Shalee04

I will getting a regular flu shot like I have for a few years now. BUT I wont be gettnig a swine flu shot. I was talking a few months back with my PS Dr and asked him what his thoughts were and he said he wont be getting one anytime soon either as he believes there hasn't been enough research done on it and it's being thrown out here too fast. He wants to see more reasearch done on it. and that's what I was thinking also. Just my 2 cents.... And as for the whole Shalee/Kelly name thing. My name is Kelly. When I signed on to AOL way back about 17-18 years ago I wanted a "Cool" name to go into chat room with (yep and back in those days it was 3 bucks an hour to chat if you went over your alloted minutes, WHICH I only did one month) Anyways, Shalee is the name of an indian princess in some romance novels I used to read( Yep, sappy romance novels) hehehe I thought it was a very pretty name, So that was my screen name...... and has been ever since on my email addys and such. OK back to pruning my dead branches in the yard...... Have a great evening everyone.....

Robin, wohooo look at you , congratulations!! you have done an amazing job!!! Ok heres a before and after of me and the hubby..... the first one is from Sept 2007 at disneyland for our anniversary.. the 2nd one is Oct 2009 on our way to Disney on ice for part of our anniversary.

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. I had mine done almost a year ago and love my new body. :-)

Hello everyone, I haven't been on at all much lately. I was gone most of the weekend. Friday I took my hubby to see Star Wars in concert, they show clips of all 6 movies and an Orchastra plays the star wars music live. . He loved it, Me I tolerated it. :-) But before the show I was able to meet up with a friend I havent seen in 25 years. We found each other on facebook. It made my whole weekend to see her, we can't wait to visit again, but for much longer then 30 minutes. Affter the show we spent the night at my in-laws house, had breakfast with them then drove back home. Last night we went to Disney on Ice Princess Classics. I loved it, I love ice skating and the fairy tale princesses. :-) He actually liked the show also, I think we were the only people there that had no kids. The lady sitting next to me with her 2 yr old was like, OH how sweet of your hubby to bring you, mine wouldnt come. :-) I love my hubby:wub: Heres a couple pix from my weekend, 1st is me and my hubby,,hehe I mean chewbacca, the next is me and my friend denise that I met up with. and then Wes and I on our way to Disney on ice. And yes I froze the whole 2 hours of the show. Brrrrr Have a good day everyone, I have to pay the bills and get to the grocery store. Kelly

WOHOOOOOOOO Ebony, you go girl!!! Feels awsome doesn't it. :thumbup:

Run run run away, and don't look back..... A landlord can't charge you for painting a rental if you have lived there more then 2 years, unless it has outrageous damage. They also can't ask you to replace or repair anything in the place as renters, that's not your responsibility, its hers as the owner/landlord. Sorry she sounds wacko. I would run very very far away from her..... just my 2 cents.... :smile:

Hi Everyone, Tracy, Hope the Dr can get Macy in and make her feel better soon. It's so hard when our little kids are sick and not feeling well. Well I am off to get the tire fixed on my car. and then it's soup for lunch.

What ever came of your slip???

I just found out today that my band has slipped upwards also. My have changed insurance co's since being banded almost 2 yrs ago. I went on Kaiser thru my hubbys work in Feb. asked for a baritric Appt. and after alot of BS and talking to more pople then I cared to, I was told I would be contacted. Well I was, 7 months later for an appt. I went to it last week, after talking to him, he scheduled an upper GI as I requested, becasue in the last few months or so I have gotten stuck more then I ever have, and it feels different. So I have my upper GI test, and sure enough its slipped up. No small pouch at all in there. So my main problem is, my husbands work is changing insurance providers, and as of Oct. 1st I wont have Kaiser anymore. Thanks alot Kaiser for taking 7 months to schedule appts. $#$#$^

Yep, for some reason, I'm not liking her at all.

HAHHAHA Cute... Ok I will jopin the challenge, but I'm not holding my breath to lose 10 lbs. I have been stuck at 175 forever. I had my upper GI on wednesday and the radiologist told me it didn't look normal, so Kaiser calls today and says that my band is too high up, and they will call me with an appt to come in to talk to the dr. Now this is the same Dr5 that it has taken me 7 months to get an appt with, When I went on my husband plan in Feb I asked for a bariatric appt and was given a whole bunch of BS about No coverage for bariatric, Well long story short, they have it, just had to drive 3 hours to get there, no prob I say, then it took almost 7 months to get the dang Appt. Now theres a problem and guess what, hubbys stupid work is changing providers and will no longer have Kaiser as of,,, Oct 1st. *^%^$#@%^ So I am waiting to talk to this kaiser dr to see what he thinks, I also have a call into my Band Dr that placed my band 2 yrs ago and I had the test results faxed to his office and want to see what he thinks. It will cost me $350 to chat with him, but I value his opinion, I really really like him, But for him to fix my band wont be covered under insurance, old or new... Sigh...... Maybe the stress will cause me to lose 10 lbs,,hehehe J/K not how I want to lose weight. Ok have a good day everyone.

""Poking my head in" Hi everyone. Hey Pooly, my FB game playing buddy, hehehe Plain my Mafia buddy, Ebony, hey I just replied to your email, sorry it took so long, things going on here. Glad to see you started this thread, I enjoyed the other one for a while. Krotk, so sorry about your doggie, they do become family to us. My little guy had surgery 5 weeks ago and my in-laws think we are nuts for doing it, they said "hes just a dog" well actually No he's my baby. :-) Fab, I'm a greeys fan and wouldnt you knw it, I fell asleep the last 20 minutes, @#$$^#%^ good thing I have it taped. Ok everyone have a great day.

I just purchased a Natori sports bra at Nordstroms. $42.00 but it holds the girls in and it doesnt give me a uniboob either. :-)

Mimi, your dr and my Dr must be brothers. Mine wants me to weight 120 and 135! HAHAHHAHAHHAHA I tell him everytme I see him, it isnt going to happen. He gets mad at me, tells me I'm not trying hard enough and to come in every 6 weeks for a fill. Well doc, I'm not coming in every 6 weeks at $350.00 a fill. I dont need a fill anyways every 6 weeks. I'm 5'6 and my own goal I set is 155. I'm at 173-175 right now, have been at this weight for almost a year, so he sees me as a failure also. Uhmmm I guess he forgets I have lost about 80lbs. I dont think thats failing. And if I never lose another pound I'm ok at this weight, AS long as I dont gain a single pound. hehehehe Freaking Dr, I told him I would look like an anorexic skeliton at 120-130....

I poked my head in the PJTP thread a few days ago, and quickly backed right out and ran far far away from there... Hi Cindy....

Way to go Jenn, they say a pix is worth a 1000 words!!! I too have to pull out before pix and see what everyone else sees. I still see myself as FAT!! and that pisses my hubby off when I say it.

Mini, its amazing how much better we feel with the drains out. Your pix look wonderful. Your going to love shopping for cute sexy undies now!! wohooooo

Ask away... :-)

CONGRATULATIONS Ebony!!! :bored::thumbup::wub::smile2::w00t: Feels great doesn't it. You have worked very hard and deserve to be proud of yourself!!

Happy Monday all. We went and visited the in-laws this weekend to try and discuss Chrismas with them, they always want to do a HUGE extravaganza with tons of gifts and we have been telling them all year we wont be participating in a huge thing. We asked them to tone it down as the economy is bad, I'm not working, had 2 surgeries this year, our dog just had surgery, and hubby had a 25% pay cut and hours cut and we are not going to go into more debt over christmas. so his mom gets all upset, as does his sister, his dad is cool. But damn those 2 women all they want is gimmee gimmee gimmee gifts. Sheesh Sometimes I just want to go away over christmas so I dont have to deal with those 2. Ok venting over...... I have an upper GI scheduled Wednesday morning to check my band. it has taken me 7 months to get an Appt with a bariatric Dr thru so cal kaiser. when my cobra ran out from my job I went on hubbys kaiser, but dang to get a band doc appt is crazy. Oh and Now his work has switched insurance plans and as of Oct 1st we no longer have kaiser. Grrrrrr so back to square one with bariatric drs. At least Im getting the GI to check band. I can always see my Surgeon who placed the band, but he charges $350.00 to do my fills and any tests he schedules arent covered thru kaiser. so its all self pay. Hopefully the new insurance will have bariatric covereage of some type..... I havent gained, but I havent lost anyting is so long..... OK time to get some stuff done around here

Suzie, it was me, sorry I was craving something sweet at 2 am.... hehehehe

HAHA you sound like my husband, I was crying when the lady who lost her family told her story, and my hubby was looking at me like I'm nuts. (ok I am) hehehehhe I haven't made any picks yet either.

Hi Julie, Yes I know where Wasco is. Actually this town isnt so bad, I just have to get used to it. And I agree with the bugs and humity, when hubby was in Virginia for 6 months it was beautiful and greeen and like you say, humid and buggy,,,hehehehe I will also take our earthquakes anyday over hurricanes and tornados.
