I saw that you feel you have no support. morefrommyband.com will send support group DVD to your home with a worksheet for 10 dollars per month. I have met Dr. Voung and he is great. His support meetings are helpful not just b*tch sessions, they have direction. There are sample meetings online if you would like to check it out. Good luck!

Logged another 1.5 miles today... moving right along.

A couple of fun reads I just finished-The Accidental Werewolf and Accidentaly Dead by Dakota Cassidy Anyone watch Dexter? Love that show, currenly reading Darkly Dreaming Dexter-totally like the show. My husband like the Bones series by Kathy Reiches<sp> but the characters are not as in the show, he says good stories.

I just finished "Swallowing Darkness" LOVED it!! Also am reading Teri Garey "Dead girls are easy" and "Mach made in hell." Funny. And JD ROBB Salvation in Death-excellent! Enjoy, Rhonda:thumbup:

The Anita Blake novels are super great about a vampire hunter and I also enjoyed her Merry books about the fey. They can get pretty racey. But then I like that kinda thing. LOL. Laurell K. Hamilton

picked my husband up online, he is a good one.

MoreFromMyBand.com Dr. Voung, who rocks BTW and I wish he did my surgery, is offering a subscripton of DVD's for like 9.95 a month with "handouts" you can print online. It is a DVD of a support meeting he usually hosts. He hosted one at the conference in Dallas and I really enjoyed it. Due to IKE there is a delay but this may be a solution for you and possibly some lap-buddies in your area. I have been thinking about hosting groups at my house when the DVDs start coming in that way there is direction and purpose to the meeting, hope this helps.

He said the actual surgery part took 30 min. I was first case and due to a delay in radiology for my swallow study I didn't get dc'd until 8pm.

LOVE: Charlaine Harris-Sookie Stackhouse Boooks Lori Leigh-Breed series smut and I love it! Laurel K Hamilton-Anita and Merry Series Kim Harrison-Witch Series Janet Evanovich-Stephanie Plum JD ROBB-In Death Series Christine Feehan-Carpathian Series Stephanie Myers-Twilight Series I LOVE to read!!!

Can I just say, I was sooo excited to get into a 28 at Lane Bryants. Feeling good about me!!:Dancing_biggrin:

Postng just to post....:tongue2:

Is your doc and nutritionist in the same office? If so I am with you, you should get to see them on the same day and only have one co-pay. That's how mine do it. Although my follow-up for the first year were included in the cost, so it doesn't cost me to follow-up.

I love your new pic!! You are so pretty! Got my reservations, we are staying in Shanendoah, Marriot Towne homes??

Gonna try to get the husband to make this for me!

I liked the video, there are two poses that you are on your hands and knees for, I am still pretty heavy and my knees didn't love them, but over all I felt good.

Awesome! November 7th is my birthday, the Roman Weekend. So we will there Friday to Sunday.

Cher did finally show Saturday and we all went to Red River Saloon and Dance Hall, we had a great time!! We finally crept in at 3 am. EEK! It was great to meet you! Please keep in touch and let me know how the houston one goes. We will be in Houston for the Texas Ren. Fest in Plantersville. Toga, Toga, Toga! LOL

I am thankful I have the energy to workout everday, I am thankful that I now fit in standard chairs and was able to get cute pedicure in comfort. Thank mom for my band. she loaned me the money<LOANED dough the me>:cool2:

Due to the pannus causing infections, odor ect, a panniculectomy <sp?> is often covered by insurance with documentation. You could start a file with a dermatologist to establish history while you lose weight.
