I just saw the story on the news. So sad. My prayers are definately with the families who have lost a loved one.

What Lane Bryant was it? I live in the Chicago area and haven't heard anything about it.

Thank you all for replying. I too am in Chicago. I am going through the Kane Center in Elk Grove Village. Anyone else going through them? Good luck to you all!

Marijuana Use After Surgery
melbel replied to KBates's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is ridiculous. Speaking from a standpoint of a therapist - Given, I'm still in school, but It doesn't seem that you are really working on yourself if you need to use any type of addiction to help you through life - addictions do include food and marijuana. I don't want to sound goody-goody. I have definately had my time, however, I would hate to see someone's dream go down the toilet because they had to smoke a joint. -
I'm new... I've actually been on the site a lot lately, but wasn't sure when my surgery date was so I didn't want to post yet. Didn't want to jinx anything. My surgery date is February 20th. I was so excited on January 1st when I got approved from my insurance, but now I am just nervous as all get out after getting my surgery date. It doesn't seem like it is really gonna happen. Did anyone else feel like this? Anyways, I'm glad to be here and to have found a community of people who will understand what I am about to go through!!!

Is anyone successfully just exercising to DVDs at home?
melbel replied to Betsyjane's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I have actually found something that I love. I have not been banded yet, but found this and will use it after surgery. If anyone loves to dance and has playstation 2 - there is a "Dancing with the stars" dance game that comes with a mat that you step on to do the steps. It goes quit fast, is very fun, and makes me want to keep going because it is competative (you want to up your score). I have not been able to stop doing it. I actually sweat alot and have been very sore after doing it for an hour straight. Just thought I would let people know. I think they also have one for the Wii but not sure how it works.
