Julie,

Congrats, that is great news about your insurance finally coming through. You must be excited. I'm sorry about the co-pay, though. However, as I have often said about paying 10k for my band - it was about the same as buying a cheap car, but the best investment ever.

Guess I'm buying a bit more expensive car ;) Mainly upset with the having to pay since as you know, this has become more of a medical issue with me due to the damage done by the band. Ah, well... guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do :blink:

I"m still up for any of those dates - let's see if any of our buds respond here, otherwise we can bug them on facebook!

Have a great day.

Sounds like a plan. Sent a PM to Mim (remember her?) asking her if any of your dates works for her

p.s. I got to goal last week! ;)

Yayyyyyyy... I'm so proud of you, and so happy for you!!!!

We meet at the Red Robin at Arapahoe and I-25.

Snowgator and Julie, I need to check my schedule at work tonight. I'm in the middle of moving, so I'm insanely busy!

I'd love to meet up with everyone. I saw Rene and Theresa at the retirement party - along with John and it was so nice!

Rene looks super beautiful! Theresa is so looking really good! We enjoyed a really nice visit AND we ate some cake too!

I know, naughty! BUT so good!

I always said, "I didn't get this band to diet the rest of my life!" Dan, you will be able to eat, just less and better choices! I am a new person today!

I love the Band! Love it! It saved my life!

I'll try to post tonight or tomorrow with dates that I can meet you all!

Heard from Mim. She says she can probably make Dec 3 or 4. I'm open any day, so we'll just have to see who can make it when and let majority rule.

Kinda excited. Most likely going to get my bypass surgery date next Thursday!!! It's been a long painful year and I am soooo happy to finally be moving forward!!! :bananajump:

Dan,

Looking forward to meeting you! By then you'll be on Clear liquids still, or maybe some thin Soups. No worries, Red Robin has always been very accomodating to our special menu requests. They can puree some Soup for you, or you can have iced tea or apple juice. See you soon!

Try not to worry about the surgery, I saw your post and think we all felt the same way. Trust me, it all works out, and your only wish will be that you had done it years ago.

She is quite right, they are very accomodating there. They are always willing to puree some soup for us.

The more the merrier! No worries, no need for a firm RSVP. We usually sit on a bench right at the entrance for a few minutes to gather our group together. But do let us know if you decide in advance that you are coming so we get a table with enough seats for any latecomers.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
