Our flight leaves December 31st. We leave Texas December 23rd to see my in-laws for a week, then on to Hawaii. We are saving about $30,000 before we go so we have time to find jobs and figure out where we want to live. Depends on the job situation I guess. My husband is a warehouse manager for 20 years and I am on real estate, loan servicing/teller or child care. I have a few things to fall back on. I was hoping to get on with the city. Maybe the tax office. Thanks for the welcome! Deanna

I see I am not alone in the plateau boat. Whew...lol I have been on the longest plateau. I was banded 7/11/06 and have lost 50 pounds. Sounds great, but it was all the first few months and nothing in about 8 months. I started at 235, and I have been at 186 to 184 since then. In the last month I have hhit 181 2 times, but a few days later back up to 185. UGH.... I have had about 8 fills, and seems that I have restriction for about 2 weeks then feels the same as before. I know my port is partially flipped (x-rayed in Mexico when my husband had his band placed) but my doctor has been able to work with it so I do not need surgery yet. But anyway, I meant to post a "greetings" post to get to know everyone as my husband and I are moving to Hawaii December 31st to be exact. We are selling everythign and downgrading to a small apartment to save money til then. We are so excited to be joing all of you! :biggrin2: When I saw all the plateau posts I had to chime in. Hope everyone is having a beautiful Sunday! Deanna

Today is the 2 week mark. I just got my bandages off last night and I can say I am not sore finally. Small victories!! Good luck to all having the surgery this week. My thoughts are with you. I was really nervous going in, but so glad I made that choice. Deanna

I was banded 7/11/06 in Dallas, Texas with Dr. Fox. Awesome so far. 7/3/06 235 7/24/06 216 Deanna
