Hi Allie,
Welcome! Not from bama but from Mississippi, kinda close, where in Alabama are you?

[Allie]

I am from a little town close to the MS line. I live 30 minutes from Columbus??

Allie, I am on the coast. I know where your talking about, probably about 4 hours from me, maybe not that much....

Hi Allie, welcome to Band2gether! Tell us about your stats - i.e. your height and starting weight and goal weight and how your surgery went. How did you find B2G? Where do you work? What's your dog's name? What kind of shoes do you like? OK, I'm just being silly, but we do want to know more about you!

Thanks for joining B2G, congrats on your band and best wishes on your journey!

Well- about me... I am 5'6. My starting weight was 242! I want to be about 135--give or take a few!! I have been on lap band talk and I was reading and found this site, so I thought I would give this one a try!!! :thumb: I work part time at a gas company. I am getting my Marketing degree, and then I am going to Beauty College. My best friend and I are going to open a SPA!!! She is a massage therapist!! I cannot wait!! I am a girly girl, but I do like to ride my four wheeler, hunt, and fish!! I have been engaged since Feb. 06!! He is a wonderful man, and stands behind my decisons!!! :kiss:

[Allie]

Yeah we are not that far!! DO any lap banders ever have a "get together" or anything?? LOL I think it would be cool if we did that!!!

Allie,

I shall now refer to you as the "Irony Monkey". I don't really know if you'll like the name but... I think you might not have a choice.

I mentioned in a thread that I didn't want posts showing up in the most recent threads with the title "Heya!" from someone posting in the Alabama forum.

Well, here you are, Heya from Alabama. Therefore, you ARE the irony monkey.

Thank you for not missing your queue and welcome to b2g!
