What I was told was that the Fashion Show is bariatric patients who have achieved their goal or substantial weight loss and the Mall stores, maybe Macy's since the show is outside there? - help dress the folks in stylish clothing and do their hair/makeup to really accent how nice they look now and that they have a slide show or a presenter, maybe Melissa Webb, the bariatric coordinator for Mt. Carmel, that tells the person's story of their weight loss, motivation, etc. I was told by a couple who attended last year it was very touching to see. So, I'll plan to head to Tuttle but if you all want to still have a group at Polaris I'm cool with that too.

Directions to Tuttle aren't that much harder than Polaris IMHO... I-270 West to the Tuttle Crossing Exit. You can see the mall on the left from the freeway. If they are coming from the South, like Cincinnati, they'd take the west leg of 270North and again, they'll see an exit for Tuttle Crossing. If they are taking I-71 like coming to Polaris, they just continue south on 71 until 270 and go West until you get to the Tuttle Crossing exit.

HI anyone intrested in getting a team together or just joining as individuals in the 2008 Columbus ohio athritis walk on May 3rd at

Highbanks park . The entry fee is $25 per person and it is a 1 mile or 3 mile walk I think I am up to the three mile walk myself. I thought this might be a fun event to do as a group and it is for a good cause if anyone wants to do it with me just let me know as I really don't want to do it by myself if will be much more fun with a bandster buddy.

Here is the website link 2008 Arthritis Walk - Columbus, OH - Home

Tyanna, I just found out that opening day for my kids TBall is the 3rd. They moved it up a week, so I am not going to be able to join you. Sorry! Good luck and have a fun time!

I saw my PCP doc yesterday and she was thrilled with my 25 lb loss so far and asked lots of questions as I am her first patient to ever have lap band surgery. She even made herself a side note right while I was there to do more research on lap band to get more up to speed on the procedure.

Anyway, I asked if I could get off my Cholesterol medicine (Zocor) and she said YES!! she said let's take a baseline blood check today and then I'll see you in 3 months so we can see how you are doing.

Quick question?? What is NSV?? :coolgleamA: Can't figure it out....Sorry

[OH Juli 15]

NSV= non scale victory.

A bonus to losing weight that is unrelated to the numbers on the scale.

SpecialK,

You should be pleased! Good going!

Wow Special K!!! Great job! Yes, you should be proud!

Yah Kathy! One less medication is a step in the right direction! And kudos to you doc for doing more research on the band!

[Thinner me 1]
