They have added a forum for us - let's post here... So we can share with the new people....

Still no grandbaby yet. DD is going to ask Doc to induce her tomorrow but I doubt he will. I feel like I am getting a cold and that would be horrible if I can't hold the baby!

Denise - Kid's now adays no patience :thumbup: as we know the baby will come when he's ready - Take some extra vit c - o.j. (lite :wink2:) rest and they do make mask

Well I have a little bit of news - I have been asked to sit on a Lapband patient advisory council by the Allergan people - I am going to Vegas 6/27-29 and staying at the Wynn

How cool is that :cool::tongue:

Indio - That's fabulous! Congratulations. You will made a great participant - you are articulate and eager to contribute.

Enjoy.

Congrats on getting chosen for the advisory council. Have you ever been to the Wynn? Such a nice place. Hope you have a great time!

Thanks Taps

The problem will be me talking too much - giving my tought band love (operative word love) and I am not always very subtle. Things come out of my mouth before my brain really thinks - at least here and I read and retype my posts

Janet, that's wonderful news. How did it come about that you were chosen to do that, I think that would be an honor and something I'd like to do someday after I lose all my weight. Congrats!!

I guess maybe my doc - not really sure got an email back in Jan or Feb inviting me - then invitation came in the mail yesterday...

Apple, no I haven't been there - website says 5 diamond hotel and me personally I wouldn't spend that kind of $$$ for a room - I like the Mirage and once x & i stayed in the Gold Nuggett in old town and rooms were cheap and looks like the had just remodeled - but that was like 8 yrs or so ago if not longer - the last time I was in Vegas was a couple of years ago for my Son's wedding at the tropicana - and I really watched the kids - so didn't do anything drove up Friday cam home Sunday - I don't even think i put one quarter in a slot

From all that I have gathered here on this site - it's mostly about the diff rules that each doc has (why) - heck people don't know what to eat for their stages - I think some patients don't have enough education about what the band entails - support - mental work involved - but we will see - they will most likely be sorry they invited me :redface:

Janet that is so cool! I can't wait to hear all about it after you come back.

Yep - but now a days traveling on a plane is a big pain in the A$$ - I haven't flown in about 2 yrs - so this new 3 oz clear bottles in a baggie is a pain :redface:

Hows everyone doing - I am surprised you Marchies aren't here posting like crazy :redface: When I was first banded I was here and my monthly group - but heck 8 1/2 months later and I am still posting like crazy - I have like over 2 thousand post since I joined in May of last yr,

Carol & the 2 Brenda's How are you girls doing ???

Denise you haven't been to Dairy Queen have you :tongue:

Well, I just got back from the gym - loaded dish washer from my grandsons dishes - he is a great cleaner but for some reason he will just leaves his dishes in the sink - well at least they make it to the sink:tongue:

Took out some salmon for dinner - and got online.. But it's quite tonite

So I guess I will ck back later..

Take care everyone

Janet, how great. I am sure you will have plenty of info to share with us when you get back.

My DR office has 2 different sites for surgery and each hospital has their own "support" system, even though you can attend any classes, support group for meeting for wither site. But i went to a support group the other ight and even the basic water/protein reuirements were different..so even when the DR are the same the hopsital group had different requirements.!!!!!

How weird is that - My hospital just started a lapband only group but I gotta drive 20+ miles - it's from 6-8 so I don't get home until after 9 and I have gone to one - but truly like it here better - it's open 24/7 - I don't have to drive:tongue:
