Dogs small one be the boss or be the worker

Darcy: Don't worry that movie thing is something I would have done. Your not a dork your a multi-tasker with a lot on her plate.. we would have laughed our butts off if that were my husband and I. Things like that keep marriages interesting. Tell him Happy Birthday from Vernon NJ Rita Ann:cool:

NJ Chick Hi nice to meet you, I take my youngest son to Hackensack, in the IMUS building, he has hearing issues and learning disablities. they are wonderful down there. state of the ART. you picked a great place to have your surgery. We aren't that far from each other either. Do you go to any support groups? I am. They are very informative. wish they had one up here, there's more of US then I ever thought. talk to you soon Rita-Ann

Ruthie: I guess I am a newbie too then, I am 5 wks out. I wore Jeans and high heeled shoes for the first time in years last night. I was feeling so good about myself. I was on cloud 9. My husband thought I looked HOT to. So that was even better. he said ever since the banding I have a different out look more positive and confidence. (SO GIRLS buy your self a little pair of black heels and let them work there magic!) wink-wink

Ruthie: not to sound stupid but what does DH stand for? and I am not working right now is there anything I can do to free up some time for you, or help you out with shopping? just let me know but in the mean time the power of prayer is wonderful so I will say a couple for you both Rita-Ann

:clap2: It's so nice to have local woman to be able to share with. I have very few people to chat about this with since I told only my husband, 2 brothers and my oldest son and my mom. I did't tell any friends or even my in-laws. I didn't want to hear the junk I know I would have gotten. I alomost can't wait for a fill. I feel as if I can eat "Normal" well. not like before, but alot more than I thought. I will talk to Dr. Abkin on the 28th and see what he says. I am also going to the support group they have at no charge to the patient on the 27th. Do any of you go to that? I'd think it's a great thing. keep in touch Ruthie and nice to meet you Rita-Ann Vernon, NJ:cool:
