For all of you.....

I'm soo sorry I havent been on the boards, Julie really made me stop and think when she asked if I was going to disappear, and the short answer is NO. You cant get rid of me that easy folks. I may disappear a few days here and there, (or 2 weeks in the case of my mother in law being here from overseas!) but I dont think I'll ever disappear, I have grown way too close to all of you and (being a little selfish here) I need you guys too much! So that being said, I'm going to try to catch up on everything with one post rather than post a million of them. Forgive me please if I dont catch everything or everyone, it doesnt mean I dont care, just that I can be very forgetful at times.
So here goes....

Firstly to Lisa, Vicky,and Cara...Congrats on your surgeries, I'm so glad things went well for you!! I'm sorry I wasnt a better support for you but I have been thinking about you and I'll try to do better.

Julie, Laura, Donnie, Alexia...I've missed Donnie getting his personal goal! (I'm soooo sorry, theres just no excuse for that one. I need to be whipped) Laura going back to school and the beautiful writing assignment, Julies amazing progress (sweetie, you look AMAZING! I hope I wasnt staring too hard at you on Saturday, I just couldnt get over how beautiful you looked!) and Alexia's big wow! Where would this board be without all of you! I've missed so much and I feel terrible about it. I am so very fortunate to consider you all very close friends and I'm sorry I've not been around lately. I'll really try to do better and you all have my permission to kick my butt when I start slacking on my posts. That is if I had a butt! Think when I go for plastics, I could have them put some fat back in there so I'm not quite so flat? hmmm..

Rob...even though I havent posted it, I've been following your progress and all I can say is WOW. You're a true inspiration for pre-ops and I know you're going to be a huge success post-op. Oh, and I'm still waiting to get that hug..Hopefully Thursday?

Danielle..Congrats on your 5k! I hope to be able to join you on one one of these days!

Krista!!!! a boy? and here I thought we were both going to have 2 teenage girls to deal with one day! I'm so happy for you!

Pam..GOAL!!! How exciting! I love watching your posts because it seems like I'm always a few steps behind you and makes me feel like I'm doing ok since you've done so great!

Dianna...so sorry I missed your birthday chick! I was hoping we could celebrate. You and I have to go out some time!

Jen.....sorry I didnt post a reminder earlier for the gathering. It would have been great to see you again! Hopefully you can make the Oct one?(Oct 25 Halloween bash..info to come momentarily!)

To all the new people on the board,WELCOME! You've found the best place on the internet for support of WLS patients in RI and I hope to meet all of you either at a support group meeting or at our monthly get together here at the house.

I'm certain I've missed a few people and I sincerely apologize. I'm sure I'll be kicking myself after I remember! But now Its getting late and I'm going to climb into my bed, I can hear it callling my name...or is that my husband? Either way, I'll end this long winded post until tomorrow (And I WILL be on tomorrow!)

Hey Angela,

  I understand  life can get busy even more so when family comes to visit.   Thanks for your thoughts and prays.   All is going well here..    working the hip everyday.  hope to see you soon going to try to make the support group on thur. 

Lisa

I'm planning to be there on Thur, keep fingers crossed the kids are having a good day and nothing goes wrong at the last minute!

Hi Angela,

I've only been on sporadically myself lately. Thank you for thinking about me during/since my surgery.  I'm feeling great, and coming along marvelously.  I saw Dr. Sax for 1 wk post op today, and all is good.  I go back in two weeks for another check up. 

See you Thursday!
Vicky

I miss the heck outta you girl!!!  Life has gotten crazy here as well, but I REALLY hope to make the Halloween get together- have my costume all ready!  Hope to see ya soon!!!!

Hey Angela,
I totally understand...I haven't been around much either. Hope to see you at RW tomorrow!
Krista

PS Can't say I'm upset about not having TWO teenage girls to look forward to! LOL

YUP Angela....

You forgot about Lil'l Kim... I haven't been  around either TOO much going on but as you said it is hard to forget all these great friends on this site!  It is nice to know that there are people out there for you!

I am trying to get my life back in order! It's been too crazy lately!  Met a new man and have put on 10 pounds - now I have put my brakes on! Have to get back on track AGAIN!

Take care all
