I'm excited too!!! See you all on Saturday

Hi welcome to the forum.. My husband did not agree with the surgery but he also knew that I was unhappy. I too had tried every diet out there, both legal and illegal.. I was an expert at losing weight but would always gain it back.. He finally agreed, that If it was important to me that it was important to him.. I am now much happier with myself and therefore a much happier person in general. Our sex life has increased, now he is happier.. I LOVE MY BAND.. although I have not lost any pounds recently I have not gained and by now I would have gained back some if not all of what I have lost. Good luck with whatever you decide.

JUST HAVING FUN!!!!

I was in the same boat as you. I just told people I was on a 21 day dr. approved liquid diet.. And they seemed fine with that. good luck..

Mine just came in the mail today from amazon.com, but I haven't had time to try it, I work nights, so I will give it a try tomorrow morning and let you know what I think.

bump..... It's coming up soon!!! I'm so excited..

Stormy, that sounds like a wonderful Idea, but $7.50 seems to cheap. I like the Idea of a buffett. Thanks for doing this. Linda

Hey all, I booked my room on hotwire.com I ended up at the Raddison airport. (I was on a budget so I had to go with the cheapest) Not sure how far from the refectory, but I'm sure it's just a short cab ride away.. I will drive to Stormys sisters, so if anyone wants to stay in my room you are welcome to. Or if you want to book your own, you will know where I am. Or maybe we can meet at the hotel and carpool. Anyway see you all on the 8th.

stormy, yes it's still at your sisters, I just emailed 12 people today in the portland area, so I will let you know what kind of response I get. they are bandsters that don't post very often. Hopefully a few will respond.

Isn't it funny the things we keep!! Congratulations on fitting in to them.. You need to take a picture and post it.

I JUST discovered franks hot sauce with lime... It is so good, but also just found out it is so full of sodium I have real issues with salt. So back to tabasco sauce for me. I put it on everything.

I'm sorry you are having a bad time but I know what will cure it DANCING IN PORTLAND If you don't go to OCC are you back to joining us???

Hey Julie, Just ordered mine as well on Amazon, free shipping. can't wait to try it. Thanks Jan for the info

Anita you look great.. How about coming to Portland for the get together, It should be a fun time.. We can teach stormys sister how to make Caesars Keep up the good work.

I am so happy that you finally booked a date Is your hubby ok with it now? Congratulations on losing the 10 lbs. Isn't it a nice feeling that with the help of the band you will lose alot more and not gain it back?

Just bumping this up for anyone that may not have seen it. It's going to be fun!!!!! WHAT HAPPENS IN PORTLAND.. STAYS IN PORTLAND. (Just don't tell my mom, she still scares me!)

Hi, you look great. I was banded May 14, and I always have port pain. It's more of an annoyance than anything, Mine is tilted and sticks out quit a bit and seems to ache more after I eat. I plan on going back to OCC and have it placed lower once I lose all my weight. It's nothing I can't live with. I also work out quit a bit, so I figure thats why.

Hey you took the first step. Too funny... My wings flap everytime and I hate it!!! It won't be long and you will breeze through the program. Thanks for the chuckle

Thanks Mindy, 32 minutes is all it takes on Max to pick up my rental car at the airport from downtown. My mom lives at Marshall Manor, sounds like it right around the corner from where you work.. See you next month.

OMG you are so beautiful and a true inspiration to us all. Looking foward to meeting you in portland next month.

Hi welcome to the forum, I live in Point Roberts, and the nearest location to us in this neck of the woods is the Arlington WA. location http://northwestfills.com/education.php. They are wonderful, and hopefully soon they will travel to bellingham. I am very happy with the band and the after care I get a nw fill center.

My favorite now is Turbo Jam, mon. wed. and fridays I do the cardio party, i alternate between mix 1 and 2, I do not like or reccomend mix 3. (the dance moves are to hard) on tues. and thursday I have been doing the 20 minute cardio and turbo sculpt. So far so good but still to early for results this time. Last time I did it 2 years ago the results were great. I just quit doing it and started eating again and gained back everything I had lost. The turbo jam program (DVD) also comes with stand up ab work out that I like. My all time favorite work out is from the 80's called freedanse, I still to it once in awhile, I still have it in beta (HA HA) I would reccomend renting them first or buying them on ebay.

Hey Mindy I just went on the urban waxx website and your profile picture there is beautiful. My mom lives on 20th and northrup, is that near where you work?

Julie thanks again for putting this together, Lunch then hor-de-vors sound good to me as well. I have voted. can someone tell me does max run from downtown to the airport??
