Cerrin, I also do the belly dancin videos... it reeaaally works out the midsection. I recorded the Shimmy exercises on FitTV. I do em about every other day. It's really working!

Why is it that you feel pain if you over eat? Is the food pushing against the band...making it painful?

Congratulations on your 20lbs weightloss! That is amazing to lose so much in such a short time! My condolences on the loss of your dog. Atleast he is no longer suffering.

Shelly, Try the sugar-free Red Bull...it's chocked full of vitamin B's. It'll boost your imune system and keep you on your feet!

I'm going to meet you guys out there too. I can't really do a lot of walking due to low back pain but I would like meet everyone. I finally was able to speak with Melissa today! It is very difficult to get through to that number! So she said they received my paperwork and that I was a candidate for the surgery. Unfortunantly she couldnt get me into the may seminar ...but I will be in it for June. I tried to get here *squeeze* me in for May but she said it was aaaalll booked and no one really drops out. ((hmmm wonder if I could "sneak in" :thumbup:)). Will you be meeting at the Juice Bar at 9am? Yvette

Yep it's a rap song....here is the link: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XN14Kdo6PZE&feature=related]YouTube - Apple Bottom Jeans T-Pain[/ame]

I've been Youtubing that song all day long! Singing it at work too! LOL .....apple bottom jeans...boots wiff da ferrrrr......

Hecks Yeah you have a right to be Annoyed! Tell him to eat the sh***t outside and away from you while you go through this! Shame on him! :cursing:

Hi Everyone, I finally met the good Dr. Hoffman! He is very much passionate about the LAP band systems and is even offering the Realize (i'm going with the LAP). I gave my paperwork to my Dr and she's going to fill out what she needs and send it in.... now the waiting begins :cheers2:. Unfortunantly I wont be able to meet with you guys at Delaware...maybe next time!

You probably wont get this meessage in time but its Friday 7th at 10 am ...over at BGH. Someone from that office called me today while I was out. I think just to confirm the appointment. I hope to meet you there!

Cynthia, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You are truly an inspiration! Will you be at BGH on Friday?

I have BC/BS and called them last week to see what I need to do. The Rep told me that the Doc would have to call in a referral for surgery. She also mentioned that there are strict criteria (which I already knew from their website). But she did give me the # to the Medical Dept to give to the Doc. She said that Medical would only speak with the Doctors. BigGurl

Make sure you are using the chopping blade and less ingredients... It won't blend if you over fill it... Have you ever been successful using it? It maybe a defective bullet.

Buffalogirl see if you can get in on the 7th? It's at 10am

Loraine, I will be looking foward to meeting you and friend! How much have you lost so far with your band?

I'll wear a T-shirt with BIG GURL written on the front of it! Brubear, I was schedualed for Friday the 7th for the pre-seminar with Lisa and Dr Hoffman. There well be other people there who are interested in the procedure. The 6th must be the Seminar for those who signed up for it last month or something. Oh and I was also told that the next Seminar would be a couple months from the March 7th date and that would be the one I would be in. I think the pre-seminar is something new they are starting to see who all is interested and to get information out there. Will any of you be in the March 7th pre-seminar?

I like the idea of Preping with South Beach than with a Liquid fast...yuk ! BigGurl

I'm schedualed to go the preSeminar on 3-7-08. I'm glad to read a lot of positive responses about Dr. Hoffman. I spoke with his Assistant Lisa...she is very nice! BigGurl (soon to be LilGurl :biggrin2:)
