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?

Tanzycoffeelady,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!:whoo:

Best of luck to you on Thursday in case you dont have access for the internet. I know it will hard leaving for a few days, especially the kids, but they'll be getting a whole new improved mom when you get home, so remember that when it gets hard. I too messed up a lot of things at work the few days before surgery. I think it's normal to be shaking, with excitement about the unknown. Let us know how you're doing when you get back.

Dini, Sonya's on board with the cruise.:whoo: We're going to knock their socks off when we get abord that ship.

Oh Lord, help me please as I go into the kitchen to make a cake for my DH. Please don't let me lick the spoon:phanvan, the spatula:cry, the beaters:omg:, or the bowl:eek:. And when I icing this cake, please give me the strength to not look at the chocolate I'm smoothing over the cake as chocolate:think, let it look like something else today:heh:!!!!!! (use your own imagination) AMEN!!! Ok, I can do this!!!

Alright, I did it, cake is in the oven, and I didn't lick a thing, except my lips!!So where is everybody?? I've been cleaning on and off all day. I'm actually taking a break now, we all need breaks once in a while. Getting dinner started soon. Hope everyone is having a great day.

lynette you didn't lick WOW

I had the sink all cleared out, and I put the dishes in water as soon as I was done pouring batter. I did good!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANZYCOFFEELADY

SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS CRUISE. HOW DO WE GO ABOUT IT?

DO WE WAIT, CHECK IT OUT NOW? ETC ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS??

I'm sure the sooner we book, or look, it will be cheaper.

Gee, I wonder if we know of anyone with a lot of time on their hands to do this????????HA HA, LOL

We should make it in August when everyone has had their Bandaversary, hey 08/08/08, and I just checked the calendar and it's a Friday, how COOL is that!!!!!

Thats Sounds Really Good Lynette, So How Are We Going To Go About It?

I'd see if anyone on here has been on a cruise before to see if we have any ideas of what cruise lines to use, I can only think of Carnival, but maybe someone else has had an experience with another. Then we start looking into dates, for how many days do we want to go, where we stop, and how do we get over to Ireland to see you.

Babes My Mom Was Just On A Cruise . Left From Miami ! I'll Call Her And Get The Name. I Dont Think You'll Get Over Here With A Cruise So I'll Meet You Over In The States

Good thing, cause I wouldn't be able to fly to you, oh yeah, we already covered that one didn't we. But you could also meet us at one of the ports, don't the cruises stop at ports along the way?

FREEDON FROM THE SEA..

IS WHAT ITS CALLED MY MOM SAID IT WAS AMAZING! WHERE EVER EVERYONE ELSE MEET UP THATS WHERE I'LL MEET YOU. COS PEOPLE ARE COMING FROM ALL OVER THAT STATES AND WE HAVE TO MEET SOMEWHERE ITS JUST I'M COMING FROM A LITTLE FUTHER AWAY AWAY. ANYWAYS I CAN BOOK THE FLIGHTS WITH THE CRUISE AT A GOOD PRICE I'LL GET THEM TO DO ME A PACKAGE.

Cool, I can check it out in a little bit, I have to icing these cakes now and get dinner going. I'll check out prices for Carnival also so we can compare. Should I check out 5 day or 7 day or both? I think 3 is just too short and not worth it, we'll not want to leave after only 3 days.

Dieka, no they will not be able to keep up with us but that will be all the better!!!!!!!! its going to be amazing.

Sunshinesonya, keep checking with us. were defo going well i am anyways.

looking forward to it already.

i can't remember if i told you guys but i'm saving 10euro for every lb i loose. that can go towards my cruise!!!!!!!!!!

BRING IT ON
