My cubicle at the office is completely trashed....but I'm so glad that they didn't go the 'over the hill- black decorations' route - as i am pretty sure my kids will take care of that....

and for my birthday gift to myself this year ----- LAPBAND. i hope to be banded by August this year....already started the visits (have to do 6 months - 4 to go) and of course the other testing - which will be in June or July....

and by next year.....watch out - this hot grandma will be back riding her motorcycle and living life!!!!

have a great weekend everyone!

Have a good one My husband turns 50 Sunday. We are going to California for vacation to celebrate. You go Hot Grandma, you can do it.

diane: Happy happy day happy birthday.. You are adding 10 more years to your life. SO very happy you are doing this. I am going to be 64 next month. I am happy that I did this. 89 lbs lost in 15 months, you can do it. if you need any help at all Lizybird@aol.com or here. ilene :D :D :D

HB! This is the best gift you can give yourself...I am 48 and was obese for almost two decades! My daughter is 17 so calling it baby weight was getting ridiculous! This was the best thing I ever did (i did have to self pay) and I wish I could have done it sooner. The first year was a crazy struggle of adjustment but these days its easy! Best of luck!

I'm so excited about the band - it's going to be a great tool to hold me accountable for my poor eating habits.

Happy Birthday! I had my band 4/4/11 and it is the best thing I ever have done for myself! I will be 50 in October and am healthier than I have been in 25 years! Enjoy

Happy happy! Isn't 50 the new 21! Enjoy!

Not sure if 50 is the new 21 - but for me it still feels like 40.....thanks for all the well wishes everyone. I'm looking forward to this journey and having you guys here makes it that much easier....

happy 50th and happy lapbandtalk:)

Happy birthday! And hey, I'm 58 and feel better than ever in my entire life, thanks to the band I got shortly after my 54th birthday. The band is going to be the best birthday present ever!

Happy Birthday. My birthay was Thursday and I turned 57. Decided to do the surgery a few months back so I can hopefully enjoy the next 30+ years with more energy. As other's have said, I am tired of being tired. I am tired of sitting on the sidelines watching everyone else having fun and I'm tired of food always my priority in life. With this tool,this website, I am hoping to learn to Eat to live, and no longer living to EAT! It's a new year and hopefully a new me!

Happy Brithday and welcome to the 'fifties club' I am 57 too and i hve never felt older than 30 lol

Welcome and Happy Birthday!!! Keep us up to date as your journey continues.

thanks to all the happy birthday wishes... I cannot wait till August to get banded!!! thanks again....
