You go girl!!! Sounds like your doing great!  My daughter had her lap band in aug and is down about 80...i remember toooo well every ounce counts! I hope some of you from the east part of the state can come to Dinner with Dr. H and Mona Monday the 21st here in North Platte...Jimmy is posting all the info...  Be see less of you...Beth in NP

I have to confess I have not done a BMI on here or even posted a pic of myself,  I need to sit down and read how do that.

I was weighed on an "official scale" today and I am down 73 pounds. YAA HOO We have been gone on a trip and saw a lot of cousins...........most of them didn't know I had lap band surgery.  It was really great to hear all the comments I did.    When I saw the surgeon that did my colonoscopy he even commented to me that I looked great then I had to tell him what I had done, he asked me lots of questions about the lap band.  The only WLS they do in his group is the gastric bypass. It is a great motivator when people comment to you.   Even at work one of the technicians told me I was looking good...........of course he is twenty years too young for me..........HA HA Barb

Cool....those sound like great ideas.   We're going to try to leave here during the weee hours on Wed morning so Sadie will sleep most of the trip so we'll have Wed and probably most of Thur in the Omaha area before we head back to Dakota City to be with relatives.    We checked out the zoo's website yesterday it looks awesome.    Sadie loves animals so I'm sure it'll be a hit.  Thanks for the info.     You should join us over on the parenting board too...it's actually starting to be active now.
