Welcome wiseman! I too am in CO and was banded May 2006 by Dr Kirshenbaum in Aurora. Welcome!

Congrats on both the weight loss and the pregnancy!

Angie!! Where are you girl?? Update please!

Weclome welcome welcome! I am SO glad you came out of lurking and joined us!!! :clap2:

<p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for the gentle reminder Michelle. I know that the 76 pounds I have lost this past year are nothing to sneeze at but dammit I want more!</p>

I agree with this 100%. I could never (and still can't) wrap my head around having surgery in a country that you can't even drink the water in. Like you, I suppose that is just my own personal hang up.

Ummm yeah... I'm here. I'm a bit bitter about my weight right now so I won't go there... Congrats to all you losers!!

MAL!!! Congrats on joining bandland sister!! Yup, surgery is Wednesday for my knee... not a moment too soon!! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers!

Congrats Kim!!! I have been stuck at 205ish for 3 months and probably will be until I can excercise again. I am having my knee surgery on Wednesday so hopefully I will be back in action by July!

Yes! I quit 01/01/07 and haven't looked back. I feel soooo much better not smoking!

Good luck to you today Mal!! I am sending good mojo your way! post as soon as you can so we know how you are. Each and every one of us is there for you. :clap2: Lap_dancer... I'm looking forward to meeting you!!

Yay Jen!! It's such good excercise. I hope to be back on skates by July!

Welcome Sheree and congrats on your surgery date!

Thanks Alex. I agree... can't we all just get along? I suppose there will always be those who love to bicker though... thank goodess we have R&R for that! Party on Garth.

Mal... tell Dr K Amy said hi when you go in tomorrow... I think it freaks him out how many of his patients I know! Thank you for your kind words about my knee surgery. I just want it over with dammit!! I hope to get to meet you in a few weeks!

Susan... I never left! Been here all along! :clap2:

Checking in here too... 204 this morning.

Angie.... I think I lost about 5 pounds in the week following my first fill. That's the most I have ever lost in a week. I usually average about 2 pounds or so.

Poll re-opened.... vote on!

Thanks for reopening the poll Alexandra!

One suggestion I have about fills: After he fills you he will ask you to sit on the side of the table and drink water. The way my belly fat rolls, sitting with a needle poking out of me is VERY uncomfortable so I always stand to drink my water. Works MUCH better for me! Good luck to you girls! Mal... I'll be thinking about you tomorrow!

I also thought it strange that the poll was shut down so quickly. Can it be reopened?

While I was sad to see Melinda go last night I am totally looking forward to the finale now! I would be thrilled with either Blake or Jordin winning. Melinda was just too old fashioned and the other 2 are much more "today".

I had that problem as well. Turned out I had a leak in my tubing and had to have it replaced. Good luck... hope it's just a fluke!

Congrats Alex!!!
