    The Cammie who wrote me was very interested in a professional leading a group for us. I've told you guys about my connection right? The only problem with me going to ruby tuesdays is I love thier onion rings and if we go there i have to have a burger with the onions. Will that be alright with everybody? lol I could have something low fat.... I love Ruby Tuesdays I'm up for anywhere I just wish we didn't have to wait a month.

    I had gotten an email from Cammie, while I was away. I replyed but I'm not sure if she got it. When you talk to her please ask her. Also how do we do information like phone numbers and instant messanger names where the world won't see it?

    Howdy, August 27th? is that thed 27th were talking about? LOL Sounds good to me! I should know all types of resturants with working for the magazine, but this morning my brain is dead! 8146 S Tryon Street is at White Hall Commons. This is right off 485 and 77 There are also a bunch of other resturants around there. Then there is The Original Pancake House which has 2 locations 4736 Sharon Road 1300 South Blvd., Suite 5 Charlotte, North Carolina 28203 Charlotte 704-553-8364 704-372-7099 So it sounds like I'm the old lady of the group, 45, kids 21 and 19 married almost 24 yrs . I'm down in the dumps today!!! I hate this! I'm glad you all are doing good! Melissa I give you alot of credit for wanting to start a diet! I'm thinking more the exercise route right now. I guess I'm holding off for some stupid reason to wait and see what the insurance says. I had to go out to dinner last night to have another blomin onion! Bad attitude! Ok I'm ramblin. talk to ya all later today I'm sure!

    my appointment with Dr. V

    Hey Melissa, I can give you Debbie's information and you could probably have your phyc taken care of this week!.. She's great! Let me know if you want her info. So you don't obsess I was feeling bad because I really didn't think of it at all while I was gone! Which makes me wonder if I'm really ready? Is this normal, not to think about it alot and to be scared of getting sick to much and hating that I did it afterwards? Rambling time sorry, just nervous. Good luck with the new doo.

    my appointment with Dr. V

    Hi I'm back! Glad to hear you appointment went well Melissa. While I was away my husband took a message from Dr. V's office saying that everything was in! I'm not sure if they have sent everything to the insurance company yet or not. I hate to bother them, but I may call them or drop by this week and find out exactly what they said. Out of site out of mind. I havent really thought much about the surgery this week. I have been getting nervous about the thought of being sick alot. Is it horrible I want to die sick? Any plans on getting together? I have one person interested in joining a therapy support group with me, run by a counselor who has been there done that! Hey Melissa, did Dr.V give you a time frame for the date?
  11. How many different types of bands are there?
  12. You all sound like you had fun! I look forward to making the next meeting. I'm out of town this week heading to WVA for a mission trip. Lots of stair climbing!!! and walking! Do you all remember me telling you about Debbie, my theripist? She had her stomach stapled a while back. She chose that route for her because it was less intrusive that the RYN. So she lost very slowly..She is willing to lead a group for us, if you guys are interested. I love her and think she's the best! Let me know what you think. I hope your feeling better Kathy. I love the picture of all of you. I'm a picture nut! Talk to you all next weekend when I get back! AHHH I'm nervous and excited!
  13. Take pictures of your first meeting! It will be good to look back in a year! Or sooner!
  14. I hope you guys have a great time!! I'll miss you all. I'm out of town all of next week, thats why it's hard forme to get out. Oh I have my exercise thingy tomorrow at 2:30. That should be interesting. I've been in traction for months now. This is the last pre=op thing. hey do you like this weather!!!
  15. Way to go Angie!!! I'm sorry but I will not be able to make it on Friday. I was looking forward to meeting everyone, but I have to work. Next week I'm going on a mission trip so I have to work till the last minute most likely.

    mini by pass

    Thats what I heard also. Only about a half an hour for the surgery. Sounds to invasive for me I think.

    mini by pass

    I spoke with someone today who said she chose the mini by-pass over the lap band. Does anyone know anything about this? It sounds alot like the switch. She said it was the safest out there and had the best results. I'm sure everyone says that about which ever they choose. I was just hoping for some feed back. Thanks
  18. Glad to hear your doing so well! Congrats on the loss already!!! I would do better meeting in the evening, than the day time. But I'm new here so you guys decide and I'll do my best to come whenever. I would think, you'd need to take it easy for a little while Angie. Have a good weekend guys.

    What are the "slimes"?????

    Good advice! I will chew! I'm trying to remember now to start doing that! Doesn't sound like fun!

    mini by pass

    Yes I'm pretty sure thats what it is. The lady I spoke with said they took 6 feet on her intestants out. Sound to scary to me. How are you feeling? I see you just had your band. How long did you stay in the hospital? You must be so excited!! Feel good!

    What are the "slimes"?????

    LOL Thanks Annette. How long have you had the band? Are you thrilled with it? I am still probably 4 months away. My stuff hasn't even gone into the insurance company yet. I really am ok with waiting and preparing myself for this huge change. My husband and 2 or our friends are going on a last buffet cruise the middle of September. It sounds like it wll take that long to schedual my surgery anyway.

    mini by pass

    lol thanks Melissa!
  23. We just got back from Litchfield beach Saturday it was wonderful!!! Have a great time.
  24. Melissa, The worst part of it was waiting! I wanted something to relax with but they didn't give me anything until I was in the room. I was real nervous. I've had the other end done before, but I was more nervous this time. Within 5 minutes after I went int he treatment room they gave me the good stuff. It is amazing how fast that stuff works. The last thing I remember is they said they were going to spray a bad tasting medicine to numb things. The next thing I remember my husband was there. When I was leaving they said I was trying to talk alot!! I slept pretty much all day yesterday. My throat feels odd today not really sore though. I'm still sleepy but that could just be me. It really wasn't bad at all. The realization of actually doing this surgery hit me alittle more while I was waiting. I had to hold back the tears for a second. Kim, after you had all your info into Dr.V's how long did it take to get your date? I'm excited, scared, sad and happy!
  25. OK, do we have a time set yet? And are we meetng in Concord Mills? I hope she's doing well! I'm excited for her.
