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'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:

Angie,

If you can make it that'd be great... we can Celebrate your impending surgery and help you take your mind off of the pre-op diet for a few hours.

Are you getting excited????

I am so suprised the doctor isn't making you take a support person to the hospital with you. Mine did.

Well, I'm sure they WANT me to, but I'm not sure what exactly I can do. lol

Mine would not have performed the surgery without a support person there, he would have sent me home. You may want to ask these questions.

They know my situation. :smile:

That good! Didn't want you to get all the way here and get stuck. Good luck to you.

Thanks. Yeah, I would have been not thrilled with that outcome. LOL

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!

Nursenikki that would be great!! I will bring my 2xl for you and the 22's. I can wear any color scrubs!!! I really love this group!!!

I have a few 24s that are hemmed for my shortness. If anyone is interested I'll bring them.

HI If I decide to come I have clothes from 28-22 I can bring. I'm looking for 18-20 and below. Lots are cute and trendy.

That sounds great! I am soooo looking forward to this, guys! Last night I went to the support group at Mt Carmel West. I had a really good time. It was great to see people tell their stories and share such personal things. The only downfall was most of the people there were GBP patients not lap band. I did get to meet two great women who were 8weeks out. both had the lap band and were down 30 lbs. They look great and were very helpful with specific questions I had. I left there feeling really good about my decision to do this, and I think it will be a place of support for me. (My DH isn't really on the BANDwaggon) They are also adding a emotional support group, too. It is going to be on Tuesday nights. I think this will be a big help as time goes on....

Hi everyone! I'm planning to come too! I know you're not yet familiar with me---I'm fairly new to the LBT site. I'm not yet banded-April 10th!! I am really looking forward to meeting you guys...I can hardly wait to have people to go through this with, and admire those who have already begun accomplishing some goals!

Ummm...I don't have any clothes to share. I'm still wearing them!

Hey ladies, I have a favor! My dh is planning on keeping the kids busy at Polaris while we chat, but last night he asked if maybe he could talk to you guys, too. He said he has some questions about surgery and the entire process that he would love to have answered, and figured you girls would have the answers. Do you guys mind?

I don't mind. My husband will be there also with our daughter just looking around the mall. So perhaps they can talk as well so he can have the husband perspective.

I am bringing a large box of size 18's for you guys to go thru.
