Happy New year To all . Hope everyone is happy, healthy, and reaching their goals.

Congratulations!!! wish you lots of good health and success!!!

I guess it won't be to big of a deal. I think I will feel better about it all after my surgery date is scheduled.

Jack I've been to the nutritionist already and I scheduled to see a pshycologist Jan 4. little worried about that visit,never been to one before. What kind of questions should I expect? Nutritionist gave me a list off foods to eat now. Is there another diet before surgery?

nightingale 2U yuck!!!!! I thought the banana snow cones where bad enough but the choclate is worse!!! Back to band talk how long have you had yours and what would be good advice for this prebandster to follow?? whats helped you the most ??

Just found this site a few days ago. Hope you are doing lots better now ...My husband had 3 wrecks in 1 week ... this was several years ago... lucky him... talk about a dangeros driver!!!

Paula you all sound like me. I'm definetly an organizer. I can't stand clutter and it makes me nervous and ill until I get it all cleaned up. Thanks for the warm welcome. I think I'm becoming like so many others now that I found you all. I can't stay off the computer... You guys make great company to talk to.

Jack it sounds like your really making a good come back. Your progress is inspiration to us all. I hope I'll bounce back that quick after surgery...

Please let us know how your doing. I haven't been banded yet and I am very interested in hearing about others and their experiences... Northerner, I think you made the best decision ever and I know I am too!!! Keep us posted.

I am uncertain on this too! I haven't been banded yet either. Hoping I will in Jan. or Feb. Answers to long term questions like this will make everyone feel better...

Sounds like a complete garden disaster to say the least!!! Are you feeling better this morning Jack?

wow!!! See you got good stories . I live 1 street over from Pigeon Roost Rd!!!. The most exciting thing that happens here is the KUDZU FESTIVAL.... Do you have any idea how hard it is to kill that !#*#

Jack if you ever make the mistake, and eat yellow snow.... tell your self you were just making a banana snowcone....??

I'm leaving mine up till Newyears too... I figure I went through all that trouble .... whats another week?

Jack We have well water... The rest sounds like home to me. We got 2 inches of snow and people out here act like its 2feet. You say snow and they head to walmart in flocks, to get milk.On Christmas Eve my brother was amoungst the idiots in the parking lot who got stuck and had to go inside to buy cat liter to put under their tires to get unstuck

I have small feet, Thank God!!! That's the only thing small about me.... Oh yeah , my feet and my height .( My mom says she's not over weight she's just under tall.)

I've been exercising more than I realize!!!! Wait till I tell the Dr. about this!!! So glad you all have a sence of humar

Never been to Oregon Jack. Do you have running Water??? We do we run down the hill to the pond with a bucket and run back up.... I've been reading all of you updates. Hope your doing better today...

New Hope I completely agree. There have been so many times that I would have been so much better off putting my foot in my mouth. It pays to listen instead of complaining about things you can't change.

Your pretty close on that location. Your a genious!!! I just feel like Ms. is very boring at times. Got transferred here through my dads job. After 15 years, I call it home.

Great pictures. Looks like you have a very happy family. Thats whats so great about christmas. getting together with the ones you love the most.

I think I have tears in my eyes. This was great.

Thanks for making me feel welcome. Everyone usually shows up on Holidays unexpected. People know at mom's house there will always be plenty to eat...( whats a few more).I live in Mississippi( don't hold it against me... Ha! Ha! Not real sure if any of you understand the meaning of living in the boonies...? Posted a little about my self a few days back... can't figure out what happened to it. found a couple replies on it next day and now its gone??? Any way I 'll tell you about my self right now. I'm a 27 year old mother of 1 daughter (she's 5) . Been overweight since age of 10. Tried many things to loose weight. Lost 50 to 60 pounds few times only to gain it back plus some. I've been considering lapband surgery for a while now. A month ago I had to start taking blood pressure and cholesterol meds. After that Dr. suggested I do the lapband. I was looking for more info, when I found you guys. Hopefully talking to other people going through the same thing will help me be more prepared for surgery and what to expect after. Thanks for the support I've already recieved you all are great.

No one knows me that well yet but, I still wanted to say Merry christmas. I hope to get to know you all better. My family had a wonderful Christmas. My little girl really had fun opening presents(she's 5) She's was all about santa coming!!! Talk again soon.

Happy Holidays to everyone.
