I would like to hear from some Texarkana Bandsters about their experiences. re: doctors, pre and post surgery, and how things are going for them now. I am considering the lap band.

Susan, you know what box I'm talking about!!!! Don't play that with me. lol

Julie... if you think about it, BBQ has lots of fat in it. Therefore, I really should have not eaten it. But... I was hungry for it, so. Bread is a big no, no for me. I just can't swallow it, which is fine with me. I don't need it anyway. I do miss hamburgers, but it's ok, I am losing and it doesn't matter.

Gotta git, yall have a good day!

Can anyone tell me how long the support meeting usually last in texarkana?

HI Teresa. The meetings last one hour. 7:00-8:00. I plan on going to this one. Only missed one.

Susan, only 26 pounds to go!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!

Shannon are you comming to the meeting?

Lisa, good going on your weight loss!!! I wanna be there too....

Sugarbear, I hope you get to go, and we will help you get a comfortable seat with a place to prop your foot. Hope to see you all there. Mizboo.......oh yeah....when was Ms. Betty having her lipo done. maybe we will get to see her great results she was expecting, she was so excited about getting it done.....we will see, and Amy will be getting ready for her wedding........

hey sugar bear i need to confess something. i'm only 26lbs from my goal that i set for myself i'm sure dr h and k would not agree that it is a good goal i think my bmi will still be around

27-28 but this a goal i felt i could reach i will be below 200 for the first time since 1974 (the year i got married i think i was at 180) this goal is a tad shy of that but heck i'm an old lady so 195 sounds great to me. oh and i am 5'9" so i think i can carry that much weight and not look to fat. i should be in a size 16 or maybe 14 at that goal!!!

Susan, I am with you all the way. It is wonderful to reach a goal. Who knows what will happen next? DH says he will bring me to the meeting. My surgeon called and rescheduled my apt for Thurs. to Tues. POOEY! We also have to go to T town on Wed. So that will be three days in a row going to Texarkana.

Betty are you back?

Take care everyone.

thanks sugarbear! The cowboys are playing and I was sure hoping to get home and watch it. But of course, I would miss them for the support meeting. Especially my first one. See you there.

Teresa, you probably won't miss too much of the game. Starts at 8 right? You will know who I am, the one with the purple cast. I won't be hard for anyone to spot. LOL The only reason I wouldn't be there is if DH got off to late to get me there.

YEAAAAAAAAA:clap2: I finally got a date:clap2:

I sign paperwork next Friday and surgery Oct 17th:whoo:

Is the meeting Tues at 7 at Wadley? I'm planning on being there.

Congrarts, Julie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clap2:

Opps, meant, Congrats!!!!! LOL

GRRRREAT Julie! Gosh, I guess you have to start the slimefast immediately! Like yesterday?! Stick to it, it will be worth it and it is for your saftey. Shrinks the liver. I am assuming the meeting will still be at Wadley, at 7:00 p.m. It hasn't been posted yet on noscales.com For you newbies, that site is where Dr. H post the seminar dates and support group meetings. Texarkana is always the second Monday of the month. Other info is also posted there.

Yes, I started the Slimefest, yesterday afternoon. I am so excited!!

I've been going back thru the threads and have read about how everyone made it thru. Ya'll had a really great support group going on. Still do. I have learned a lot. This is really going to a life changing event, for the rest of my life. But I'm looking forward to it.

This Monday is a govt. holiday so I wondered if they would still have their meeting?

Hi yall!

Congratulations, Julie!!!!! Remember, we are here if you need us!

yall have a good day!
