NEWME2008

Hey everyone I am also for the Bronx.. I was banded November 2008. That was a very exciting day for me. Needless to say the band did not work for me. I am NOT upset a little sad at times because I had set goals and dreams. I am still working with my doctor to see other options. I have not been on this site in a very long time and the only reason why I can back today is I need a little support from my lap band family. I hope everyone is doing good with there journey and hope to be talking to any of you soon…. Dawn

Hey all I don’t know if any one is lookin to buy a imitation magic bullet but if any one lives near a J.C. Penny they have something one sale call the 5-in-1 Power Blender with attachments and its on sale for $19.98 and you can also buy it on line. I hear so many people say this helped them in there puree stages but the real bullet cost around $100.00. I just thought I could save us some money. But if any one has this and can give some insight that would be great. I would hate to but a piece of junk.

Well this is it my paper work went in Monday!!! :thumbup: I have started my journey since November 15th 2007 and it is now October 22, 2008. The Doctors Medical Assistant gave me a date of November 14th :wub::wub:can you believe it’s almost year to date from when I started. But I just wanted everyone to keep there fingers and toes crossed because she said I should here back from her on Monday.:thumbs_up: I gone on so many web sites and read so much that I’m getting nervous if this really happens. :smile2: I really want to post a success story with all my goals that I have accomplished. And my first mini goal is to run on the treadmill for at least 15 minutes straight with someone calling 911,:blushing::sad_smile: (LMAO) because BABY I’m a mess just after 1 minute of running.:crying::scared2: And of course my super goal is the weight, but everything will come in its time. And its funny because when the assistant called me she was like you have stayed the same weight for one year. She said she has never had anyone do that, so in the back of my mind I was like great I should have made some changes in my weight.:sad: .......Have one little conceited and selfish goal..:wub::rolleyes2: 2 years ago I brought a pair of seven jeans from lane Bryant now ladies if you shop in lane Bryant you know how pricy they are. Well I brought these jeans in a size 18:scared2: for $25.00 with all my coupons original price was $90.00 and when I wore them they were skin skin skin tight :ohmy:I only wore them once but I was workin it that night I was told.:thumbup: So my conceited goal is to get back into them and work it out again… LOL:blush::laugh::w00t: Will keep you all posted.... Later Dawn

Hello all I just wanted to ask a question. I wear spanks from lane Bryant and I were them all the time. If and when I get banded can I still were them? Because these babies are a life saver they really hold you in and make things look smooth. I wish I knew about them when I had my son because the girdle thing I could not do all day, but spanks I could do! So my question again is can you were them after being band? Will it hurt the band? Will it move out of place? Thanks to who ever answer this thread because I know your advice will be honest……
