Vanity

hey welcome, just an FYI for you guys from SD, we have a local support group that meets once a month. click on my profile and youll find it in my groups. You're welcome to join us.

During the planning stages and even right after surgery I only had a handfull of family and friends that knew. I know who I want to tell and who I don't. I started school and told the whole class, it feels good to not have to hide anything. There are still people I don't want to know, and they dont need to know so they wont. :sad: Who cares what other people think, this is for you and only you. I don't need to explain to people how I lost this weight, they can kiss my rapidly decreasing butt!

that is so sad! condolences to you and your son! :thumbup:

this topic made me smile. dead bunny made me frown. ::imagining what the lap band goddess looks like::

caaallll meee!!! texxxt mee!! something fool!

you're gonna do great! text me and let me know how it goes!

Dr. Ortiz is awesome! both my mom and I were banded by him. Carolyn was my patient care coordinator. They'll help you out. I heart the OCC! awesome place & staff + knowledable, effective, and HOT Dr.s! what else can you ask for?!

sorry to hear that thats what it is :laugh: but hey, you've done amazing on your own! Just a lil while longer and the band will be helping you! Very proud of you, stay strong!!

cool, well good luck! I LOVE Dr. So, he's SOOO hot :biggrin:

Call Dr. Ortiz or the OCC front desk, they are all very willing to help and can probably help you figure out what it is. I'm willing to bet it isn't food stuck in there.

Hey great success!! I created a group for our lil group http://www.lapbandtalk.com/groups/san-diego-bandsters.html let's post there :drool:

Its amazing the changes that happen after your life gets set back into motion. I have officially enrolled in school to become a master esthetician (an esthetician with SUPER POWERS! lol) Being that I didn't even finish high school (I tested out when I was 15) This is a big step for me. FInances are going to be a big issue though, I didn't qualify for enough in loans and now I have to pay 7k out of pocket which is like 600/mo and I'm officially unemployed. ahh well, I'll figure it out, but I start school in 2 weeks and am SOO EXCITED!!
