I'llsucceed

sorry don't know what your speaking of. Is it a type of insurance for a state, Mass.?? Try asking under the insurance section if it is or under the state section for Mass. Good luck

That is wonderful news on schedualing a date- I hope your surgery is very successful & that your healing time is fast. Best of luck & keep us posted as to how your doing.

VERY COOL NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll be the perfect spokes model> to think that you've done such an extreme job in a year is Fantastic!!! I would be every proud too! Great Job Michelle!

Welcome Amber & the very best of luck on your up coming surgery. I too think that your little"cheat" was very respectable. You've done awesome! Give yourself a little credit...Ok I will... JOB WELL DONE AMBER!!!! LOL_LOL_ Anyhow you'll do just great w/the band I am sure- Make smart decisions like you already have;0)

One of my all time fav- Hawaiian pizza..Bacon,Pineapple & ham- Yuummy;0)

She has been around alot- just posted yesterday-I think. for sure she posted two days ago. I beleive she is doing awesome. See Zoe- you can't escape for even 12 hours and your are sooo missed Girl!!! LOL What a loved girl!!!!!!

Ditto -the site for me was down this morning till after I think 8 am or was it yesterday- yeah yesterday I couldn't get on.

Only if my best friend told me for SURE she couldn't see anything- than I use it & probably do a little dance for fun!! Penni- how do you find these things!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please know that you will not be naked! Everything will be covered up! Except we were hoping Vera's great tush would show;0) Let me know if its ok if your covered up girls. Email me

Great post Kim ! So very true that slow weight loss should be celebrated like any other weight loss. Your skin will thank you for it! Not to mention ...Hello any loss is NOT A GAIN! Horrray!!! So glad your doing well & it was a very nice "pay it forward"

BushBaby, I think Dec is filled but I will check. Penni already has 3 girls total. There is maybe one other month that will be a joint one so I will e-mail you. One way or another we will get you in! Thats all for now ladies- you will be contacted off of LBT when updated. Thanks Christina & Penni

This is what I yearn for- To learn what La madam has learned. If I could do this without surgery, oh... how happy & thin I would be. Thank goodness for the band the the lessons it teaches us!

HI Esmeralda, I think it would be very tough having children & the band & having to care to their needs always. I give you alot of credit for the great success you've already had. The best advise I can say is you need to schedule the time for yourself & make it a priority. Your kids are old enough to understand Mommy time by now & they will also benefit from the discipline they'll learn by leaving you alone for 15-20 mins a couple times a week. Grab your fav book, light a candel, take a bath or go walk if possible. Its important for you to be whole has well as them. Good Luck.

Congrats Jenna & Roxanna! Good for both of you! Sorry to hear of your scare Jenna. Accidents do happen all over the world. But they just seem to be more prevelant by far in Mexico. I am glad you are BOTH back home & safe & sound.

Blessed EASTER to you all!

Just Spoke W/Nancy. She said her MIL went very peacefully & she & her DH are currently up North to take care of Nancy's FIL. She passed on Good Friday which seemed appropriate because her own parents had also died around Easter. As to Nancy's Dad, good news is that the tumor is not cancer & is also very slow growing. Her Dad is in his 80's so they don't think its good to remove it but it shouldn't interfer with his life. The alzhemiers is what takes it toll. Nancys says thank you to each one of you & please keep her in your thoughts. She sends special thanks & hugs to Greg for being such a good friend!! She will post sometime next week & says "Happy Easter to All"

Monica- I would love to hear of your follow-up to everyones questions. I am learning still & see alot of posts from bandster who are not losing as fast/much as they would like. Than I see others give advise & ask questions to try & help get to the problem BUT I never end up see the resolution. Please let us know how your doing & if there is something that you think may be the main reason(like the fill isn't enough) or not enough water or drinking while eating maybe. You can help teach someone like me who is yet to be banded. I appreciate your help. Thank you & Congrats on your weight loss so far !!! Its wonderful!

Nancy ((hugs)) I had no idea. I am so sorry for your loss. I know its been a rough road with your Dad has well & am so sadden by the additional health scare. I had been wondering why I hadn't heard from you has of late. You & your family will be in my prayers especially this Easter Sunday. If you care to have lunch next week let me know. I'll try calling you today. We are all here for you Nancy. If I can help with anything (even your daughter) shes so close, just let me know. Love you-Christina

I am telling you there is absolutely no way I would go to Mexico. I hate what is happening to Vera! Just hate all the time & $$ & emotion she has had to put up with. I know lots & lots of people have had great success w/Mexico. BUT the majority of problems we see on LBT envolve Mexico. So you put two & two together & what do you get=more possible problems statistically. I hope we can have a more finacial way in the US soon. Vera(Ms.August)- you do what ever necessary to have the BEST care available & demand what you want no matter what. You will be in my prayers.

Crystal & Staci- are with you Penni. Still not sure about Kelly,Paula or Zoe Also waiting to hear if Teresa wants to add anyone.

Love the last shot Penni- Just think a pair of antennas & wings - You got yourself a great halloween outfit. Add a bottle of beer & you could be a BAR FLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL LOL LOL

Bumped for newbie comments

Awww darn it -I hate that you have this problem! I hate it when anyone has to go through this crap. But boy you have a very healthy attitude & I think that will carry so very far. I wish you health & healing. You were banded in TJ right? I assume they are picking up any added cost or have you decided to have your revisions in state? YOu have done awesome on your weight loss-Two thumbs up!!!!!

Now that is the kind of post that just makes me so happy to read. Way to be PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy that YOUR happy. Great advise Alex-has always!!! Keep up the good work Pink, I bet your folks are so darn proud of you!!
