Hey girl,

Good luck tomorrow! I had my four hour class yesterday (Monday) and then tomorrow I have my pre-op testing and then an appointment with the nurse. Then Thursday my DH and I have one to meet the surgeon. I am as excited as you. I start my two week diet tomorrow. I made my cabbage soup tonight. I know I am going to be so grumpy unless God steps in to buffer my words. I know my sugar is going to be so low. Where are you climbing on tanks? Ten days away...sounds familiar. lol. The house was listed today, and we have people coming tomorrow. I can only pray that it will sell. Are you EATING, EATING, EATING? I hope you are well. Take care. I need my beauty rest for the long exausting day ahead of me tomorrow. Good Night! -Donita

Hey from Jackson, MI. I am to be banded on the 29th of May in Richmond, VA. We are stationed at Ft. Lee, VA. I know clear liquids are anything that you can see through at room temp. Best wishes,

Hey Delo,

Native of Jackson, MI here. We are stationed in VA. I was just home for 9 days. Returned last night. Boy are you guys all going through a lot. Everything has changed so much...economy, structures and such. I will say though that there is no better place to be banded or to have bypass than in Zoo. They have been in the field for almost as long as I have been alive. How did surgery go? Are you able to keep liquids down? Best wishes and speedy recovery.

How much have you lost so far?

Hey there. Do I understand that you weren't banded on the date you thought you would be? Were you banded since then? If not you are doing awesome on your own. Keep up the great work!

Did you get your date yet? or did you mean you won't even get a date until the 21st of May?

I am sooo sorry. I have been visiting my mom in Michigan and she doesn't have a computer. We are at Ft. Lee VA. I have a bmI of less than 40, but over 35. EAT! EAT! EAT! I did. I knew I couldn't lose all of it on my own and I was only 10 lbs from the 100 lbs over. Then to find out I only needed the BMI of 35. Oh well. I hope to lose it. Thank you for being there for your husband so he could serve. When will you be able to find out more info? have a wonderful Mother's Day!

Oh my!!! I have been in the 1950's for 10 days. I have been visiting my mother who refuses to get a computer. Sorry I haven't written. I hope you have a great Mother's Day. I start my classes on Monday. Nurse appointment Tuesday. Meet the surgeon with my DH on Thursday. Same day to start two week Liver shrinking diet. Then the big dy in two weeks. Are you well?

Been gone for 10 days. Do you have a date yet? No, we haven't played anywhere except taverns and post. I will try to call you at a reasonable hour. Happy Mother's Day.

Oh thank you for the nice comment. Yes, I am living for May 29th. How about you?

Congrats. I am May 29th also. Best wishes!

Welcome. I hope you are feeling well. Keep us posted on your progress.

Welcome! When are you getting banded?

No one will tell me yet. They said they will tell me when I have to start it. Right now I am just doing lowfat and have cut out pop. I hadn't had one for 6 weeks until last night. It was too carbonated for me. I am so glad you got your fill. I think it will fill like a new start or rejuvination. Put baby girl in a stroller and walk your way thin!!!

I am being banded on the 29th. So lead by example.lol

You are very welcome. How is you liquid diet coming along? Are you super excited? Great job on the 44 lbs!

I start mine on the 16th!!! Are trying hard to be good now? Exercising? I am on a mission of 18 (3 mi. per day, except Sundays) miles per week until surgery. I will have 120 miles. I started on my daughters 19th birthday. We had the tornados yesterday, so I am behind. I will have to double up some time soon. Have a great night.

Hey Band Twin,

It is our new birthday and I'd be happy to have a twin. I have followed your journey and your pictures and you appear to be like me already. The life of the party, even at picture time as long as you can pose behind someone else. I had the cleavage to my neck until 2001. I had a breast reduction and I could breath when I laid down. Well, now I am too fat and still can't breath without the CPAP. SOON TO BE FIXED!!! Congrats again!

Oh that is wonderful. How long ago were you banded? I don't get mine until May 29th. I have to live vicariously through you all. )

Hi,

Are you getting banded with Dr. Bautista? Surgery at St. Mary's? I am and I have a date of 5-29. Donita

Wow! That is a story with a happy ending. I am being banded May 29th. I will have waited 10 weeks just after the approval. Let alone all of the testing and other stuff that started in Dec. o7. God is great though. I have so many little things that have come up that I might not have felt like doing if I was already banded. Who knows. I am just trying to talk myself out of being depressed that I have to wait so long. I am just glad to be alive today. I was on my way to Best Buy in Colonial Heights, VA. It was raining so hard that I couldn't see to drive on the highway, so I went home instead. At the time that I would have arrived...they were hit by a tornado! God isn't good, He's GREAT! Point of the story. I CAN wait another month...happily. Are you feeling better even just having the 40 lbs off? I think I would feel great just with 20-30 off. I will talk to you tomorrow. Let me know how your fill works for you? Are you eating too much or is it just the wrong foods that has caused you not to lose? Good luck and good night.

Well???? Are you getting so excited that you can't stand it? Nervous? Are you on any special diet? Are you being good if you are?

Hi and welcome. As you can tell I am an Army wife too. Well, at least until November. We will be retiring after 22 1/2 years. Iam getting banded May 29th. how about you? Tricare was awesome. Any problems for you?

Yeah that worked. We are FRIENDS. You can never have too many.
