TGIF Roll Call

Thanks Lisa.  I appreciate all of the support I get here.

Good Morning all.

I've been missing for a few days. Been extra busy. Only a few minutes of internet time. LOL.

This morning, I plan to hit a few Yard Sales, then pick up the last minutes food items for Jantzen's Party tomorrow. Then home to cook a little and organize some things.

This evening we will go see my mom's Spring concert. She is in an Alumni Choir from her high school that raises money for scholarships for current students. It's not always the most fun event, but she toted her ass to every event my sister and I were in, so we support her and go to hers.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We will be jam packed busy so I doubt I will be online at all. With Jantzen's Party tomorrow and Hershey Park Sunday......we will be pooped by Sunday evening.

Happy First Birthday Jantzen!!

You know there will be plenty of pics on FB by Saturday night if I can get to my computer! LOL.

Thanks.......

Oh I'm counting on it!!

I can't believe he's a year old already!!!  Happy birthday, Jantzen!! 

Wait?!?!  You are NOT bringing the entire party to Liz's house?!?! Damn - now I have to take back the VERY EXPENSIVE gift I was going to bring! :)

Nah, don't take it back. I will find a way to get it! LOL

Good morning, PA!

Busy couple of days ahead.  Paul has a couple of appointments today, then we pick his son up from school.  I need to go to UPS to pick up my Netrition order.  (I signed the form that it was ok to leave it at my house, but the driver apparently ignored that.)  Tonight I need to bake some sugar free cupcakes to take to my mom's tomorrow.  I'll ice them in tomorrow morning, as well as make a couple of batches of Carbquik cinnamon rolls.

I had my 9 month followup with Dr P yesterday.  She was very pleased with my progress.  While there, I went upstairs to visit the nurses.  I ended up visiting Jeff, who was just about 2 hours postop and having a lot of pain.  I tried to reassure him that each day would get better.   I also told him and his wife about this board and encouraged them to get support.  Let's keep him in our thoughts and prayers that he's feeling better!!!

Have a great day, everyone!!!

Good morning PA!  I want to introduce myself to all you wonderful people.  My name is Todd and I am currently in the process of seeking approval from my insurance company for a RNY.  I have chosen Dr. Anita Courcoulas as my surgeon. I live in Mt. Pleasant which is about 40 minutes from Pittsburgh.  I have been lurking for a bit, getting to know everyone and trying to learn as much as possible about what is coming my way.  My quick story.  I have always been a big guy.  I was a Football and Volleyball player in high school and when I graduated  I was 6'4" and 240 lbs.  Next came college!  The weight gain began.  I figure I have averaged an 8-10 pound increase in weight per year for the last 22 years.  I currently weigh 400 lbs.  I am to the point in my life where I cant take this anymore!  Enough is enough.  I need to be healthy for myself and my family.  I hope to get to know you all and learn from your accomplishments and mistakes.  Any advice, support, or critique is welcome.  Thanks!  Have a great day PA.
