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?

dmtjet, how close to the OHIO border are you in PA??

Lynette, How cute!!! I bet it is a hoot to hear him talk!

About your honey, so sorry he has to deal with headaches like that! They definitely will ruin your day!!! They stop you right in your tracks! I used to have migraines all the time, but last few years they haven't really bothered me, thank goodness!

Well, I guess it's time to hit the sack. It's been great laughs tonight.

At least we gave them a good read, didn't we!!

and an adorable little hick at that.

well ya'll (sorry, couldn't resist) - i'm out. gotta get up early to get ready for work and get my little one off to camp. have a great night everyone! sorry to miss any of the fun, but i'm beat! :faint:

btw...i just noticed they have actual chat rooms on this site (i'm slow, but i usually catch on eventually!!). we should try that sometime...makes for much faster conversation! this was fun tho

g'nite all!

dmtjet, how close to the OHIO border are you in PA??

I believe 3 to 4 hours. Bottom of PA on the Ohio side. Not really that far. We used to go to Sea World quite a bit when the girls were young and my hubby was born in Euclid, Ohio.

dmtjet, did you know that Sea World is gone!!! I had been onve and wanted to take my son. It's not there anymore.

I'm way down at the opposite of Ohio, right arossed the border in KY.

There's a lot of us fron the East coast on here.

Night icybreeze, I'm heading out too.

Yes, this was fun and yes, we should do the chat next time!!! I enjoyed it, it is always nice! We did have quite the SPICY EVENING!!!!!!

Til next time! Night all! And I will let you know how this evening/morning turns out! Just think 21 years ago today, I was having a baby! Gee, you worry your whole life!!!! LOL

Hope everyone under the weather (Lynette's Honey) and anyone else struggling that is banded feels better in the morning! Good luck to all new banders, can't what to hear back from the all!!!!

Nighty, Night!!!:notagree

I heard it was gone, but didn't they make it a Six Flags? I thought I heard that, but may be wrong! Yeah, really your aren't that far away! We need to map it all out and see just where everyone is! I find it amazing that we come from different places, different times zones, different backgrounds, nationalities, beliefs, customs, etc. and we all come together due to one little band!!! It is awesome! We are people that would have NEVER even touched one another's lives any other way!!! I find it mind boggling and just the neatest!!! Night again!!!! :notagree

Lynette, if you scroll down to the bottom of the thread and watch Hunter's beautiful little face as you go, it looks like he is talking to you!!! I can almost hear his accent, lol!!!! Night, Hun!!!:notagree

Wow, great minds think alike. I love Red Lobster too... was there last week. My DH prefers sushi (which I love too), but my mom was from Newfoundland, so lobster is in my blood!!!!

Jeanie & Sunny, we'll have to meet at a Red Lobster some day!

We have to grab Lynette, too. She said it was her favorite place :biggrin1:

Icy, I'm just joking with you. I'm actually from OHIO, born and raised. Came to KY when I met my DH about 7 years ago. I have picked up on the southern accent very well, but not to the point where I say "Y'all" and things like that. It comes and goes. My son however, is all Kentuckian. He's a little hick as we call them!!

allright...don't know y'all. You may have noticed I type it all the time. I just don't know what word to substitute. I was born and raised in Savannah Ga and have the southern accent to prove. Works very well up north with guys..

I am glad to know y'all have decided to slip on down into the gutter with me. Jeanie, I am like you. I can see the naughty side in alot written here. Makes me laugh out loud :)

Hello everyone!

I just joined, and just got banded a week ago, July 17!! I'm pretty excited =D

and I must admit Lapbandtalk helped me decide to go with the banding. I'm really excited about the journy. And it's really great to have a place to look to for support, topics and chit-chat about lapband.

So hello fellow Julybandsters!

jfk and Biggest Loser - welcome to bandland via Dr. K!! I thought he was awesome! I'm glad you had good experiences and are recovering well!

As for Red Lobster...I'm now picturing Red Lobser's around the continent with banded women all eating at the same time and sitting with their laptops at the table to chat with everyone else! Haha! Just a side note...anyone aware that I'm on the coast? King crab here as often as I want! In the winter it's better becaue you don't need a boat, just a snowmachine, auger, and a crab pot...usually 7-8 king crab a pot! Oh yeah, can't wait for winter!:hungry:

I go away for a softball game and a zillion pages of posts go by...now everyone's in bed. DANG!

G'nite all!

My banding went great today! In fact, I read somebody else's post from today that said they found a hernia that they had to fix first. That is is funny, because the SAME thing happened with me today! Maybe it is more common than we know. The doctor said that it should help with acid reflux problems!

I was pretty miserable right after surgery with the pain in my shoulders and my nausea. Once I got home and took some pain meds. and slept a few hours I began feeling much better. When I was hurting so badly right after surgery I was beginning to wonder what I had been thinking. I am better now and I can definitely attest to the fact that walking around helps with the gas pressure. I feel better after every time I walk.

The barium swallow wasn't as bad as I had imagined. In fact I liked it because it seemed to settle my stomach and I was quite worried about vomiting.

I have 2 and 3 year old daughters and they have been so sweet "taking care" of me. They are good little girls and big helpers! I also have my mom, hubby, best friend, and 2 aunts to help me out over the next few days.

I am glad it is over and I can really get OnMyWay now!

Good luck and lots of prayers to everyone up tomorrow!!

My banding went great today!

Hey! Congrats! and good luck with the recovery and the journey! :whoo:
