I got one too! I actually have problems with reflux and mentioned it to the surgeon at my nitial consultation. He sent me for a GI and it was confirmed. So I will have it fixed at surgery. I also wonder if it will make recovery harder.

You will be in my prayers! I started a surgery day check-in thread in the Sept. forum. Don't forget to post!

You are gonna be this young , skinny, HEALTHY thing!:thumbup: I shopped the idea around like you just to get an initial response.:thumbup: My best friend of 20 years(since 10th grade) wasn't as excited for me as I needed her to be. This is a person that I have yo yo dieted with since college. We have both been larger and smaller TOGETHER. The Last couple of years I have been about 3 sizes larger.:smile: When I mentioned the lapband she was not responsive at all. I interpreted that to mean non supportive of my decision.:w00t: The funny thing is that she is on diet pills now and shares her weight loss victories with me. Now I am very encouraging of her even though I now know that diet pills are a vicious cycle.:frown: I have not told her that I am definitely getting the surgery (8 days, holla!) I will just show up one day at a girls night out and not be the fat friend!:frown: Now I will say that based on her lack of response or subject changing that she is not supportive. I have not in good faith tried to talk to her about how this makes me feel. I am just not willing to set myself up for disappointment.:tt2: Is it possible that by sister from another mister, my tight, my home girl is one of THOSE friends- Afraid that my surgery will mean that we won't have fat in common anymore?

Go gg its yo b-day!

Never mind. I did a search and found his post. Green, I ditto your response.

Oops! My bad.:smile: Potector must have deleted their post. Did I miss some good stuff?

OK I am gonna get corny here. Why not name your band after a famous band or band member? Mick Jagger Kiss Wham! Beetle(s) Twisted Sister (I like this one) I even like my band being my "rock star!"

Just pb him back up!

Hi ladies and welcome to the forum! I look forward to reading your posts and sharing in your weight loss journey.

So you are the one that found Waldo!:thumbdown:

Huh? Was that towards me?

Obama is our "Neil" to help us understand the "matrix". He is definitely the one that we have been waiting for. This may sound fanatical but I am not a fanatic. Right here and right now he is the best person for the job. McCain just doesn't get it.

IMHO McCain did Obama and Biden a favor. This woman is a big I also think that Clinton supporters should view this as a mockery. But to answer the question , America is ready for a female VP. If it is the right woman. I'll :Obama fist bump: to that any day!

Congratulations San! Keep us posted on your progress.

Hey San I was natural for many many years, I even had locks that came to the middle of my back. Try Sonya Tutuwan at Changes Salon and Spa if you want advice and upkeep on wearing your hair natural. The website is Changes Salon Spa and Wellness Center::: detection flash plugin

Hi I am from Bham . You should check out the Alabama forum on this site!

This is the case for so me too, except I don't care to see anyone that knew me "when". I don't care if I am dressed up or tore up from the floor up! But wait til I get my sexy back! I am gonna be all over the place!

great idea. We should do a surgery update thread. Every time that a samurai has surgery they should post to that thread.

You will be in my prayers. It's so weird that you have a Mon surgery. That's a holiday for us and everything is closed! you lucky lucky girl. Good luck!

Yettia, you and all the people in NOLA will be in my prayers. Keep us posted if you can over the weekend. I heard Sunday is the official evacuation day. God bless.

I remember you too! I remember thinking that you must work in the medical field and therefore very informed about about your surgery. I know about hiding out (black dress) I wear something black almost everyday. I will be banded 9/9 what about you? Dr. Schmtt is doing my surgery.
