Hey fellow MA bandsters,

SherryW and I are interested in starting a thread for all our MA bandsters so we can get to know our neighbors! We hope you join in!

I'll start.....

My name is Chris, I am 32, have been overweight since I was 5 years old, although I am at an all-time high right now. My band date is October 2nd, and I cannot wait!! I am single and dating, I work in insurance, and I have a great and supportive family & group of friends - including SherryW and her DH. lol. Oh yeah, my mother is also getting banded, and she is having surgery one week before me.

I'd love to meet my other MA bandsters and hear about your progress!

Chris

NO DOUBT!!!!! I'm feeling much better as we speak...Here comes trouble...lol...

Just called the Dr.s office,, once the receptionist found out I was wanting to see what was going on she put me on hold, talked to someone(So she said) who told her to connect me to her voice mail,,,,and that said they would get back to me in 1-3 buisiness days,,,,,,,, I'm feeling a bit put off here.......

Wow...do you remember the persons name on the voice mail? If it was Cheryl, she is very good at getting back to you...I'm not sure if she does the scheduling for Dr. haag, though...It does kinda get you down when they do that...they did it to me twice!!

Hi MA Friends,

I haven't posted on this thread in a while! I was very sad that I couldn't make the get together at the mall. Hopefully next time.

I am doing well, slipping a lot lately though but not totally falling:cry

I can't believe how much better I feel about myself. I've gained back some of my confidence and self esteem. I can't believe it but I signed on to be an advisor for Lia Sophia. Really cool jewelry. I was a hostess and got lots of free stuff so I decided to try my hand at selling. I can't believe I'm going to stand in front of a room of women!!!!

Anyway, if any of you MA girls are interested in hosting a party, I would love do meet you!!

Everyone is doing so well, its exciting to read. Hope you all have a great week! Keep it up losers:biggrin1:

Embarassingly enough, I could not understand the receptionist that well, as she has a rather thick accent, and being as I do not deal with that on a day to day basis all I could pick out was she was transfering me to someones voice mail,,when I got the voice mail (I was at work) my 2 way radio started yammering, so I couldn't hear who it was:faint: ... I'm just sure if I did it from home my 3 & 4 year olds would have been "MUCH QUIETER"!!!!
