Hi There!

Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Back from holiday....not one of our more stellar trips but got to see our grandchildren so that makes up for the icky parts.

Put on 6 pounds in 5 weeks but I'm not upset about it...considering how many appletinies I drank along with the volume of wine...not to mention the great dinners out...99% of the time, I ate off my hubby's plate...worked well. It was much easier than trying to explain to the staff that nothing was wrong with their food when I had a full plate and said I was done.

Going to wait until I get this gain off before I go see my doc for my first fill...don't want him yelling at me...he wanted to do the fill at 7 weeks since I was going on holiday and I opted not to...it was 4 days before I was due to leave and I didn't want to risk any of the complications I've read about..especially since this band isn't part of the program in the US yet.

Anyway, just wanted to say hi and best wishes to all of the new banders and hang in there to the future banders.

Hey Deb,

Glad to hear you had a good trip. If you're anything like my mom, I'm sure you spoiled the grandkids rotten while you were there

Which ticker are you trying to use - tickerfactory.com or tickercentral.com? If its tickerfactory, after you make the ticker and you're presented with 3 options that you can copy and paste, choose the first option. Copy it in its entirity and paste it into your signature (under User CP). The other one though, I'm afraid I haven't tried, so wouldn't have a clue.

Hi Parvathi and Paula,

Sorry for not getting back sooner...been trying to get caught up at work and sleep...jet lag is a pain in the arse.

I was using the ticker.com sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't....I might try the other one...

I thought it went pretty well considering....now that i'm getting back into my routine I have managed to lose 3 of the 6 pounds...that was probably swelling..I do that when we fly...always have...

Anyway, missed all you guys thanks for the encouragement...I know I can always count on ya'll!
