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?

Prairielover, click on anyone's ticker and it will take you to the site to make one! I know what you mean about appreciating what you CAN have! LOL

Becca, what a hoot!!! People are unbelievable!!!! They don't even try to understand it sometimes! Wouldn't it be nice if it were that way??????

Prairielover:

Who's on board at the moment?

Me!!! I'm here.

My computer has been giving me all sorts of trouble, so I will post a brief message and keep my fingers crossed.

About me: I am 31 years-old, have been married for 8 years to Jeff, and we not have kids, nor do we plan on them. We have two cute kiddies, Bonnie and Becky. We have been living in Central Texas since getting married. I am a Biligual Elementary School teacher, and love, love, love, love, love every minute of it! I want to be healthier to be able to keep up with them.

OK, I will try posting and see if this one goes thru...

It is very very busy but lots of fun having a house full! This particular band is done by a doctor in Houston TX. The main issue with the first band is that it was non adjustable and as all of us know there is no such thing as a one size fits all. So it may work great for some but not be loose or tight enough for others. This is going to be a very different experience for me. They made us eat solids before we left the hospital with the non adjustable band. But I do not regret getting it at the time. The lap-band was just starting to catch on in the U.S. and I did not feel comfortable personally having the bypass. But I was near 300 pounds when I had it done and I weigh 230 now. I know that if I had not had it I would have just kept on gaining. But I am ready to pull the rest of this weight off.

You and I must be neighbors!!! I live in Central Texas also.

Me!!! I'm here.

hey baby girl how you doing? i'm missing you guys. actually i'm having problems with staff and i just taught to myself i wish i could just talk to on of my lucky 7's. for me that is so strange i've never been a cha room type person. how are little hot sausage?

OK Folks, I think this might work. I figured out the ticker, figured finally how to get it on the signature. This is just to see if it worked, do not mind me, just keep on chat'n this is just my little test.

Hey! I'm doing good. We definitely miss you. I know all about staff problems. No fun. Sometimes adults act like little kids at times. At times, you're more of a babysitter than a supervisor!

I hear ya about not being a chat room/online talk type person b/c I wasn't, either. And look at us now!!!

How are you doing? Are things going well band/healthwise??? How bout Annafrancesca? Adam?
