Saundra - Its at the Elk Elementary Center on Friday nights. Extreme Country Dance Club's Friday Night Dance Schedule: Basic Beginner Line Dance, Beginner Plus Line Dance Class and Intermediate Line Dance Classes are held at 6:30 p.m.; Patterned Partner (Couples) Class is held at 7:30 p.m. followed by an Open Dance from 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

The instructors there are wonderful. Becky is in charge of the entire thing and she is great. I have their numbers if you would like more info. They used to have class one night during the week as well at the Elk Lodge...but im not sure what day/time. However, if you'd like thier numbers you can call them. Becky is really nice. I also have her email if you'd prefer.

Its a lot of fun. We will be back down there at some point....not ever Friday with the price of gas....but every now and then. :D Its great exercise! I will definetly let you know when we are heading down there.

I got ahold of the insurance they have my paperwork in hand and are sending it to be reviewed. Thing is they told me it would take a month. =/ My surgery is supposed to be next month...if it takes a month I guess I'm screwed? -.-

Froggi - hopefully they say that to cover their butts, most places give themselves tons of time so we won't hassle them. I'm hoping it works faster for you.

WVU-FAN - got them, thanks :-)

This is going to be so much fun, everyone getting together and all. It helps motivate me to do something when someone I know is doing it also. My Upper Gi just showed Reflux. So that is good.

I use to work with Brenda, she is a real sweetheart. Ive tried to call her a couple times now today with my ugi results, Brenda must not be in today.

I probably wont make it to Line dancing tonight either thanks to having that ugi today. That barium you have to drink does bad things to me lol.Think I better stay close to home. I remember doing to Electric Slide in Junior high school all the time. Dont know if I remember the steps or not though lol.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
