Arkansas Bansters!!!

[melody_mary_42f 0]

More in common! I'm looking for work too...been home over 3 years now but need to find something!

Sorry to hear about everything going on...once you feel better then things should start picking up.

I'm not sure of where in Cabot is a good walking place? Actually the Jacksonville Community Center has that track. I've only been living in Cabot for a year so maybe I don't know what it all offers.

J-Ville has the outside track at the community center. Or 10.00 a mo. to walk inside...also I do believe the track at the J-ville football field is open to the public....so is Cabot

Hi, I'm not military either. I'm originally from here but lived away for 13 years & just moved back. I've got plans tomorrow. Hubby works late & isn't home until 8:30 so I may have to bow out of a meeting. :thumbdown:

Well, I go away for a few months and look what happens - everyone in Arkansas gets banded without telling me! Wow, I can't believe how many people are posting here now, I'm going to have to come visit more often!

I was banded by Dr. Gibbs, btw, and I really like him and his nurse - they take good care of me.

Hi ladies, I tried to post earlier today but the website was acting crazy.

I'm still here...and encourage anyone thinking about the lap band...I may not be loosing at a fast rate as some, but I'm doing ok otherwise. I haven't updated my ticker but I'm down 47 lbs & Sept 5th will be my 6th month anniversary. I've had 4 fills and this 4th one is the first time I've actually felt the band work like I was told it would.

My schedule is a bit crazy with two boys so I am not available to exercise with y'all...my hubby doesn't get home until late so I'd have to bring boys in tow...I get enough exercise just chasing them in the backyard and my house, let alone around a track or somewhere else. If my home life changes, I will have to get involved with a walk group such as you local ladies.

I hope this finds all doing well & loosing big!

Hi everyone. I have not been on for awhile. My computer crashed at home. Hopefully it will be up and running by this weekend. I am up to 6cc and let me tell you, it will make you think twice about what you eat. It hurts if you make a mistake! I have not lost very much, but I did eat cake this weekend.

i think a lot of people stop posting after they get past the "new" phase. then they are posting in their monthly forums or other areas.

I live in Star City,AR and was just banded by Dr. Lutrell.

I have a bundle of relates in Star City.... My aunt Leo West just passed away. I was down for the funeral

How was the Luttrell experience? I went to his seminar... but i do believe i will use Wellborn for the surgery,. Just because he and I go way back..to the 80's.

Please let me hear about your success. I plan to be banded after the first of the year, this is when i will have the opportunity to change insurances,,,,,and the new one will pay.

Praise Jesus!

Well it is a life changing experience. At first I thought I would die of hunger. Things are much better now. I went also to Dr. Wellborn's seminar. I really like Dr. Lutrell he is really great and i did not have a long wait to have my surgery. Once my insurance approved me it took only two weeks to have it done. The whole process was maybe a month or less.
