Gosh, old home week! Glad to see you back too! We missed you and your great advice too! :Banane20: :huggie:

Okay, cross post time!

Yay! Becky and Darcy! Yay!

Now if only we could coax Darcey and Hagerterssa back.

Thanks, Vines. Good to see you. Weren't you the official butt-kicker? Well, guess what? Things haven't changed, still need a boot once in a while.

Hey Becca, just north of me! Your son moved out then back in? Mom and aunt live in the neighborhood? Dad in law down by me, how's his heart? You had a fall (bike wreck) that damaged your throat and you didn't need fills, phathom restriction?

I'm thinking all day about you and gross Darcey, and the old times hope I'm not bring back odd stuff...

You're too funny Vera. :mad: That's close. My DH's mom and sis live near you. My dad was just down there (with us) long enought to have a heart bypass. I forgot about Gross Darcy. :car:

I eventually found out that my bike wreck did not damage my throat...just swollen around it for a while. My esophagus problem is dysmotility, the muscles don't squeeze things through efficiently. It is fine without a fill, and I've been unfilled for six months. I'm going to try a fill again next month. I hope I can tolerate it because I have gained a few pounds. I have always had some restriction with the band alone -- lucky for me.

How are you doing?

Now guys... there is just nuttin gross about an open wound. Well... okay... so it's a little gross if one thinks about it too much. :mad:

Darcey isn't here anymore??????? Teresa????? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... my german shepherd has her backpack on and we're ready for the search!

Pat... big ((((Hugs))))) girl... how's your Mom???? I'm still waiting for her to send me a pic of her latest embroidered creation!

Vines... I'm bending over... don't hold anything back because I really need a swift and powerful KICK!

They're baaaack!!!

:welldone2:

:clap2:

It is great to see you back Becky!!!!!!! You truely have been missed woohoo ((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome baaaaaaaaak (sung to the welcome back kotter tune :welldone2: )

Thanks for asking about my mom. Things are a little slow for her, she doesn't eat the right things, OLD habits are really hard to break when you're old too. Then again, it's really slow for me too.

How's your embr. doing? Did you ever get to be the master of your machine?

More Hugs to you both.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Yep Pat... I became the master of that machine and while I was working at the dealership I got a really fancy machine at cost so the original one is up for bid on eBay. I'm a nervous wreck selling something that expensive on there and have nearly cancelled the listing a hundred times!

I know what you mean about slow... unfortunately... I am packing it on rather quickly... it seems like going uphill should be slower! *sigh* On a positive note... at least I have not gained it ALL back yet. Help.

A HUGE welcome back Becky!

Okay, okay Crystal (Vines), I'm here.

Darcy, you can call off the search for me, but we need to work on Teresa. The last time I heard from heard, she wanted to meet for coffee and I couldn't go! Darn!

I know I've been away because I lost my band last summer and I've gain back pretty much all my weight :welldone2:

BUT, I've scheduled a rebanding on April 7th with Dr. Ortiz in MX and I've met a doctor here in Oregon that is willing to do my aftercare and he thinks Dr. Ortiz is a really good guy.

WHOOWHEE! Celebration for reunions around here!

Hello Alexandra and Trish and Darcey and NJChick! Good to see ya'all again.

April 7th isn't too far away. I'm so glad you are going to have it replaced, Darcey.

Alexandra -- you are still holding down the fort. What a woman! My band is doing fine, just haven't had a fill for six months. Going in for one next month and will try again. The dysmotility really acts up when I have any fill, but I really need some help with the ol' appetite. :hungry: Even without the fill, I have been staying in a reasonable range, so I'm thankful for that. How's it going for you? Your picture looks skinnnnnny! And I mean that in a good way. :biggrin1:
