I'm Callin' ALL YOU out!!!

Better late than never.....I am around.  I just got home from a long weekend in OKC.  It was fun!  I have been mostly a lurker since day one.  I will get much better after I have surgery.  June 13th is getting really close.  I am so excited except for the whole up coming pre-op diet!!!   Thanks for pulling me out of my safe, dark, lurking corner!!  ~tommiejean

Hi Everyone.  My name is Amanda.  I am scheduled for lap band on Tuesday May 27th. I have been lurking and looking, but decided to finally post something. So, um Hi :)

Hi Amanda! Welcome to the board and it is nice to "meet" you!  Glad to have you posting! Good luck with your upcoming surgery & keep us posted! Wen

Hi guys. I am here also. Had a bad few days. Tuesday morning getting out of the shower I slipped on the wet floor (plus tripped over the cat) Had to go to ER at 5:30am. Man was I in bad pain. I broke my foot. Where the toes join the foot. Twisted my knee and bruised the crap out of my hip. ( Forgot I had those things.) Well i am on crutches and in a hard shoe. Getting along ok though. Thank God I didn't do this 100 pounds ago. Man I would have damaged a lot more. (Maybe not the hip though. I kept it pretty padded). I had my 6 month check up yesterday with Dr. Roller. I am official down 107.5 pounds. I had to weigh with this stupid shoe on though.. Doing really well. I don't go back to see him till Nov. My 1 year check up.
Nice to hear from everyone.

OMG. That break (where the toes join the foot just makes me cringe THINKING about it).  I am so sorry that happened to you, but you are right in that it could and probably would have been worse had you done this 100 pounds ago.  I hope you bounce back from that soon. OMG about your 107.5 pounds lost too!  YOU GO GIRL! Congratulations! Wen

OMG Carla! You are doing so well with your weight loss. Look at the bright side, crutches will build you some big ol arm muscles.

Thanks That is the bright side I guess. I could use some more muscles on the arms.
