She is correct. But that is also why I never use any of my family names for ID. I just open a dictionary & point to what ever pg I land on & thats my code. ;0)

My explaination is gonna be a pain, but here it goes:

My friends and I in high school were all into Anime (Japanese Animation), and we all had our own character designs that we'd made up and stories we messed around with (I don't know if we ever thought we'd publish anything, but whatever). My character's name was Marina. At some point in the stories she used Maru so as not to give out her real name. I signed up on a board as Marina-chan one time, and someone asked if they could call me Mari for short. So now it's MariMaru.

In the same grain... my AIM is MysticTaeza. Taeza is a word that I made up for a comic I was working on (again, something started in high school). I might still do something with the story if I ever feel that my drawing skills are up to par, but I'll probably call it something else.

So it's a different flavor of "geek" but geeky none-the-less :)

My screen name isn't so clever-Joanie. But...in real life nobody calls me Joanie-and I never go by it. But, since I was making a new start with the Lap Band-I thought I would by jammin and loosin and go for it!

By the way my husband says that I got "Lap Dance Surgery." ;>)

My first pet's name was Pooter. My moms maiden name is Green.

Stripper Pooter Green. I LOVE IT!

I see so many new people with so few introductions. Tell us how you all got your screen names. There's some really cool stuff going on here! Pacomamma, you should take down the cow and put Paco's picture up (better yet, one of you!) I laughed at your reply!

I have collected butterflies for years. A few years back, while I was doing well on WW (for the 5th time), I had to have a user ID for a site and came up with flutterby2b. Loosing the weight was like shedding a cocoon and hopefully starting a new life. Hence my signature also. (well --I've since gained 48 + # back. :cry and I'm now researching the lapband procedure. )

enjoying this thread and the whole site. Many thanks to all of you for the insite into this procedure.

Just found this thread and loving it. My name is Road Queen is because my last 4 motorcycles (of the dozen that I've had) have been HD Road Kings. I have been riding hd motorcycles for over 25 years. My usual name is schnapps_hd. The loves of my life - my dalmation Schnapps and motorcycling.

I recently read that you should pick an appropriate screen name because someone that reads it may be your next employer - so I didn't think putting alcohol (Schnapps) in my title was appropriate.

But Schnapps is the best name to yell. Those of you with kids know its important to be able to yell their name to get their attention - when I yell "Schnapps" in my neighborhood, I get everyone's attention.

An old boyfriend from highschool called me "Star" I picked Starbright, because I see my future as a lot brighter when I lose some weight. I always like looking at the stars early in the morning when it is quiet and peaceful. My DH leaves at 5:00 a.m so there are lots of stars out then.

All my appointments are done and I am waiting for a date.....anxiety attack happenin'

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
