Hey there!!!! I hope you are having a great week!

That sounds like a beautiful place!!!

I'm just puttering around this morning. Every Sunday, my kids go to my in-laws for the day. So soon I'll be getting them ready to go, and then it's just me and hubby for the day. We yell at each other all week, but on Sunday we do grocery shopping and get lunch or dinner or something. It's kind of like our time to recharge. Ha ha ha

I love to take pictures too, but it seems I don't take nearly enough out in the wild. Most of the time it's of my goofy kids. I've been so wrapped in work the past few years that I have spent little time with my hobbies. This year I will try.

I hope you feel better! Get lots of rest!

That's great about your fill!!! I hope it helps you out a lot!

Have a good week and thanks for your message and kind words!!

Ooooh, I want to hear all about that Nikon!!! How do you like it? What kind of photos do you like to take??

I hope you are doing well today!

Hey, Fitzie! I hope you are doing better at slowing down. I forget sometimes too. I've been close to losing it too, and it was so painful. I'm trying really hard now to make sure I really really chew. I hope you are doing better too. Take care! Update soon, okay, because it's good to hear how you are! Thanks! Bye!

I hope you have a good fill on Wednesday. I've only had one. I have 4.5 cc in right now. I feel the restriction most of the time, depending on its mood, the band seems to let some meals pass more easily. I've heard everyone else say that it changes daily, but it is still so strange to be so tight one day and then the next you think you might be able to fit a whole ham through!

You've made good progress so far! Congrats! I hope your fill will have you feeling better and get the scale moving faster. You may not notice much yet if you are exercising... exchanging fat for muscle... but it sounds like you are doing good though!

Thanks for writing!

I did not think you were a dweeb! I know nobody spends as much time here as I do. lol

Friends don't always have to be all roses and cupcakes either. We all need someone to listen to us now and then, so if you just need to vent, I sure don't mind.

I understand what you mean right now about wanting things to be good. It seems everyone is struggling with finances these days. My husband has been off on medical for a while now, but we just found out that we have no health insurance as of Jan. 1st. Even if they fix his neck and arm issues, there's no job to go back to anyway, major layoffs! It's very frustrating, but I guess we just kind of grit out teeth and push through. I keep asking, "Why does everything have to be so difficult! When do we get a break?" I hope you get your break soon. It's time for things to be good again, and I'm sure it will.

Hey, Poodles! How are you doing?

I hope you have a great day, and I'm looking forward to your story unfolding! Thanks for your nice message!

Congratulations on your progress!!

Hey, ChicaMama! I hope you have a great New Year's!!!!

Hi! I hope you don't mind I stopped in on your profile to comment. I was over on Fitzie47's page and saw that you went to WLC with DiMarco.

Hi! My name is Rachel. Dr. Currie did my surgery on 11/4/08. I live here in York. So since we had something in common, I thought I'd say hello.

Happy New Year! I hope you are doing well!!

Hey there! I saw Dr. Currie today for my second post-op, and he gave me a 1.5 cc fill. It wasn't so bad! He thought I was kind of funny being a big baby and all, but that's me.

When you have your second post-op? Now I go back in two months to see how this new restriction performed. I felt restricted before, but when I got back this morning, I had a serving of milky oatmeal and man, I feel really stuffed!

How is it going for you??

Have a great holiday!

Hi, Jenn!

Thank you very much for your nice message. It really meant a lot to me.

I like that you posted a message from yourself on your profile so that visitors can read a little about you right up front. I'm very excited for you, and I hope your wait is not very long either.

I'm pretty new here too. I didn't join until right after my surgery last month. Everybody has been really helpful so far. The doctors tell you so much, but there are those little things that only other people who have had the surgery can really share with you. So far, I haven't really met anyone that has not taught me a little something new about this experience. I think it's that genuine helpfulness that has helped me stay positive.

I hope we can talk again! I hope you have a great holiday!

Yeah, with Dr. Currie! Did he do yours too, or were you with DiMarco? I kind of like how they remodeled the office. I go back on the 30th to see him. Did you get their chewable vitamins? Aren't they delicious? ha ha ha

It's great to find someone on here who went to the same office. Yes, let's keep in touch!

Stay warm and dry!

Congratulations on your banding!! I wish you a smooth recovery!!

Congratulations!!! That's great!

I don't know if you ever saw my reply to your thread about bandsters in the Carlisle, PA area. I'm here in York. So I just thought I'd see how you were. I was banded in Harrisburg. How about you?

So how is it going? Do you have a surgery date yet?

Hey, we are the same age!!
