Hi Kim,

Sorry...I have been obsessing with all of the complication threads and haven't gotten back to this on in a while.

My step sister that lives in San Diego is meeting me at the airport and coming in with me. I had been pretty good with the diet until the day before Halloween when I got candy for the kids. I should have stuck to getting the kind I hate instead I got butterfingers and reeses.ughhhhh. I have gained back 4 of the 14 I had lost! I will she you on the 3rd

Hi Melissa,

We are both being banded by Dr. Ortiz on the 3rd. Why the reband?

No, we haven't.... I wonder if the glitch in the site deterred anyone. Hopefully they will be posting soon!

Grace, how are you doing since the tragic loss of your priest? I hope you are being comforted.... That was a terrible accident. I am so sorry...

Jess,

I will let you know..we can form a group so far we are three in this area. We could meet in the Sonoma area-sort of half way!

I just got back from the Vitamin Shoppe...I tried the Isopure clear protein.. :) :faint: I thought I as going to you know....it was horrible! I bought 2 little containers of the whey to Go ones...I guess by then I will be desperate enough to try them.

KAren...do you have my cell number?

I don't think we will hear from yesterday's bandsters for a couple of days...time to rest, heal and travel for some....Applause for the first ones in our group!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I am so glad to see you all again!

Angela, have you tried the Profect Protein tubes? You can get them online. I can't have whey, so these are great for me. 25 grams in fruity base. And YES, I got your phone number now---that was ANOTHER thing freakin' me out with the shutdown. I had left it in my PMs and was afraid it was gone for good. Wow, are we hooked on this board or what??!! :paranoid

Welcome back everyone!!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I have been having a really really rough week. Tough times at work, with family, friends...I am feeling really down and overwhelmed...:cry

My four year old niece was put in the hospital on Weds. with very severe respitory issues and she is still there. My really good neighbor friend has moved back to California...without her husband... My family is still so unsupportive about all of this and is giving me difficulties in addition...My work, as a teacher....oh dear...I just want to curl up and hide. :phanvan

I got my date! November 29, so I'm a November Bandster! Thanks to everyone for posting their experiences, and my thoughts are with you all. After reading your posts I feel more excited than nervous.

I'm 5'4", 234 pounds. Going to Dr. Perez at US Bariatrics in Ft. Lauderdale - self-pay. (Tricare sucks)

What a crazy process! Endoscopy, colonoscopy, 2 sleep tests, that thing where they put a tube down your nose, blood test, EKGs, stress test, psych eval, I'll be so glad when this is over. I got fit for a CPAP last night - does anyone else have to use one? It was very uncomfortable - any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best wishes to everyone!
