Can I join too? Haven't been to Holland but have been host mom for 2 foreign exchange students from Holland, also another one from Sweden who is living in Amsterdam now and is marrying a "Hollandic".
We hosted them back 10 years ago, but they have been back 2x and we talk every other month. What a wonderful experience - while our own kids were little! I can't wait for them to come back this time. The band has been a wonder thing!

We will be visiting our son in October in Sacramento (I lived there many many years ago), and would like to know when and where the support group is...
Thanks
Dee
Hi Teresa! Welcome... missed you last month at the support group meeting. (I actually was able to make it). Dr Lappert was there and I never knew that plastic surgery could be so interesting and entertaining! Love the guy.
Your weight loss is fantastic!!! I still can remember the photos of you that you showed me in January! How is your recovery of the hysterectomy?
hugs

Hi Sheri, I was also banded in Scottsbluff. Congrats on your weight loss! How much do you have in your band and when was your last fill?

Surgery was Thursday, home Friday, Monday a holiday and went to work on Tuesday. I do have a home based business ( tax prep ) and I did 50 returns Sat, Sun and Mon.
Hi Annette.
Isn't the band a wonderful thing! Congrats on your weight loss. I was banded 2/13/03 in Scottsbluff, Ne. and as of today have 76lbs gone forever.
We were on vacation last week and for the first time in many many moons, I went swimming - IN PUBLIC!! It felt great!
Love to hear more on your progress.

Hi everyone...I'm Dee and I was banded 2/13/03 in Scottsbluff, Ne. To date I have lost 75lbs and am so glad that I was banded.
Our quality of life has definitely improved with the surgery. So much more energy, and can't wait to start taking hula lessons :laugh :laugh
We have 3 children - 1 a chef, 1 in college and 1 a senior in high school. I plan on being close to goal next May for graduations and our 25th anniversary.
I look forward in all of your stories and encouragement!
