I'll be working in St Louis until late spring/early summer. It'd be great if I could just stayover one of those weekends and drive up to meet you guys!!

Hi,

Didnt know if anyone already knew this, but a group of bandsters are having a Bash in Chicago early April. All the folks going are on Spotlight Health, lapband support group board. Most of them are tenured bandsters who want to party like we do. Maybe we can get together with this group?

:) That counts me out, I think. My plans are to be in Ireland the two weeks before, but we'll see. It may work out that I have to do a 'follow-up' up there around that time. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

I can't say for sure, but depending on when everybody decides they want to do it, I might be able to swing it. I'd love to meet everyone!

April will work for me. I will be in Mexico all summer taking language classes. I plan to come out to Kansas this spring anyway to see my grandson. I used to post on Spotlight until I found LBT. :)

I might be able to attend in early April, but I won't be able to be a hostess then. Besides working, I'm in grad school (nights), and the new quarter will have started. But if there's a weekend meeting or dinner for the Spotlight group, I'd give it a shot.

I still think a late July Chicago bash might be a good idea...

Leatha, let's see what we can work out while you're in St. Louis. Maybe instead of a full-blown bash we could just have a mini-party, and DeLarla can sneak inside Penni's make-up bag.

I'm interested in making the trip no matter when you have it. I just need a two month lead to make vacation arraignments at work. Of course I am retired and don't really need this job. So If I want to go and they won't let me I can quit. LOL they take so long to hire replacements here that I'll be back from Chicago and all forgiven by then they will just take me back LOL

Becky, you have to go to Mexico for classes. What no one teaches English where you live???

Chi Cosa fi d'bella Oggi?( results of 4 yrs Italian in college...its all I remember lol)

Gee, Greg, somehow that sounds nasty. :ermm Lots of people teach English where I live. It is very hard to get a job. Besides, I like teaching English as a Second Language and it would be good if I had a second language myself. Besides, if I'm not in school I have to go back to work. I like my 2 year break!

LOL Becky

It means "What are you doing on this fine day"

I really enjoyed taking Italian and I love to listen to those who speak the romantic languages. I can read Italian and write it I just can't get my brain to formulate the words so I can speak it.( Hell I have a hard enough time duing this with the enh=glish language) I actually took it in college so I'd be able to understand what my mother in law and my wife's grandmother would say when I walked into a room. LOL they would be talking english till I showed up the switch to Italian. After I took it found out due to their Dialect I couldn't understand them anyway. I learned formal Italian.

That's too funny! :laugh I love listening to Spanish, but also have a hard time with the speaking. I'll give it a go and then move on if I can't get it. :D

Are you snowy out there?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
