Calling all NC Lap Banders....Our informal group will be having our monthly get together on Saturday Nov 5th @ Ruby Tuesday's at I-77 and Arrowood. The meeting time is 11:30...If you plan on attending please let me know. It seems our little group will be growing by a few this month and I would like to call ahead and get a table reserved for us.

Everyone one is welcome...we normally have @ 6- 8 of us that meet monthly. We are at all stages...from just getting the ball rolling to the vetran Kathy who has been banded since April. This is a great time for friends to get together and laugh and cut up and have some lunch.

Hope to see everyone saturday...would love to meet some new people!!!!

Hello Everyone,

As of tonight, I won't be able to attend on saturday. I have some nasty boggerific bug thing, mostly sinus. I still have to work fulltime so I 'm going to use saturday as my "fall" apart day.

If something changes, I'll let you know.

Thanks Girls! I appreciate it. Kathy keep truckin girl! You can do it! I started exercising a lot harder and it started back up again. I was at a stand still for two weeks but it has started moving. I will try to remember that Nutritionist stuff for you! I am awful about remembering stuff I promise. Sorry!

I understand about the pet peeve. People do that to me too. It drives me nutz but then they compliment on how I look and all is good! :mad: Keep up the great work Melissa! I can't wait to say 50 pounds gone forever! :mad:

Angie

I'm in, the inlaws can take a nap!

Good girl. This is your first banded lunch...you gotta come!!!

Well, I definitly won't be able to make it. I went to the dr's today and I have some type of vocal cord inflammation (I cannot talk right now) he wants me to take antibiotics for the infection and rest my voice until next week. This is hard for me to do, I'm a talker.

JT

Ah...I could never shut up for a week LOL, I could stop eating sooner.

Melissa

Sorry to hear that JT! Hope you get to feeling better.

Angie

Feel better...Oh I have to tell you an exciting thing that happened this morning.

I went for my 7AM walk and saw a friend of mine who knows I have the band. I called her and said hi. She didn't answer, then when I got closer she screamed and said I didn't recognize you thats why I didn't answer.

What a great way to start a day! You better believe I'm going for another walk tomorrow morning!

Jennifer I hope you feel better..that has to be rough. Although not talking my husband would say would be a vacation for him. haha. Maybe you can join us next month...we aren't going to let you go that easy.

Ok ladies I think we have 10 for sure...I will call this afternoon and get a table for 12 just in case we have a few lurkers that want to show up but aren't ready to start talking here yet.

I am so excited...I soooo look forward to this time each month!! You girls are the best!!!!

Ok I called and they don't take call aheads. I told him that we didn't want to sit in the middile like we did before and he said that wouldn't be a problem..They have an area near the windows that will work for us. So if we want to meet in the lobby like last month we can get a table... :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

I am so excited...

They don't take call aheads but you can bet they appreciate the heads up that 10-12 talkative women are coming and we all want separate checks and most of us will likely do a Meg Ryan (what was that movie?) and order special things. LOL! That's okay. At least they know we are coming! Watch out Ruby Tuesdays!

Ohh I wanna come! =D

Ohh I wanna come! =D

Come Rebecca! Yay! Say you will!!!

It was great seeing everyone today!! We had a blast and had 2 newbies join us. Sherie for the first time and my friend Kami. We had a great time and we will have a picture of everyone to post soon...Actually I think it will be our best one yet.

Ok we missed a couple of people...Star W & Bondgirl...I hope everything is ok with the two of you and we missed you.

Go ahead and mark the date for next month...Dec 17th. It will be out last one...for this year. haha. We chose that day becase we have Parvathi that is going to join us so we wanted to plan it around her visit to the states.

Have a great rest of the weekend and we will chat later. Lets keep lossing ladies!!!

Hey Girls! I so hate it I missed it. Had a child not feeling well and was up all night. I want to see you guys bad. I had no numbers to call either so wasnt able to let you know. I want to get up with you somehow before the 17th if any of you can. I need some support. Guess what I hit 50 pounds today! I am at 176!! WOOT!!!!!
