New Hope

Sorry, gals, those are horrible quality picture taking! But I did finally learn how to post a picture. (Thank you, Lisa G.) I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Oh, I smell estrogen AND testosterone!!

Can you tell us who your band surgeon was? Have you had any other complications prior to this? What type of symptoms were you having? What surgeon is removing your band?

Live action shot of "We Are Family!"

Nancy, Leatha, and Betty..... "Where's my other glasses, I can't see the last line!"

"Diana Ross & the Supremes!" Oh, I mean Nancy, Leatha, and Betty!

Lisa G. and Nancy "belt" one out.

Nancy struts her stuff. Psst, Leatha, over here!

Nancy and Paula checking the pockets for loose change.

Paris Hilton don't have anything on Ginny!

Paula has an "uplifting" moment with Nancy & Leatha.

"Ginny, is this really ME?", asks Lisa G.

Sweet Betty Boop!

Paula, busted! (With Nancy & Leatha)

Hi, Ginny, Lisa G., and Leatha!

32 pounds!!! Congratulations, girl! That creep will be eating his words in a very, very short time. Hope someone else is around when he notices!

What is normal?

Check when your insurance policy renews. Our UHC PPO renews 1/1/2005. See if any changes will be taking place that can affect you...like change in drs., hospitals, amounts covered, type surgery covered, co-pays, deductibles, etc.

Please be sure you have all of the answers in writing from your insurance company before you get your band. Avoid any unpleasant $$$ surprises! Best of luck to you!

I guess you're busted with Santa for Christmas now!

Maybe that's why I hate to ride the bus!

Leatha, meeting you in person just reinstated what I already knew!

It's actually called the Heimlich Maneuver.

I'm the type who always worries what happened to the animal. If the cowboy got shot, what happened to the horse. I think we should all rent the Wizard of Oz and watch it Thanksgiving Day after we eat our dinner! Then we can go to the Chat Room and compare notes.

I agree with Betty. Don's email is don.mills@inamed.com .
