!

Court I am so excited...we will be waiting for you....take a look at the NC picture thread and you will see all our smiling faces!!! haha.
