Just checked my schedule and I will be there next Tuesday for sure!!

Hey LBT peeps! I just this second realized today is my bandiversary! Holy crap... how did I miss that?? To Celebrate I thought I would list the things that I can (and do!) do now and my goals for the next year. 1) I am down 75 pounds! 2) I am wearing a size 12 dress to the Doll Ball on Sunday (I WILL post pics!) 3) I am in a size 14 for the most part in everyday clothes. 4) I discovered my love of roller derby. Kicking ass and takin' names! 5) I have made some amazing friends here at LBT. 6) I have my freakin' life back. I don't sit (okay lay) around in front of the TV stuffing my face anymore. I am out LIVING LIFE! Goals for the next year 1) Have a baby with my amazing husband. 2) Be the best person I can be. 3) Lose 35 more pounds. I think that about covers the basics. My surgery date for my knee surgery has changed to May 23 (insurance issue) and I will be out of commision for at least 6 weeks after that. Yuck! I can't wait to strap my skates and pads back on and knock some bitches down! Much love to you all from lil' ole me.

<p>As a fellow self payer (like you Sheila) I had my port REPLACED in the OT under general anethesia. My doc offered to do it in the office under a general (he wasn't too thrilled about that idea, neither was I) I declined and he did it in the OR. The recovery was easy... the anethesia was the worst part.</p>

Hi! I remember back until I was about a month post op I had swelling in my belly area. It was worse at the end of the day after sitting at my desk all day at work. The next Dr K support group meeting is May 8th at 6:30 at his office. Hope to see a bunch of you there!

I tan and my scars aren't red. I think it just depends on the person.

Having knee surgery in 2 weeks, May 10. Knee hurts like hell! Ball is May 6th... I post pics for sure!

OMG.... my poor virginal eyes! :faint:

Hey Vegas peeps! I (and thousands of my fellow roller girls) will be decending upon your fine city in August. I am so freaking excited!

I am planning on coming to the meeting in May as well. Looking forward to meeting my LBT friends!

I'm here! Life has been pretty busy for me lately between roller derby stuff and getting ready for surgery in 2 weeks I am fried!

Congrats SillyWilly!

I had an MRI last week and had zero problems with my band! Good luck!

<gag> ummm inspirational songs? Are you freaking kidding me? :faint:

I decided on a name but am reluctant to reveal it until I formally register it. There is tough competition out there for names! I will let you know in a couple of weeks though when I do it! My pic won't be on the web page until I am a bouting skater. Working my way up the ranks as we speak. My knee injury has sidelined me a bit and now I am facing surgery on the 10th to repair the damage I have done to it. I will get there though!

Here's a pic of the dress I bought yesterday Size 12!! Also found out today that i am facing knee surgery on May 10th. Shouldn't be too big of a deal but it sucks none the less! Keep me in your thoughts!

My vote is for Blake!

Hey Colorado! I am here too! I live in Brighton and was banded almost 1 year ago and have lost 75 pounds so far. A get together sounds great!

Torrid is my fave... in fact I just got this dress yesterday.. in a size 12! Holy crap!

Oh my!!!!!!!

I can't say enough good things about Dr Kirshenbaum either! He is the BEST!

Maybe we could try and plan some sort of get together this summer??

Dammit... I popped in here hoping for pics!

Kim! Is that your beautiful self in your avatar?? You look AWESOME girly!! Paladin! Tell 3Loves hi for me... sounds like she is on the right path. Good luck with your move! I am going DRESS SHOPPING tomorrow! We have a big end of the year party for roller derby, the Doll Ball... it will be our prom! We are even having prom-style pics taken a the event. Anywho... it's semi formal and I haven't a thing to wear. I can't wait to go shopping! A year ago I cringed at the thought of buying clothes... what a difference 75 pounds makes!

Awwww thanks Mal!!!

Sending you happy thoughts Carlene!
