You look great Mindy. Can't wait to meet you in person at the portland get together.

Cathy you look great!! You have come so far in such a short time. I love the decorations on your mantel as well. I love fall

I was gassy before surgery and it hasn't got any better!!! I am so lucky my husband broke his nose years ago and his sinuses are not working correctly, I also used to get the half burb or what I would call the reversed hiccup. They stop after awhile. Enjoy your band.

OMG You look wonderful I want your body...your gorgeous face......your dressess....and your incredible thoughtful husband...

Where is Rockingham?? Tried to look it up and can't find it? Welcome to the group.

bump

I saw it once and voted!! now I have spent the last 10 minutes looking for it WEIRD EH!!

Ok no turning back for me, I just booked amtrak from bellingham to portland, It was only 60 bucks round trip, cheaper than driving and I was able to get a rental car for $9 a day, ok 12 with tax so for less than $120.00 I don't have to drive. I hate driving through Seattle, beautiful city but way to much traffic. So please lets keep the date the same. again time is no problem because I'm coming in on thursday and staying until monday. Looking foward to meeting everyone. (cara we will have to meet in seattle sometime or you can come up north and we can meet in the middle) everyone have a good day.

DON'T GO TO TIJUANA!!!!! COME DANCE WITH ME Ok I'm being selfish sorry

Location is the same for lunch, Cara was just thinking maybe a little later, either a late lunch or early dinner. just to give us more time to get there and not so much time in between lunch and going out dancing. So we just need to decide if the time stays at 1 or change it to 4. which ever time allows more people to attend is fine with me. I say lets keep it at 1 so stormy can join us!!

I remember someone writing on here that "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I love that saying, it is so true EH!! you are doing great, Keep up the good work. =D> =D> =D>

I'm thinking about the Holiday express on stark. It would be close to both our locations since it is right off the 205. I'm just waiting for a call back from my brother, to make sure that it's an ok place. Now as far a the Unicorn, being the hot babes we are, we could earn some extra money Just kidding. LOL I will let you know when I book for sure, It will have 2 double beds. so whoever wants to stay can. we can always get a roll away as well. have a good day everyone.

Oh come on girls, we can't go out shaken our booties if you don't stay the night!!!!! we can all cram in my room, or pass out, Just bring a sleeping bag.

Trina, I am very happy for you, Just remember to chew chew chew, and don't try to wash anything down that might get stuck. glad to hear from you. you have been missed.

The refectory sounds perfect, Is that off division? It's been awhile since I lived in Portland. And along time since I went to any clubs there. FUN FUN FUN, COUNT ME IN

When I was overfilled i gained weight, I guess it was because I was drinking more calories, and higher sodium content, once I got back to my old routine the weight started to come back off. I am now at a plateau, but I'm ok with that, for now anyway. I'm sure I need a tiny fill, but I am chicken to get one. Hang in there you are doing great and I am so looking forward to meeting you next month.

Thanks Jann, I have had both procedures done, but never really new exactly what they did! great videos

I LOVE TO DANCE, I know what your saying about the teenie bopper thing, I am up for anything, just don't want to drink and drive, but they do have cabs. My family dosen't know I was banded, (I still hide my tattoos from my mom and I'm 47) so I am going to make up some story about meeting all my new pen pals. So I can book a room where ever. I really want to go to clackamas to Stormys sisters place, and who knows, we might run into Tayna Harding lol!!! Then we can carpool or cab it to a night club and shake what are mammas gave us!! BANDSTERS GONE WILD, I can see the headlines now! This will work out good, we do lunch and those that want to party on do, I meet my first husband at the FLOWER DRUM, In Gresham, they used to call it the chinese cowboy. Anyone remember that place?? 1979!! I know I am old.. but I can still shake it. I am so excited about this, (you can tell I don't get out much) wow i am rambling.. so you pick the place and I will be there to dance the night away.

Congratulations on being banded!! You described it just like I remember it. You will love your band.

EXACTLY!!!! I will let you guys know for sure where I book my room for that night.. Hope you can make it

too funny, is the bar still there??? the songs where so funny My claim to fame is breaking out with the chicken dance at a moments notice, carry the music with me at all times.

Lisa, I will let you know what i book, it will be close to the mall. I won't be able to carpool down, I will have to make this a family thing, so I will probably come on a wednesday and go back on a monday, but we can all ride to the restaurant together. Stormy, I am a bartender and I love hole in the wall places, my husband and I always try to find them when we travel. they are the best!! I get drunk quickly since i have been banded :lb12: but I still enjoy my cocktails, just not as many, or sometimes to many. Anyway lets keep everyone updated and keep this post bumped until everyone in the Northwest knows.

Thanks for the info Stormy, Just don't want to drink and drive, My family lives downtown, North Portland and Troutdale. So I think I will grab a room by the mall, do some shopping and take advantage of no sales tax. This should be fun. Looking foward to meeting everyone.

I think the more the Merrier ... And good for your sisters business as well

Hey Cara, I will be getting a room for that night, You can bunk with me if you like, I just talked to carolyn who was banded the same day as myself and she lives in Portland, she would love to come as well, so this should be a good time.
