I just found out my surgery will be in July (granted my pre-op testing goes okay) SOOOOOOOOO

Here's a thread for everyone getting banded in July 07!

Does anyone have any good ideas for a neat name we could call ourselves?

To all who are on deck for tomorrow--Dakota, james2539, forgv70x7, dmtjet, tinkerbell, bun1, jdhj861jr, cantweight, and appleblossom, we wish you the best. We will be thinking of you and praying for you!

To everyone else, hello and I hope all is well!

Just so you know, I really think I do have an infection. I'm a bit ticked by that b/c I have to get rid of it before the surgery. I was on antibiotics before for this exact infection, but it obviously didn't get rid of it...so to the doc tomorrow for this. It has certainly worn me down and I exhaust easily.

I am so glad, though, to see all of the posting and activity. Welcome to all the new folks here!

Things I'm thankful for: My faith (the Lord has certainly blessed me), my family (they are awesome), and this board. I would've never thought I could get so much inspiration and encouragement online.

What I am most thankful for... hmmm. I would say that I am thankful for my DH's love for me, even when I'm moody. I'm thankful that Children's Aid approved us to adopt, and gave us our little girl. I'm thankful for my son's smile, compassion, innocence and love. I'm thankful for my own strength of spirit, endurance, beauty (such a pretty face :whoo:) and resourcefullness. Finally, I'm thankful I had the most wonderful mother in the world, and wish so much that she was still here to share in my life.

Ok, a little deep, but true.

Chimboree, is this something that they can get rid of easily/quickly. I've got my fingers crossed for you.

Hey guys, just wanted to check in, let ya know I'm still here, and alive. (Altho I'm going NUTS on my liquid diet...)

Just 2 more days! I'm excited, nervous, you name it, I'm feeling it.

Hope everyone's weekend was good. Mine was great! Went to see Clay Aiken in concert. If anyone ever gets a chance to see him, I would definitely suggest it!!

Lynette, how are you feeling today? How many days has it been?

Chimboree... what's a Body Bugg?

Hi Phyl, how are you.

Hi, Lynette,

I'm doing good. How about you? Just went for a ride around the neighborhood on my scooter for some fresh air.

Thank you guys so much for responding, you all are truely something special! I may not post a reply much but I am always checking on this website to see how everyone is doing. Thank you.

Hey ChickyBaby... we've got 12 more days to go!! I'm getting excited, are you???

Hey Danny!! Goooood Luck!! We will all be thinking about you!! I am a itsy bit jealous that I am not getting mine done this week also....I have to wait one more week. I guess its best. It gives me more time to finish up some last minute projects,.....like organizing my closet!! Keep us posted on your progress!!

They should be able to. It's a stupid UTI/bladder infection. I woulda thought the last round of antibiotics would've done it, but nope. It's hanging around. It HAS to go. I will KILL someone if my surgery is delayed!!!:angry:angry:angry

*do ya sense my anger w/this???* LOL!!!

Oh yeah... Be ANGRY!!!! It will scare that nasty infection away.

Kathybad, it's another band that tracks your calories in vs. calories out. You wear it around your arm. It's s'posed to work great. I read about it here on LBT...here's the thread : http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f81/bodybugg-users-report-here-36232/

Here's the website, too: BODYBUGG :: HOW IT WORKS

It's a little pricey upfront, but seems like it's worth it. Many of the really successful folks here on LBT have used this thingy...and I want one so bad, but can't afford it right now. Not until all this pre-op stuff is done (and I get my $$ back from my insurance company).

wAS THAT the Clay Aiken concert in Tulsa?? I read on the internet that he got in a little trouble with a lady on his flight in to Tulsa. Put his foot on her armrest or something. My son's mother-in-law is a Clay Aiken groupie! She's flying from Seattle to L.A. to one of his concerts this summer. I like him, too, but she's sort of obsessed.

Sorry, we're a little off topic!

Chimboree, I'd love one too, I just don't think we'll need it just yet. I'm dropping lbs like crazy now, although it won't last forever. I'd like to wait until the smaller version comes out like they've been talking about.

Wow... that looks cool. Now I want one too. I'll have to spend some more time with the thread and the site, but what a tool. Thanks Chimboree.

Goodnight everyone... have to get my sleep.
