Meet the March Bandsters!

[whimsy 0]

I thought it would be nice to share some photos of each other since we're all going through this lapband thing together. It would be great to put a face with the name. I know not everyone is comfortable with this kind of stuff, though, so don't feel like you are obligated!

Since it was my idea, I'll go first. :cool2:

My name is Andi and I live in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. I'm married to the most wonderful guy. We don't have children but we do have 7 pets: 2 chihuahuas named after X-Men, 3 cats named after Batman villains and 2 french bulldogs named after characters of the TV show, Friends. I do not work full-time but I do "work" by training my frenchies and taking them to photo shoots for print ads and commercials. :biggrin2:

I'm a goofy girl who is easily amused. I love gaming (mostly online MMORPGs or D&D) and horror movies. Reality TV is a guilty pleasure that I indulge in regularly.

My mother is from Thailand, so innately my favorite food is Thai cuisine. I'm thankful that most Thai food is healthy. I'll be having many Thai Soups during the five weeks of my full liquids phase.

My weight issues are mainly due to PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). I am diabetic and take medications for hypertension and elevated cholesterol. I hope that was my weight improves, these problems will be but a memory for me. *grins*

On to the pictures! The first picture is me and my husband, Jeremy. The second picture is with my oldest Frenchie, Joey.

I look forwarding to getting to know all of you Marchies better!

Yay! Thank you for posting! I thought I was going to be here all by myself posting random pictures of my dogs.

It is so good to place a face with the name!

And I think you need to actually resize the photo prior to uploading it if you want it smaller - you just need one of the photoshop type programs to do it. :eek:

To get the logo that everyone has, just right click on the picture and select Copy. Then just paste it to your signature!! I know, it has taken me a while to figure these things out!!

I guess I will go.

I am 28 years old and married. My DH is planning to get banded as well.

I have one beautiful daughter who is 6-Jordan.

I have two Yorkies who are part of my family as well-Reeses and Snickers(can you tell my weakness?)

Anywho here's the pic. It's of me and my brother at my recent 28 b-day bash.

Yay Jenna! It's so great to "meet" you! And the Yorkies are just precious! They are one of my favorite breeds and their names are too cute! You're going to force me to post more pictures of my entire zoo... :drool:

Hi there, Niki! Welcome to the family! I will be thinking about you as you take the first pivotal step of your lapband journey. :sneaky:

Thanks! Nice to "meet" you too! You and your DH look like a fun couple. Looks like I will be back in Dallas this week for my DH to get his surgery on Friday. It's a go! Maybe we should move back. LOL. :drool:

Yay! I'm excited for him! And yeah, you should move back! :drool: I'd say lets get together for lunch or something but...you know. :sneaky: I guess we could have Soup but that wouldn't be quite as entertaining. *grins*

LOL. I agree. Maybe a few months down the road we can get together. It's only a 4 hr trip which isn't that far.
