Are there twiiter instructions on the site? I couldn't even figure out how to update my status, or find people I was looking for.

Hello!

When you log in - you'll go to your home page on Twitter, just type in the box at the top under "What are you doing" and then hit Update. That will update your status.

To find people, look at the very top right hand part of the page. You'll see "Find People". Click on that and you can enter full names or screen names. You can also go through the tabs on that Find People screen to look others up by email addresses.

ok - no one will post...I will..I think that's hysterical.

The pig farmers are up in arms because sales are down, but all I want is bacon. So I think we have to call it HZ 1200- JTW - PIG FLU. Figure as Americans we would lose interest long before we get to Pig Flu.

I was fine until someone let that moron Joe Biden in front of microphone. "Don't go on the subways" Really???? So we should all sit in our plastic bubbles and wait to die. I mean how could someone be in public office for as many years as he has and still be so CLUELESS????

LOL - too funny! I completely agree with you on Joe Biden!

I'll be daring this week - heading out to the Offshore Technology Conference on Wednesday...in a crowd of thousands..with NO surgical mask! :thumbup: We have had several schools close here because they THINK one person MAY have the pig flu..not because its been confirmed..but a kids got sick. These schools are closing for 2 weeks. I dont have any kids - but what do the parents do for those 2 weeks??

I joined awhile back, but pretty much forgot about it til a friend brought it up a few weeks ago. My link is in my signature.

Over the weekend DH wasn't feeling well, so I let him pick.

and we ended up watching a Saw marathon. Ick. I don't mind the actual plot of the movie - it's actually well written. It's just...well...ICK, EW, GROSS with a little OMG & WTF thrown in.

LOL - I dont know why, but I'm addicted to the Saw movies. My cousin and I have gone to each one on opening night.

This past weekend went to see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Was actually a cute movie. I thought it would be one of those you-wont-ever-be-happy-and-youll-die-alone-if-you're-not-married movies..but it wasnt. I dont think I'd go see it again, but it does make you laugh and cry (oh yes, major chick flick).

Saw "Obsessed" with Beyonce the week before. TERRIBLE. Awful movie. Horrible "acting" and you knew exactly how it would end. Sorry, but who is "obsessed" with someone the first 3 minutes they meet him and goes berserk? Whatever. Complete waste of money. :thumbup:

Finally past the plateau! Guess the 2nd fill is doing its job. :thumbdown:

Hello yall...well im gonna keep this thread close to me b/c even though i enjoy talkin to fellow members from all over, there is no place like home, so thats that..

I have been doing the 90 day pre op required by aetna started in dec initially but things came up in jan so i had to extend the visits and 4/30/09 was my last visit...so now im waiting on my case mgr to submit to insurance.....

I reside in arlington......the new home for the COWBOYS!!

My doctor is Dr. Marsden who is apart of the true results team in the dfw area.

My Case mgr is from Lap Band Solutions who does all the hoop and loops jumping to get approved!

This will be my first surgery ever.....and look foward to a 75-80lbs lost at the most...

This was my first surgery ever too. When I first started the process of going through tests and all the initial appointments, I was nervous...but the surgeon, staff and hospital staff were fantastic and I was really relaxed on the morning of my surgery.

I'm down in Houston - but definitely a Cowboys fan! Especially Zach Thomas!

Best wishes!

Well I am now BANDED!! Did have to take the pain medicine a couple of times last night but it's getting better. Yahooo!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Hello! Another Houstonian here. I was banded 1/22/09 by Dr. Robert Marvin at Methodist Hospital.

WOOHOO...hit one-derland! :smile2:

Mine have gone down too...I didnt have much to start with - was a full C, now B fits just fine. Bras were the first piece of clothing I had to buy in a smaller size. One good thing - now I can get all those cute bras in all the different designs..LOL..no more boring tan, white and black...now I have polka dots, zebra stripe...fun stuff! I still have a ways to go and I can only hope the band size goes down, not the cup size!

Missed my goal by 2lbs..hope to get back on track for the 4th of July goal!

Wow. Got mine today and it really kicked my butt. I couldn't even keep up with the DVD. It was "only" 30 minutes. I'm dead!! Hopefully if I use it a few times a week, I'll at least get to where I can keep up. Definitely works the legs and stomach - but also the arms!

JennyT-

You will get there -I promise. You are only out two months! I struggled too and then you get to the right fill level,you learn to follow the bandster rules, your emotional eating subsides and the weight drops off! Good Luck to everyone! Happy Tuesday!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I need to start new tomorrow. Nothing lost in almost 2 weeks now. Hopefully it'll change soon...not going to reach my April Fools goal, but I still have time for the 4th of July goal!

Ok. Well I ordered it today. Should have it in 7-10 days. I'll post after I try it out and letcha know if it was worth it. :cursing:. Thanks!

Has anyone here tried the Firm Wave? I'm thinking of buying it - but for $100, wanted to see if there were any opinions on the boards here.

I havent lost anything in a week and am getting very discouraged. I figure maybe a new "gizmo" that I can alternate with the Wii Fit would maybe get the scale moving again.

Any comments?

Thanks!

ooh - wish I could do that! I'm slowing WAAY down in weight loss. :rolleyes2: Im only down 1 more pound...updating my info.

I am so psyched!!!!! I Dropped another 5lbs in the past two weeks!! 10 more lbs to my ultimate goal!!!!! I LOVE MY BAND!:scared2::smile::scared2::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile::smile:

I updated mine. Finally the scale is moving again. For several days I was stuck. I really have to be better about exercising on a regular basis.

I've posted on here regarding my surgeon but in no way have I been compensated for such. I strictly gave kudos and listed my experience. It is the responsibility of the reader to research and accurately drawn their own educated conclusion. I have heard negatives about other band doctors in my area but I have never slammed or advertised negatively about any of them. I’ve seen plenty of posts on here for other doctors in my area that I have never heard a positive word about but it’s not for me to oppose that. If someone goes out of their way to contact me through personal message, I’ll certainly share what I’ve heard. Is this considered negative behavior? I’ve had two other friends banded here in Houston and they both used different doctors. One had a great experience; one did not and only had her band for a year and had to have it removed. It is the responsibility of the bander to follow post-op treatment, etc. to ensure the best result. There are some doctors who do their part to perfection and the patient may not and a negative experience can happen and visa versa. I do appreciate you sharing this information. There are a few of us honest people left out there and I can assure you, I’ve never been paid for posting. I do it for my own enjoyment! I must admit though…..the extra money sure would help combat that LB Loan I’ll have to pay on for the next few years! Hee Hee. Seriously, it’s sad that people have resorted to such behavior. Research people!!! Get your own info.

I've done the same - even on my "name" over there. I had a great experience with my surgeon and his staff - so I referred friends and family members. Ive never been paid for posting or referrals. I know I researched surgeons in my city before picking one - went to more than 1 seminar and talked to people at work who were also looking into the surgery. Hopefully everyone looks to more than just 1 person or site for their information. Great post here and I agree, this topic should be a sticky.

I'm in too!! :biggrin:
