Topic: RE: To Bridesmaid or not to Bridesmaid. That is the question.
Hi Val...Long time since we heard from you. Have missed hearing from you. Congratulations on your new house.
About your dilemma of the bridesmaid offer. That is a wonderful honor to be asked to participate in your friend's wedding.
I think it would be up to you and how comfortable you would feel wearing a strapless dress. Would you be self concious and miserable throughout the whole affair? Being a Hostess and having your husband Host with you is just as much an honor and perhaps something you would be more comfortable doing. I have heard that you are very outgoing and gracious and this seems to be a good job for you. You want to enjoy the day and please your friend as well so follow your heart and be honest with yourself. Either "job" is an honor to be asked to perform so go with your feelings and enjoy this wonderful event with your friend.
(by the way my Birthday is Nov. 15th.....and my Lap RNY is the 19th....my best birthday present ever.)
Hugs,
Sandy

Topic: To Bridesmaid or not to Bridesmaid. That is the question.
Hi all!
Sorry, haven't been around much, still settling in to the new place. My computer seems to only be on when I have to do bookwork or payroll, these days.
I have an issue I am having a hard time with, and I'm looking for some insight. A good friend of mine is getting married in May, and she asked me yesterday to consider being a bridesmaid. She said "before you answer, I want to tell you that the dress is strapless." She knows me well....I'm not sure I would be comfortable in a strapless dress. Number One, I'm going to be 49 next Monday. Things are not as perky as they used to be, and WLS hasn't helped the situation. I've never had great arms, and the batwings are "battier". Both the other bridesmaids are 10-20 years younger than me. One is larger than I, the other is an itty-bitty thing. I hope to have lost more weight by May (I am going to get a fill today in Minot which will hopefully kick my butt into gear) which won't help the batwings, either. My friend has had WLS and she understands how things are, but she's 10 years younger and her skin has snapped back pretty well. That's why she's giving me the option of bridesmaid or host & hostess with my hubby.
The day is her day, and not about me, but I also want her to have a beautiful wedding and not have me falling out of my dress or flapping my "wings" all over the place. I am soooooo honored that she has asked me, and with any other dress with sleeves I'd jump at it. I just don't know if I can get past the discomfort I know I'll be feeling. HELP!

Topic: Bismarck area band group
Some of us who live in the Bismarck area and have had lapband surgery are getting together once a month for dinner and support.
Please let me know if there is anyone who would like to join us?
Topic: RE: Surgery on Dec 9th
I am an old bandster of a year but I would be happy to be a friend. Dr. Schmitt did my lap band also. If you get to Bismarck before email me and maybe we can get together as I live in Bismarck.
Topic: RE: New
Ditto on your surgery date. I had lap band surgery about a year ago. I love it. Once I got restriction it was so incredible.
I hope you like your band as much as I do.

I cannot figure that out either. I can download pictures on the page itself but not the other.
