Dieka, you're on there, just next to PattiC. I don't have enough room to give you your own line...sorry. I didn't forget you!

Hey you guys! I just got back down the road from my 1st nutrition appt. It was fun. We got goodie bags w/samples of different products, brochures (ex. Lauren's Hope), etc. It was a good class. It was 2 hours long, but pretty painless. It was so funny b/c I knew everything we talked about, thanks to this site! To be honest, I felt like I could've taught the class! LOL. I love LBT! I know this site is one of the main reasons I feel so confident about my surgery. How silly of me to forget myself on the calendar?!?! :confused: Yep. It was all Lynette's fault. Welcome to our newcomers Caolin, Dover, and Cincyn. We are so glad to have you! Marcyinak, we love your pics. Yes, the kiddies are cute! Laurend, how are you doing on your pre-op? All, how's it going? Any questions or concerns out there? July 07 Bandsters.doc

Hey everyone!! I'm working on updating our calendar. Yes, Ms. Lynette, you are on deck! WOOHOO!!! :clap2: I have my first nutrition appt tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. From what they tell me at the office, this should be fun. I'll be posting our updated calendar shortly. :biggrin1:

Dini, we are certainly praying and excited for you!!!! :biggrin1: I hope you are doing well. If you get a chance, pop in and tell us how you're feeling right now. Lynette, that is awesome!!! Great job w/the walk.

Hello Breadlady! I am an East Coaster. Great idea to get a feel for what we're working with. C

Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop in and say hello. I love our group.:love: Lauren, keep it up. You sound like you're doing pretty well w/the pre-op diet. And yes Marcy, I'm gonna be a 'Hottie Jalottie' come January!!! Woohooo!!! What does Lynette say??? It's gonna be great in 2008??? Well yes indeed it is. Just wait and see. Roc, welcome and congrats on your date! I know you've got 2 be excited!!! Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. Stay encouraged! :bounce:

I just ordered my Medic Alert bracelet. I got it from Lauren's Hope - Lauren's Hope - Medical ID Bracelets, Medical ID Watches, Mothers Bracelets, and 14k Gold Bracelets At first, I didn't think I needed one, but I will feel so much better knowing that I have it on. This is what I had engraved on it: Name Gastric Band Patient No Blind NG Tube No NSAIDs Just s'thing else you may want to think about. There's a thread out there somewhere about this.

Good evening, ya'll! Breadlady, we are sooo glad that you're home and doing well! That's right, keep it moving. That's what they say works well and that's what I plan to do when it's my turn. Get some good rest and take care of yourself. Hope to talk to ya tomorrow. Nelli, we're gonna be banded on the same day! Woohoo! I was feeling kinda lonely at the end of the month. Lynette, I wish you the best during this weekend. It's awesome what you're doing for the ACS. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and my sister is a colon cancer survivor. Eventually, I would love to run in one of the breast cancer marathons! Dini, loved your pics, especially the babies. They are so cute. I loooovvve babies. Don't have any of my own, yet, though. Don't have a husband, yet, so when that happens, then the kids will come, too. (The lack of a significant other is a whole other thread!) All, I had an appt today w/my primary doc. It went well. My surgeon just wanted me to get medical clearance from him, so this appt was painless. B/W now and the 25th, I believe I have 6 more appts, including my nutrition classes. I'm sure this will help the time fly by fast. Also, this may be TMI, but I'm gonna share it anyhow. LOL. Well, I have manipulated my cycle so that I will not be on it during my surgery. I wear the patch (Ortho-Evra) and if I continued to follow my current schedule, Aunt Flo would've showed up around surgery time. :angry No way. So...I did what I had to do and I will be Aunt Flo-free come the week of surgery. YAY!

Hello!!! We have been thinking about you. Get some good rest tonight and chat w/us tomorrow.

Yay! I was gonna say, "How can you forget l'il ol' me???" Thanks!

Dini, I just looked at the calendar and your sig line and you are only 5 days away!!! WOW. How are you feeling about that?

Sure thing. Anything to help us along. Height: 5'4 Weight: 287

No, just all the pre-op stuff...you know upper GI, EKG, pulmonary functioning, and blood work... Thanks for the tip on the water and veins. I will DEFINITELY remember that for the next go 'round!

Dini, yes, I see Indigogirl on the calendar. IndigoGirl, I don't see Dini or Breadlady on your calendar...

Thanks, Dini! I'm feeling better today. Was just down for a couple days, but all is well, now. Yes, Breadlady, how are you? We've been thinking about and praying for you. Laurend, hang tough. You can do this! Lynette, how are you doing? B/W you and Dini, this thread has got to be the best organized thread on LBT!!! You guys are doing great.

Hello, IndigoGirll, Abbey, LWesson, and Dancing 2!!! Welcome. So glad ya'll found us. This is a great group of folks. I had my appt today and it was a piece of cake...except the lady couldn't get any blood from my arteries! I got poked twice and nothing. Oh well, right? I will have a follow-up appt in about a week. I hope everyone is doing well. I've got a bit of catching up to do w/our thread. We've got a lot of activity going on. Gotta love it!:high5:

Hello everyone. Welcome to all our new fellow Lucky 7'ers. Once again, feeling totally worn out from the day and have another big day tomorrow. I have my appt for my pulmonary function test and my arterial blood gases (which I know if gonna hurt!). Then I have another appt on Thurs w/my primary doc. Goodness. I feel like I'm in a whirlwind! I will be back tomorrow to let you know how my appt went. Sorry I haven't been as social lately. Just feeling kinda down :think...it's a combo b/w the depression and PMS... Gnite, gang.

LOL. Lauren, I'm not copying you, but this just happened to me, too.

Same for me. This happened at home earlier today, and it just happened here at work.

I was wondering what your diet was gon look like. My doc doesn't require one, but I'd like to follow one anyway, just to get a jump on the wt loss and try to shrink my liver. Let us know what the rest of your diet looks like.

Hey ya'll! I had my appt today and it went well. I got all my pre, pre-op stuff. I have a folder from my docs office that lists all the stuff that I have to get done (i.e., pulmonary stuff, bloodwork, EKG, etc.). It's quite a bit, but it's all for the best. I was busy on the phone scheduling everything. I have a couple nutrition classes to go to, too. I'm excited! With all of these appts over the next few weeks, the time will fly by and July 25th will be here soon!!!!! To be honest, I'm actually really tired from the day's events. I travel about 1.5 hrs to my surgeon's office (one way), I scheduled my appts, then came in to work tonight. I am beat. Can't wait to hit the sack. :notagree Will catch up w/ya'll tomorrow. Gnite!

Laurend, Exactly what I thought. I was like, "Whoa, what's that for?" But guess who just bought one this weekend??? The blender, I mean...:guess LOL!
