Well i am glad i did I meet Dee and Michael Dillard and i have to say that i love them both!!! They are both so sweet, and i meet another wonderful lady Vickie Stone from pikeville, and she is a knockout!!!! And also i meet Dave aka kernel sanders and all of these are from ky and they use this board. And a special thanks to Amanda Neighbert for being such a great host!!!! And Thank you Dr.Josh Steiner for checking up on me!!!! So for all who wants to take a look i put pictures on my site so go take a peek!!! I was feeling a little crappy but i thought i even looked the part also but all said i looked great............but i hope i get feeling better soon!!!! well thats about it,have a great sunday!!!!! vickie

Vivkie, sounds like you had a good time,you look very nice hope you get to feeling better real soon. Delilah!

Hi Vickie. thanks for your very kind compliment. You are certainly right about the Dillards they are very nice people. I'm glad I went, it was worth it to meet such great people as them and your and your husband. I just can't believe the before and after pictures of you. You look great!!!! And what a difference!!!!. Dee look awesome as well and we can't forget about her beautiful voice. She has missed her "calling" she is meant to sing. Your husband, Steve, seems to be a great guy as well and is certainly proud of you. I really enjoyed going to the ball. I think everybody had a good time. My daughter is sorry she didn't come with me now after I told her about it. I think she will eventually have the band removed and do the RNY, she told me this morning that she is going too as soon as she feels she is ready, she said she is just so "tired of doctors and hospitals, and just wants a reasonable break from them right now". 20 surgeries with 14 being within the last 5 years is a little too much for a 24 year old. I hope you feel better soon. See Ya!!

Hi Vickie, you tell your daughter if she needs anything im always around and the same for you...........and as for the Dillards i bet Dee gets the award for the life of the party!!! I hope we all on this board can get together,you can tell that this board is close and we have great support. You take care ok............vickie

Vickie, I looked on your page and Yall looked great last night at the ball!! Wished I could have went to meet everyone, but God willing I will DEFINATLY be there next year!!! Take care! Jenn

Jenn, it was a blast and yes i plan on attending every year......but i have to say that Dr.Neighbert is not much of a karokee singer,but the office group was pretty dang good............vickie

Vickie, It was great to see you last night also. Hope you had a safe trip home and hope to see you again also. Michael

Glad you had a good time. I am also glad that you felt well enough to go.

Hey Vickie, It was wonderful to meet you and you husband last night also. You two are great and we hope we can get together again soon. Thanks so much for the wonderful compliment also. We had a blast at the Bari-Ball and a big part of that was you two. Tell Stephen hello and we will have to go fishing sometime. I hope you continue to get better and we will see you soon. God Bless, Michael

You DID look good! You were doing great considering your surgery days before. I had read your profile and wanted to meet you. Margery was blown away by your before and after pictures. I really enjoyed Dee's rendition of "Joy to the World." It is so uplifting to see how this surgery makes so many differences in people's lives. I was amazed at how many folks were not aware of all that OH offers through the forums. I hang out in the men's forum and the July, 2005 forum. Dave
