Visit this other thread for more info. There is more activity on that thread than this one for details of the East Coast Bash. Thinking about an East Coast Bash This thread will be locked.

Saturday the 24th at 5:30pm (Restaurant to be determined) Alexandra sorry but Chinese is out. One of the girls doesn't care for Chinese. No biggie just need to decide on something else. Indian, Italian, Steak, I am easy. Kirsten is looking into alternatives as well. Can you think of another restaurant close to "that area". LOL!! Kelly Ann the more the merrier.

Here is another one to try.

Sarah you beat me to it.

IF you got a pic you want to be made into an Avatar then send it to Penni60@aol.com and I will take care of it for you. I will also send you directions on how to add the pic as well.

Have fun and don't forget pictures.

Sounds like a weiner and I made this post a STICKY as well.

OK Eileen you are way tooooooooooooooo Perky in the mornings. Makes me wanna smack you. OOPS!! Sorry I am cranking before my first Raja's Cup. Wait let me down this one cup. SLUUUUUUURRRRPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!! OK now that I have had that cup. (THINK MISTER ROGERS) GOOD MORNING TO YOU!! GOOD MORNING TO YOU!! LOLL!!!!!!!

We will support and love you no matter what you decide to do. I would wait till after the Swiss trip though.

I don't think anything is assured in this life. Certainly you can pull a stitch and it can tilt again but I had my surgery in June of 2004 and haven't had anymore problems since. They access it with one stick easily. Personally I don't buy the loss of weight and the port tilting theory. If that was the case then everyone losing weight would be going through the same thing. My theory is that a stitch pulled loose and caused the port to tilt. Most times this is managable and no surgery is required. Other times like mine it was in danger of protruding through the skin and needed to be repositioned.

Walked 1 mile (20 min). Shaving that time off little by little

Daniela, there are no words to express how much grief you must be feeling. I am completely overwhelmed by the emotion and sadness you must be experiencing. I lost my father to cancer when he was 54. He was suffering in the end so it was for the best that he passed. But it did not deaden the pain of the loss. Nothing does. I still miss him to this day. This poem helped me as I wrote it when he passed away. I hope it lends some comfort to you.

It is a cleansing of the grief stricken soul!

I had a tilted port as well. Two months after my initial band surgery I had to have my port repositioned due to the tilting. The recuperation from the port revision surgery is a breeze. I was up and around by that evening. It was outpatient. I went in at 7a for surgery and was on my way home at 4p in the afternoon. No problems whatsoever. My insurance covered MOST of the surgery so I have no idea what the cost was.

The weight is a factor with Life and Health insurance unless you get either or both through your employer. I was just sent my Chase Life Insurance policy post band so it isn't a factor for them.

Terri my girlfriend sent me the Waxing one and I am still laughing about that. Here is one my mom just sent me. She is a devout Southern Baptist lady. So for her to send me this made it all that much more funny.

With all medications you should double check with your doctor, but with antidepressants and BP meds it is important that you maintain the blood levels of both meds. But again double check with your doctor.

The liquid diet is essentially a form of detox but in this instance it is used for other purposes. So the headaches is your bodies way of telling you it is mad at you for depriving it of what it normally eats. Think of this headache as a "good" thing. All that icky stuff is being flushed out of your bodies. Liquid Tylenol works great for it. Also drinking LOTS of Water. Fresh clean water.

Looks like you guys had a blast. Isn't it great to actually put a face to a name.

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!! Here is something to give you an incentive. LOL!!!!
