  1. Thanks for friending me! Have to call it a night. Think Thin!
  2. Dreamers, you sound so much like me. and your questions were awesome. The best part of this site is learning from what others learn. I don't have a date yet, but hopefully around mid Dec. Also.
  3. Look Mads, I didn't see the bat signal for banjo to come take care of business. Or else, you know, I would have been there just like for CG
  4. BB's, united we stand, divided, hell, we'll never be divided!!!
  5. Hey Julie, Welcome! I was a science teacher for 25 yrs, my favorite classes were my inclusion classes. I'm not banded either. Waiting on insurance to ok it. This place is a grwat way to hear first hand what people have experienced. But remember the obvious, everyone has diff. doctors so everyone had different info. And opinions. Enjoy your journey.
  6. I remember awhile back a poster with a sharp tongue and being grateful their anger was being dished to strangers than to family, children, etc. My gals, let's meet up at home base.
  7. Go to pre op diet and see what was written to cg.
  8. New comers this is NOT for you. This is for the "ladies" that are acting like junior high mean girls. Now the funny thing is a stereotype mean girl is blonde skinny big ego....and except for the blonde, if that was us we wouldn't be on LBT. We are here to ask, give, and receive from each other. How about if you don't have something nice to say, SHUT UP. The new people deserve better. And to the new people, don't let a few bad apples scare you off. Welcome, I'm banjo257, I am waiting to be banded and I would love to give a pat on the back to anyone that is deserving, a hand to pull up anyone that has fallen, and a foot to, well you get the idea.
  9. Try using the manners I am sure your parents taught you. If someone takes the time and effort to give a heartfelt response, to frankly what was an obvious answer, then someone with class should accept it. If it is not the answer you are looking for well by alk means let me give you the answer you obviously were fishing for.....gaining 5 lbs while on a doctor directed diet GREAT job, I am sure your liver thinks you are awesome. Now seesawing and losing 7lbs, you are a legend. Keep asking questions, now we knoe how you want them answered. CG, no go deed......
  10. What you talking about Willis? Lucy, you got some splainning to do! Sit on it potsie! I'm relying on tv to come up with a response.
  11. You are now my lapband bff!!!
  12. Hey banderina, Love the name btw. Not from CT, but a close neighbor in MA. Not been banded yet but impatiently waiting for the ok. But if you ever want to yack it up with me I am here, learning as much as possible. BUT, are you a yankee or sox fan?? There is a fine line drawn down your state.
  13. Not just a pretty face on a huge body ya know!
  14. Yikes, I am glad your scare is over.
  15. I haven't been banded yet, but have been a science teacher for 25 yrs.Yes, your band will be tighter with lower temp, and higher in warmer temp but because your body is warmblooded @ 98.6, you shouldn't notice a difference due to temp change.
  16. I am not banded yet but have been going to the groups. The by pass peopke look at me like I have 3 heads! And try to convert me but I wondered the same thing ad you
  17. Good luck and lysol lysol lysol!!
  18. You are very kind to share your experience. Hope all future fills are event free for you.
  19. You guys are getting soooo slim. Congrats and admiration to all!
  20. Great news! Good luck with lap band part 2, the sequel.
  21. He has been band(no pun intended) from coming home except for thxgiving until tge end of the semester.That may sound weird but at home he can work and make $$$. His favorite pass time. He also won't get to see the girlfriend, she's home as a senior. So hopefully he'll man up.
  22. So happy for you and jealous too. Waiting for my call. How long did you have to wait?
