Hi everyone!

We have decided to have another get together next month and would like to invite anyone that'd like to join us! Whether you are pre-band, newly banded or an old band pro. Everyone is welcome!

Where: Polaris Mall food Court

When: Saturday February 9, 2008

Time: 2pm

Look for us near the entrance to the Great Indoors store. We will have a poster and a helium balloon marking our group.

All you have to bring is your smile!

I have alot of capris in size 18 if your interested, for when you make it there in the summer time. I started in a size 20 so a size 16 is feeling pretty good.

That's very sweet. I'd appreciate it! I live in capris! I can't wait until I can donate my clothes to those who need them! Maybe we can make this part of our meetings as we all shrink away.

I think that is a great idea! I can't wait to box up clothes and give them away...I am thinking by early summer I will be ready...as long as my surgery will be in March like I have planned!

I wore size 18 pants to work today and didnt feel like a stuffed sausage all day!!

and they didnt even have an elastic waist!!!

some 18s fit better than others though. i have already bought a couple of size 16s from the thrift store for the day i can fit in them.

i havent worn a 16 since i was 16!!!

That's awesome, Debbie!

I'll have some 20s to pass on soon - it's my current size. I have about 12 pair of 18s from when they actually fit already on reserve, so no need to wear the 20s once I can fit in the 18s.

I hate to say it but when I was 16 I wore a size 7

Yes, a size 7. I can only dream!

I have some size 22's to pass on if anyone can use them. I am looking for size's 18 to 20. Or any scrubs lg . I have 2xl scubs to pass on also!!

I think it would be great if anyone with clothes to share would just bring them to the get together. I plan to dig through my things and see what I can come up with. Someone might be able to use them and if not they'll be ready for the donation box :-)

Ohhh, I might be able to use the 22's. I think that is about what size I am in now, although I haven't bought clothes in a long time! I think I will have some scrubs you can have, too. Do you have to wear a certain color? I am in a 2x scrub now, so if you want my smaller scrubs for now I am willing to trade! Heck, it will prob be a while before I would even fit in them, and by then you will swim in them!

Hi,

I was banded Oct 9, 2007. Down 52 pounds. Still miles to go, but really happy so far.

I'm very glad to find people like me meeting. I'll be at the Feb 9 meeting at Polaris Mall which is only 5 miles from my house, btw.

I had the band with Dr. Price at Mt. Carmel East.

Seebs.

Hi Seebs! Welcome. I am so looking forward to the 9th! It seems so far away!!!!!!

I'm glad you're going to join us. We should have a pretty decent turn out and I can not wait to meet everyone!!!!!

Is it the 9th yet???? I can't wait to meet you all!

Seebs -- I have also selected Dr. Price! Can't wait to meet you at the get together. I am waiting for insurance approval now, it was submitted yesterday to Aetna!

I am looking forward to actually knowing people in my same situation. you can talk to your DH until your blue in the face but he can never really understand the feelings that go along with having this band.

I'm not sure if I'm going to make it down or not. That's 3 days before my surgery, and not only am I miserable on this pre-op diet, I'm tired of driving! LOL

I'll catch y'all at the next one :party:
