My 3rd Year Anniversary - Yesterday

Well, hello, my dear friend Lucy!! It seems like waaaay to long since we've chatted! I'm so sorry to hear about the really difficult year that you've had. Sounds like you've had some tough adjustments. I wish you all of the best with the lap band. I hope it works for you and that you will find the peace that you're looking for. Did you ever get things straightened out with your plastic surgery issues? If I remember right, you had had some complications. Take care of yourself!!! Hugs, Kerri

Hi Kerri. I got my first fill with my lap band but I don't feel any different. I am going back for another visit on July 28th, so I will get more fluid put in my band. He only put in 3 cc. this time. I don't recall having any complications from my plastic surgery. I had a facelift done in November and that went well. I am not having any more plastics until I can get my weight down and stabilized. I see that it is past your 3rd year anniversary... Wishing you a belated Happy Anniversary! Have you done any more marathons? I sure miss our group here. It seems like we've floated away. Hugs, Lucy

Hi Lucy, I hope all is going well for you. I truly believe you will make it. I gained about thirty pounds and am trying to grt back on track, I did well on a cruise that I recently took with my family, my Mom and my in-laws. We had a great time until my Mom fell in Cozumel and broke her hip. She and I were medivaced to Palwaukee ad then taken to Rush North Shore. We got to the hospital at 7 in the morning and she had surgery at 9:30 to put 3 pins in. She is in rehab at the Whitehall and is doing quite well. The surgery was two weeks ago yesterday. Beth and her husband made all the arrangements for this. In the meantime, Iam trying to get back into an everyday routine of going to the health club. I have about 6 weeks more before school starts and I am trying to make the most of it. I'm sending my son Joey off to Univ of Iowa in 6 weeks also. We both need to keep thinking about where we started and it is still a positive thing even if we are not pleased right now. We won't ever go back to where we were, especially you. I am going back this week and start the 5 day pouch test to see if I can get back a little bit. I also am working hard to get my vitamins and calcium back on track. Take care and best wishes. Aleece
