Hi Stephanie! Wow, you and Amanda only a day apart! That will be an exciting week, and I expect you both to post as soon as you feel up to it! Its just around the corner! Getting nervous/excited, anything like that yet? ~T

Hi Christie!! Thanks for posting! I haven't seen Dream in ages, but hopefully she'll see us and drop us a line.

Hey all you Kansas WLS people! I am a lap-bander in the KC area and am asking for you help today, with something that has nothing to do with weight loss! Although, I've lost 71 pounds since last April with my lap-band, so am available to answer any questions you newbies may have! My friend, DAVID BURGE is a finalist on the Anchor for a Day contest on the Today Show in NYC. I thought what better place than here on the boards to ask for you help in voting him to the championship! DAVID has made it to the final 2...NOW, we just have to vote for him before 4pm today, so he can host the show on Thursday! Please click on the link and vote for DAVID BURGE. Thanks! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17186551/

My name is Lori I am waiting for my RYN date.

If you are looking for a somewhat local less expensive dr. I am from ks and am traveling 140 miles (about 2 hrs) to Edmond OK (weightwise.org) and it's 15,000 which I know is still alot but much less then some. The Bariatric Hospital is wonderful and they have a great team. This price includes all surgery pre and post op care and 1 year fills and follow up care when you add all this together thats really good. Good luck to you, Amanda
