Jepegurl 23 Posted March 17, 2012 And it seems a lot of us are hairdressers or nurses. Next we will all be having bladder suspensions since we have to hold it all day too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashleysuzanne 1 Posted March 22, 2012 luck you. I'm not looking forward to this at all =( You will get through it! It'll probably help with the adjustment afterwards as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeinMD 9 Posted March 24, 2012 I have a date tonight. Nothing too exciting, someone I've seen before. Almost a year ago and things between us just faded away. I'm looking forward to catching up but really don't expect much more than that. Funny thing is you never know. I dated a lady a couple of time 6 years ago and it just faded. I ended up meeting someone else and getting married. Wife took off, I got divorced and ended up meeting up with the old friend and we are now going on 5 months together. You just never know.

MikeinMD 9 Posted March 24, 2012 I am another April person. Just got my date and I will be banded Monday April 16th. My doctor tld me I had to lose 30 - 50 pounds before he would operate on me and so far I have lost 66 but it seems like it is getting harder. My goal is 82 (want to be down to 400) before surgery and since I have to go on the liquid diet 2 weeks before I think I may make it. I will jump over and check out the other group.
