Thanks Y'all! Pat - I'm not hiding out, I have been doing a lot of studying lately. I have tried to keep up reading threads, just haven't had the time to post to all of them. I also went on Vacation last week, so I wasn't home much then. I didn't find out until I got to Illinois that my favorite Aunt was in the hospital on life support. Each day I call to see how she is doing. So, it has been a hectic time for me lately. I have to tell y'all about the b-day card my DH got for me. It was really cute! It says: Happy Birthday to a wife who still has a girlish figure...... ...from a husband who still has boyish ideas! It has this gal on the front in a red dress with lots of curves! (now if I only looked like that) I thought that was so cool!

Welcome to LBT! It gets better with each day!

Amen to that!

Except for my immediate family, I am a closet banster. About a month ago, I told my neighbor, only because she is going to get it done and I thought I might be of some help to her. I am glad I haven't said anything to anyone else for all the same reasons you stated. I honestly didn't want to deal with all the questions, and also I didn't want for people to ask why I hadn't lost weight faster. I think each person has to make up their minds what is best for them. I haven't regreted being a closet banster for one moment. Good Luck in whatever you decide.

How cute, but how true!

Welcome to bandland! Post and let us know how you are doing when you can.

Thoughts and prayers your way! How are you feeling today? Please keep us posted.

I also have an extra room if someone needs it. Just let me know!

Happy Birthday! Have a great one!

I like them too, and I like that they have so many different flavors.

Whooo Hoooo! Great NSV!

What beautiful children you all have! Paula, you look just like your Mother, you are both very beautiful ladies!

I know you are going through the most difficult time of your life. I lost my Mom and Dad 10 days apart from each other, and I thought my world was going to end. I still get tears in my eyes everytime I think about it. It took me about 3 years before I could talk about them without crying. My heart goes out to you, I wish I could hold your hand and tell you it does get easier, it just takes some time. Pretty soon, you can start remembering the good times you had with her, and they will become pretty special to you. Your day will come, just take a little time to heal from all this. My Mom always use to tell me "Good things come to those who wait", and I am a true believer in that. Hugs, and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Now, your Mom can be your Angel watching over you during your surgery.

I will be leaving Friday and won't be back until Wednesday. My brother/wife and husband/me are going to go visit some of the family I haven't seen in a VERY LONG time. I am really looking forward to seeing them again. Just thought I would let y'all know!

Welcome to LBT, and good luck!

Congrats! Start shopping for your liquids, get ready, it'll be here before you know it!
