Sorry being a newbie,, what is a pb Julia? kudos on the weight loss...I currently weigh 260 and I am 5'7,,,anxiously awaiting that weight loss...my husband and I have talked about going to eroupe for five years and plan on this the end of sept...so hopefully I will a little lighter at that time!!! of course since then two of our trees fell over,,the washer is making a weird noise, my hubby fractured three of his toes and it goes on and on...why is that? like a strange murphy's law... My date for surgery is July 25th..two weeks before I am going on a low fat low cal diet suggested by a guy on a lapband site..I figure I can do it for two weeks...as for now I just ate taco bell...for breakfast...I know its strange but its like a fairwell:kiss2:and for once I just don't feel guilty:hungry: oh well if I can't be honest here where else can I be!?!? My surgeon is doc Lopez cordolla...if ya have heard bad things please whisper behind my back as I am nervous enough already! :faint: my co-worker went to him and is doing great so she sent me in that direction...as you can see I like these cartoony's never used them before...thanks to all for sending me Dr Halls numbers that's a relief to know someone to touch base with here...so to all you crazee AZ's STay cool in the monsoon...friggin humid eh??
