Very pretty Melissa. They are both very pretty girls. Angie

Janet, I am so proud of you!!!! CONGRATS on being banded. How are you feeling? How much have you lost? How long does your Dr. want you on liquids and mushies? I love it. Let me know if you have any questions at all. I am here for ya. Angie

I am sooo scared!!!!! :yield: HELP ME!!!! :help: Angie

Have you heard of Zumba? It is a latin dance workout and it is a lot of fun. You should check it out. I think the website is www.zumba.com Angie

Wow that is weird to sound like a frog? lol I havent had a fill so not sure. I havent noticed any type of hiccups since I even got the band. Hopefully you figure it out. Im not much help here. :S Angie

That just cracked me up and made me laugh really loud... You are a trip Dianne. woo... funny stuff. I needed a laugh like that. lol:biggrin1:

I had for Breakfast was hashbrowns of all things... What am I thinking!!!! I havent been able to eat since I got sick but this morning I wanted Hashbrowns? :faint: Oh well.... I havent ate again. I need too but just feel drained and tired from that mess I had. ARRGGHH!! CHARLIE BROWN!!! Angie

Woo, I better show up or I will get my butt kicked I think. Everyone talkin' about having soup with me and all. I so appreciate you guys doing this with me. You rock! And that sounds weird a Top Poster Girl? Who did you pose for? lol j/k I know what you mean. tee hee... Just a jokee!!! Alright outta here! WOOT! Angie

Yes Melissa you have mentioned that before. I would love to get a tattoo there we should try it? lol Did you spill the Beans that I think he is cute? Huh Huh???? OH dear I am going to be embarrassed now when I see him. lol Oh well. :heh: Dianne, you saw a nakie man when you had the lap band done the first time? And he was a grey hairy wrinkly kind of dude? Heh, I dont know if you want that to happen twice but I can relate to wanting it to be a younger man. But you know what they say about lightening doesnt strike twice in the same spot. You never know what you may end up seeing.

Wow, Awesome to hear Melissa!! I can't wait to get mine done next week. I wont open my mouth about the money at all when I go. Woo hoo! We shall see what happens there huh? What are they having you drink and all for your liquid phase? OK im off to the gym I actually feel like it today. :clap2: TTYL! Angie

Welcome back Magic!!! Can't wait to see you. This gang sure does rock. We have a great time together. Please try to join us in March. Angie

You are going to do great Melissa!!!! PLease let me know how it goes. I am next, I am next!!! WOOT!!! Angie

Welcome Back!!! Don't be a stranger and stay a while. We don't bite! lol I am glad you are coming back around and maybe you can come to one of our luncheon's. These girls are a bunch of fun to hang with and really can inspire you. ROCK ON NC GIRLS! WOOT!!! Angie

OK, Kim I am happy to hear your FIL is doing well. How is Curtis and his ears? Dianne, Hang in there girl!!! Everything is going to go great and you will start losing again and will catch up with Kim and I. Thanks to everyone else for the get well wishes. I am feeling better now!!! WOO that was a weird week. I have seen better ones. Hopefully I lost some weight with it too? I could only be lucky enough. Angie

Hey Melissa, Sorry to hear that about Karah. I am sure she is going to be fine. I did know a boy when growing up that had problems like this and had a pituitary gland problem that was stunning his growth. He was on hormone shots for a while. He is really tall now. It really helped him. Not saying this is her problem at all, just letting you know that I knew someone that has gone through something like this too. Hopefully its nothing and she will start growing like a weed. She is such a cute girl. We should get our girls together to play sometime. Ok I am off of here. Been playing hookie all day long since I havent felt well. hehe Gotta get ready for my weigh in tomorrow at the Y. TTYL GIRLS!! Angie

Oh well, I am sure Dr. B would be flattered to hear his patients think he is a cutie. HI DR B's office people! OH well they know me there really well and know I go here so so be it! I dont care. I am just crazy like that anyways. I would tell it to his face. And just might next week at my fill. You know what Dr. B we were talking about you on our LBT forum and talking about how cute our Dr's are. lol I wonder what he would say? Angie

You're plain silly Melissa. lol Crushes are ok unless you act on them! Married woman are allowed a little crush here and there. It's been told it helps a marriage out? lol Just an article I read not too long ago and now I can't back my story up! tee hee... I do like shorter men rather than tall but I do think something about Dr. B is cute. Not sure what yet? Angie

Exactly, Everyone has their own opinion's and we know the saying! I am sure the other Dr.'s out there are great. I do think Dr. B is kind of cute. :nervous But you girls will probably think I am crazy. lol Oh well its not the first time ive been told that. Thanks Kim for the compliment. I dont know how I have done it either. I even at a PB&J sandwich and I had cut bread out of my diet all together. I need a fill and bad!!!! :kiss Angie

Totally understand Melissa. They are hard and I wasnt calling you out. Just pointing out what a great Doctor he is and that it is worth while to pay those upfront fees for great service and a Doctor that can perform a great surgery. ROC Bauman ROCKS!

Dr. Bauman does have upfront costs but he is a damn fine Doctor. He has done my lapband surgery and now my gallbladder. He did very well and I think he is worth while on the upfront costs. You do get them back. The reason he does that is to help people out that has insurance that doesnt help pay everything and when you have that $250 at his office you gave in the beginning it really helps you in the long run. Anyone reading this that is looking for a good Doctor in Charlotte needs to know that he is a very fine Doctor and takes very good care of you. I am one of the lucky ones to have wonderful insurance and have been approved for my fill but will have to pay the Hospital the 198 fee they charge. They will reimburse you so it isnt that big of a deal to me. But coming up with over 400 dollars is hard on anyone's pocket. I think they need to look into a payment plan or to get the Hospital to go ahead and file and ask for the money later if the insurance doesnt pay it. Angie

Good to hear everyone is back to normal at your place. Seemed like for a while they were staying pretty ill. Now its my turn! :clap: I am starting to feel a little better. I slept like all day long. :notagree Now I am wide awake. :couch2: (i love these emoticons) Yes my fill is on the 17th and I am sooo excited!!! I can't wait. It's hopefully going to kick start this weight loss that I have been stuck at. I can't seem to get my butt back to eating right and exercising. I was exercising great and then got this bug. GRRR!!! Oh well. I will get it and will hopefully have this weight moving by next time we meet. Ok, going to go sit back down to the Grammy's and enjoy it now the kids are all tucked in bed. GOOD NIGHT!!! Angie

Everything is going alright. I have an intestinal virus and it is kicking my butt!!! I feel like crap. :phanvan I will survive. Everyone in the house is getting it and it really makes your tummy hurt. Good thing is, is that it didnt make me throw up like everyone else. It takes a lot to do that to me. So my band is fine. I was afraid I would throw up and cause problems. That is one thing I am afraid of is to throw up and make my band slip. ALright Im back on the couch. Going to nap a little while. TTYL!! I hope everyone is doing great. Angie

Dang, Sorry Melissa!! Did you tell them that others with Dr. B have the same insurance and could they try to file it? That is terrible. That is a bunch of money to come up with all up front. I will pre register tomorrow and see what they say to me. I will ask a bunch of questions about it too. I will let you all know what I come up with. Angie

I so appreciate you guys!!!! Thank you so much. I will be there. Promise. :eek: And we will all enjoy our bowls of soup. lol Angie

Melissa that is such a great picture!!! Where did you have them taken at? We need a family pic like that. Never done it. :eek: I have felt so bad on how I look that I havent wanted to get a picture made of me at all. But now I am starting to feel like one. :grouphug: Angie
