Hey Fellow North Dakotans~ I'm still here. Just lurking around every day. I still haven't gone through my surgery, but I haven't given up hope. Hope you all have fun meeting...and maybe next time I'll be able take some time off to join you. That would be so cool. Anywho, hope you are all doing well. Keep me posted on how things go with your Get Together.

It's a very supportive place to be, and there will always be someone here to help you out. Oh yeah, good luck with your 2 week diet also. :eek: See ya around.

Hi~ Just wanted to welcome you to LBT and wish you luck on your WLS Journey.

Hello there~ Just wanted to take the time to welcome you to LBT. I'm also a frequent lurker here. I just love this place though. Everyone here is so supportive and friendly. Anywho, I wish you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. You'll do great!

Hi~ Just wanted to say welcome to LBT. You've come to a great place for support and friendship. I don't post as often as I should, but I still come back to see what everyone else has to say. I love it here. Also, congrats on your successful surgery. Take care.

Hey Dave~ Just wanted to say good luck to you on your journey to WLS. I know how you feel about the pain thing after surgery. I've never ever been through any kinda surgery, so I'm a little scared. But, I think it will all be worth it in the end. You'll do great! *Good Luck*

Hey there Maggie~ Another dating service for BBW would be www.bbpeoplemeet.com. I'm actually trying it myself. My sister paid it for me with an online check for 9.95 a month or something like that. I thought, what the heck, I'll give it a try. I've been a member for about 2 weeks and I do get alot of flirts and all, but haven't found any to fit me yet. Maybe I'm being just too picky. LOL. I have no idea. There are some good looking men there too. When you first sign up, you'll get to see who's viewing you, but you can't see who flirts or sends messages, which makes you just wanna pay for the dang thing. LOL. Anywho, let me know if you try it out, I'll add you to my buddies list. I still haven't tried the chatting part yet. You gotta have a buddy to do that. LOL. I was getting all kinds of chat requests when I didn't have a membership, now that I have one, no one ever wants to chat with me. Haha. It's a pretty cool site though. La_madam, I'm interested in your brother too! Haha. We might have to have an auction here for him huh?

Welcome to LBT Sunshine! Hope that you enjoy your stay here & good luck on your WLS Journey!!

Welcome to LBT Tricia! Wow, you're doing great already! Congrats on the successful surgery & the weight loss! I hope that when I get my surgery, that mine goes just as smooth as yours. Hope that you enjoy your stay here, the people here are great!

Hey Joanna~ Welcome to LBT. You've come to the right place! Everyone here is so supportive and friendly and any questions you might have will always be answered here. The 25th isn't very far away, I wish you a successful surgery! I can't imagine how anxious you must be. Good luck to you!

Oh gosh, wasn't that the roughest storm ever. I'm in the Turtle Mountains right now. We got so much snow & the kids are on their 3rd day without going to school. That means school free for 6 days in total because there isn't school on Monday and my sister runs a daycare...so can you imagine how crazy it is here right now. *LOL.* My brother in law left his vehicle in Minot, and my brother called to tell him that there was a big ol' tree sitting on top of it the next morning! I've lived here for 28 years and I've never seen anything like it. We were out of electricity from 12:30 p.m Wednesday, to 7:00 a.m. Thursday. Kinda makes one appreciate what they do have. It was pretty fun though, we stayed warm, but I'm sure any longer we would have gotten pretty cold. My parents were telling us stories of how they used to live like that when we were younger. They made it sound so easy. *LOL* Well, my fellow North Dakotans, bundle up. They say it's going to be a long winter. We didn't even get to enjoy our Fall season! That sucks. Ahh well, this is an unpredictable state though isn't it. Expect the unexpected, as they say.

I can't imagine how nervous, excited & anxious you must be feeling right now. I wish you luck tomorrow, and here's to a successful surgery and a speedy recovery!! :Bunny Keep us posted. Take Care.

Yayy! Congratulations on the date! :Bunny You'll do great. Just keep thinking of how long you wanted this and now it's finally going to happen. I'm sure that will help you with the 10 pounds that you need to lose. If not, just "Atkins" it for 2 weeks. LOL. Good luck to you!!

Hiya Glitter! Congratulations!! I sure know what you are talking about. I've been on this journey for almost 5 years now, and sometimes, finding the funding to pay for this surgery is the hardest part! I've tried everything you've tried too, with no luck. But I know it will happen for me, so I choose not to give up, just like you. Your story does give me a little inspiration to go by. NEVER GIVE UP! Anywho, congratulations again, and I wish you a successful surgery! Hope you enjoy the forum, it's has a great source of information, and the people here are so willing to help out in anyway they can. Take Care.

Thanks sharing the picture. It truly is an inspiration. Congratulations on your 18 month Bandiversary!! You look G-R-E-A-T!! Best wishes and continued success to you!!
