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?

hey if anyone was keeping track of tha list for july bandsters

make sure you put a check next to mine. Just got home one night in the hospital and feeling great

Platform shoes!! Great idea!! Especially since they measured me 1/2 inch shorter yesterday than two months ago!!! Did I have that much fat on top of my head??? Maybe on the soles of my feet???

anyway..... we're cruisin'!!

Oui, madame! Je parle francais, mais un peux. Je ne peux pas me reppeler. BTW, je suis tres bien and excite!

Cazulay, we talked about the cruise ages ago but only a suggestion. now that there are more of us just bringing it up again to see if there is an interest. i think it would be fab and its something to look forward to i think we deserve it after going through all of this and also we can show off our sexy new bods!!!

Oh and count me in for a cruise .....

Auntie Phyll,

I sent the PowerPoint Before & After thingy to you. Let me know if you got it.

Have you all had a chance to look at it? (those who requested it) It just keeps me inspired.

Hello all my fellow lucky 7's !!!!!!

Sorry it took so long for me to give you some updates....I vowed to read all the missed posts !!!!! That only took me ONE day.

So today is day 4 post op and I'm finally feeling good. The first TWO days were killer !!! The "GAS" was horrendous !!!!! I was using the pain med just for the gas pains. The abdomen feels 'sore' but not bad really. I went for my follow up visit with the doctor today.... all bandages removed, sites healing well, and LOST 12 lbs !!!!! woooohoooo !!

I'm getting tired of the clear liquids.... can't wait to EAT mashed potatoes on Saturday !!!!

Missed you all..... good to be back !!!!

Now I need to work on a new ticker..... Snag

Yay!!! Snaggletooth. Glad to see you're back, too. Everyone's popping back in. That's what we love to see! :biggrin1:

No I haven't seen the power point, what is it ?

About this cruise, do we have to be careful about Hurrican season>?

Gimboree adn Lynette- I can't write but can read French, so no dirty little secrets!:omg: Just kidding of course... I do speak, read and write Portuguese and Spanish however, in case anybody wants to practice. I am originally from Brazil, and DH is from Boston, he brought me over 8 years ago when we were married. That was the reason why I gained weight to begin with, moving to a new country, starting new lifestyle ( marriedxsingle), being away from family, friends and all things familiar... now I am completely adapted to life in TX, but I still have 100 lbs hanging around to remind me of those tough times. They will soon be gone.

Lynette, I can't believe you are already well enough to go around cleaning the house. You are such a warrior! I am going to use this surgery as an excuse not do any housework for a long, long time... lol

Thanks, Cherea! I got it. That's great!! Very inspiring!!

About this cruise, do we have to be careful about Hurrican season>?

Yes!!! I have a friend who had to be evacuated from a port in Mexico last year. Major headache and expensive too. As a matter of fact she ended up housing some brits for a while because there were no flights to Europe. Also, summer is very very hot so we might want to go at another time and avoid skin cancer
