Welcome to the land of the banded. :Banane43: I am not out here much but my 2 year band birthday is coming up. WOW 2 years where does the time go. Dianne I hadn't seen the last picture. Did you post it on the other board? You know me I don't venture out much from there anymore. (No time) Well I just wanted to stop in and welcome everyone and hope to meet up soon. We are planning a "lap-band" family picnic in June. If you are interested let me know and once the details our our there for sure I will update you. It will be in the Charlotte/Concord area.

(Vickie hope you are doing good. Haven't heard much from you.) Join us at band2gether.net - we are still crazy and chatty as always.

I know my doc requires 2 weeks liquids after surgery. But the swelling should be going down by now. I have never heard of too much stomach in the ring. Sorry he is going through this...Hope it gets better soon.

A group of Charlotte girls are getting together. We would love to have you join us... Red Robin on Harris Blvd at 11:30 Hope to see you there. (Just in case we miss someone from the other site. We want to make sure everyone that wants to know knows. :thankyou: )

Angie - HEY GIRL!!!!! I am so happy you checked in. YEAH....Kathy sent us a message over there that ya'll had talked. Go to band2gether.net that is where you find us most of the time. So can you really make it at 11:30? Oh I would love for that to work out...I can't make any other time. I am sad but Kathy mentioned that you might be able to do it till 2:30 so please change the time so that you can go. It is A ok with me. I am so glad to hear from you...and of course Denika. Denika did you get my pm? We are at Disney on vacation...it's been wonderful here. We are going to magic kingdom today. I am excited...33 years and this is the first time I have ever gotten here.

I will admit I was a cheater also...I had a pack of tuna a couple of times. It was only 90 calories and it was good protien. Ssshhh don't tell the doc I work for him now. hehe It's ok but do really stick hard to it the last week. Every doc has their own protocol for their reasoning.

I don't have anything great to say but I am sorry!!! That is horrible. I too am scared of getting to 4cc's and not losing all my weight. UGH...Good Luck on your journey.

I haven't heard this before...it will be interesting to hear what the reason it.

I don't think I will be the next but I am getting closer this morning I was 223 - I think that puts me only 7 more pounds to get there. A few weeks and I will be there.

Hey Skyblu - I think the last time "the best me" called Dr Bauman they wouldn't give her a postive answer. She ended up using Dr Gonzolas. (I think that is name.) I am sure she will check in here soon. I will send her an email to let her know....she was banded in MX and lives in Charlotte. Keep us posted...Good Luck!!!

Welcome Sharon...and welcome back Tango I so hope I can meet up with them Sunday but I am not sure...I will be in Byron City/ Whiter this weekend visiting my SIL...We are celebrating birthday's Saturday night. Ya'll have fun...

The Charlotte are will be meeting on Oct 14th at Ruby Tuesday's on Arrowood. :hungry: We would love to have you join us....We had a great lunch today and had some newbies there which is great.

Ok just found this thread and let me say... My name is Kim and I love BB. I have watched it ever year and I just love it. :welldoneclap: I don't care who wins at this point....this one hasn't been my favorite but I still love it.

Congrats Kelli - How exciting for you. We just celebrated 7 years and I was big when we got married now that I have lost some weight I want to do it all over again...maybe one day. Please share pics when you have time...and no matter where you go for the honeymoon you will enjoy it.

Sounds like you all had great weekends. We left Friday morning and drove to W Va for a family reunion. It was cold and rainy all weekend. I was so happy to get home last night to the nice Carolina sky and the 80 degree temps. Today we didn't do a whole lot...washed clothes, worked on getting the pond in the back ready to fill, washed the cars, cleaned, had a family cook out, cooked white chicken chil for lunch this week. Now I am getting ready for bed after catching up on the LBT threads.

Ok so I have been going out and reading some post out here and I have missed a lot. Wow has it gotten ugly out there on the main boards. Just wanted to see if any else noticed it. I am so glad we all love each other in here. :welldoneclap:
