I went to playmakers shoe store in Lansing, MI and they looked at my feet and the way I stood etc and put me in some Brooks Beasts tennis shoes and they are the best tennis shoes EVER!!!

I got my surgery date. July 27th. I guess that gives me 3 weeks to PIG OUT! hahahahaa. What kind of stuff did you guys eat during your last supper syndrome???

two words... DUCK TAPE! hahahahahahahaha

Me and my super hubby chose My Best Friend by Tim McGraw for our wedding song and made it the theme of our wedding. During the Bouqet Toss you should play "Girls just wanna have fun" by Cindy Lauper. Gets all the women going! hahaha Dad daughter dance "I'm everything I am because you love me" by Celine Dion.

Nothing if you don't have two big dogs and a big mean black kitty already. My german shephards would have a kitten for lunch! hehehe I'm sending my package out this weekend. Sorry in advance to my secret sam for it being a little bit later then some of the others. But I am sending it Priority mail! :clap2:

P'nut.... if it's a kitten and you're my sec sam...you can keep it! hahahahaahaha

I'm finally scheduled for July 27!!

That's awesome and you can do it! I look forward to joining you in twoterville someday!

you are sooooo funny Mandy! I think I've seen both of those guys in the parking lot. I just hurry up and get in the car and lock my doors!

I love those Amy Brown prints. Those are awesome. I'll have to check in to getting myself some.

Subject: Warning New Scam We should all take this seriously. I don't how many of you shop at Sam's Club or costco, but this may be useful to know. I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. This happened to me and it could happen to you!! Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 30 year-old well-built guys come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the trunk. They both are shirtless and start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their highly defined chest muscles and rock-hard abs exposed. It's impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to another Sam's Club or Costco. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start talking dirty about what they want to do to you. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and begins kissing your neck and begs you to pull over so he can make love to you!! While this is going on the other guy steals your purse!! I had my purse stolen last Tuesday, Wednesday, twice on Thursday, again on Saturday, and also yesterday and most likely tomorrow. I'm running out of purses....

If I ran right now I'd be confined to a wheel chair from crushing my knees and feet. My legs would never forgive me!

I have two dogs. One 3 year old purebred german shephard named Liberty because I got her the night the war in Iraq started and she's my big baby! I looooooooooooooooooooove her. My other is a 8 month old german shephard and yellow lab mix named Mason after the city we got him in. He's my big goofy boy. We also have a big black cat named L'Roar which is a goofy name my mom gave him. He was my mom's cat. He appeared on her porch on christmas night probably 5 years ago while me and my mom were sitting in the living room watching a movie. I noticed him on the window sill outside and so she went out to see him and my dad yelled "DON'T YOU FEED HIM OR HE'LL NEVER LEAVE!" and next thing you know my mom's got christmas ham out there. hahaha. And he NEVER left. When I bought my first house 3 years ago he moved in with me and he's been mine since. I call him BIG kitty because he's huge.

When I met my husband he drove a 1980 oldsmobile nightyeight. It was HUGE and painted fire engine red. It was in great condition. I used to refer to it as the BIG RED GHETTO SLED! hahaha. He called it "Clifford the big red dog" hahahaha. I'll have to post a picture of that on here. He know drives a 98 dodge dakota that's dark purple black. I refer to it as the Barney truck, much to the hubbies dismay. He says "it's not PURPLE. It's amethyst" hahaha

I'm a Dept Tech for the State of Michigan dept of State. Any michiganders need help with driver and vehicle stuff, I'm your woman!

I think Dr. Deol is great and wish I had the funds available to make her my choice again, but I just don't. When I went to the semiar there were a lot of questions about fee's, etc. Nothing was ever said about a $800 fee for support group required prior to having the surgery. The only thing mentioned was the fee for nutritionist and psych eval. I would have been very stuck if I had went to the consult and dropped $250 to find out I couldn't afford the $800 support group for a long time and then there's nothing I could do to get the $250 back. I went to the seminar for Port Huron after that and at the seminar they gave everyone a sheet that detailed everything and the costs and if it's not covered by insurance or might be, etc. I found that very helpful in figuring out what to expect in the months ahead.

GO banana ... GO GO BANANA! :Banane10: :Banane23: :Banane09: :Banane36: <---- this is my husband. hahaha! SUPER HUBBY! :Banane47:

MEOW.... You and me can dance together girlfriend!!!!

my plan is to wear very loose workout pants and a big button down shirt, flip flops, NO bra..hahaha

I have my appt with my surgeon tomorrow. Everyone is telling me to write down my questions now so I don't forget to ask. Problem is I can't think of any questions. They were answered in the seminar and I have researched this for over 6 months and I've learned SO MUCH from this website alone. Are there questions any of you asked at yours or any that you forgot to ask and wish you had? Gimme some ideas here. I'm blank for some reason and can't think of a thing to ask. Thanks!!!

I'm sending mine out this weekend. Still brain storming what I want to send. hehe

Pianoman...hahaha. I loved that movie!!!! I can't remember how many time's I watched it when it came out on VHS. hahaha Great job on the weightloss!

Janet, Have you had an complications from your band? Congrants on your coming up one year bandiversary!

I think this is a great idea but I'm having a difficult time with it because I am choosing not to tell people about my surgery. How do I keep it to myself and wear the bracelett? I seriously was considering getting a small tattoo on my stomach with the medical allert symbol since I know I'll never get to wear a bikini anyways. Is that too outragous?
