Hi, All! I'm 3 years post-op. I've always had an interest in scrapbooking, but am just now really diving into it. So glad I found this board! I look forward to sharing information with you all. Kambra Post-op / Glendale, AZ Alan Newhoff 331/165

Hello ladies - let's make this three banders in a row!! I didn't see about a swap but I am game. I also do 12x12 and plan to do that for my WLS scrapbook. Do either of you have a date yet? One thing I read on here once that I thought was a good idea was to take your camera to the operation and have whoever is with you take a picture of you opening the door getting ready to go into the hospital. I think I will do that one. Let me know - not exactly sure how a swap works but I am game for anything when it comes to scrapping. I know another girl that I just met on the main message board that is having RNY who is a scrapper - I bet she would be on for it. Let me know. - Vicki

Ann, I too just found this board. Pretty cool! We sound like twins! I am soon to be banded also, and plan to do a WLS scrapbook. I'd love to start a swap if we're too late for the other one. I'm in Billings, Montana and will have to travel 4 hrs to get the surgery done since they only do gastric bypass here in town. We should be able to find others to do a swap. By the way, I pretty much do 12x12 pages but I may do 7x7 (creative memories) for my WLS book. I really look forward to hearing from you. Email me if you'd like to. [email protected]

Hi, I am new to the bords. I will be having Lap Band soon. Just wondering....what is CTMH? Ann

Hi everyone! I think it's great this site offers this hobbies area! I am Nicole. I live in Arizona, born and raised in New York... been scrapping for almost 8 years now. I design and work at a local scrapbook store near my house... The Mad Scrappers in Cave Creek, AZ. I do alot of design work for them... if you ever stop by you will see many of my layouts in the store. I also do alot of invitations and annoucements for my friends and family, gift albums and tons of other stuff... I do more of that kind of work than scrapbooking my own things! Of course, I am addicted, I enjoy going to the conventions and taking new classes here and there. And also going to crops! Anyone in Arizona? Have a great day! Nicole
