I'm a bariatric assistant. Because of patient confidentiality, I can't disclose her name. I can say that she loves her results and has made a 100% recovery. Well I gave her a button from a site I made that has a lot of Mary Kay things on it, and she insisted I put it up for you ladies. Even gave me ideas a slogans. The site is: cafepress.com/bepretty I got her the "I Love Lipstick button", because she really loooooved lipstick and that's what sucked $12 out of me every visit she made. Well enjoy!!! I forgot to ask her, but what does THINK PINK mean? Let me know how you like it.

Okay fellow MK and WLS friends! I am claiming my dream!! I emailed it to my director and my team leader this and wanted to share it with everyone. Here are my Dreams for this year and beyond! *Earn MK career car in the next 3-4 months *To be in DIQ by career conference *To be Director or better by Seminar *$5000 a month in personal sales *To upgrade MK Career Car by 12/31/06 *To make $100 K or more by 12/31/06 *To be NSD as fast as possible! And here is how that relates to my personal goals for this year I want to loose 100-150 pounds by 12/31/06 (lap-banded on 12/19/05). At end of December 2006 see if I can be approved by Dr to get pregnant. Then see my infertility Dr start the process for in-vitro! I am 32 and my biological clock is ticking...tic,tic,tic,tic,tic,tic..... so next December I will be 33 and married 10 years w/no children yet. I am making 2006 my life changing year in body, soul, career, finance, and family! Just to give you all a little history I have been in MK for 2 years this Month (hobbying until Nov. 05) Now it is my full time career....I quit corporate America!! YEAH!!!! I saw an infertility specialist for about 7 months when talking to him about weight loss surgery and he is one of the reasons I chose my surgeon and to have Lap-Band. My insurance covers in-vitro and he is a very conservative Dr and only implants 3 embryos at a time so I would not have to go through the selective birth process (I dont think I could do that anyway) if they implant 5-6 and all of them stay and then you have a litter instead of a few.lol a few?Whew! Also if this doesn't work we will probably try to adopt in 2008! That is why I am getting my MK career on the right path so that I can be there with my future children (birth or adopted) when I need too. Also for the financial security that I know MK brings. So tell me what your Dreams are for the coming year(s)! I will pray for you and ask only that you pray for me!! Tonya C Jacksonville, FL Banded 12/19/05 MK 12/16/03

I was shocked to find an MK board too! I am in Jacksonville Florida and have been a MK consultant for 2 years (hobbying and getting the discount!) But I am serious now I just invested in the whole store and am going to do the Lap-Band WLS. Tomorrow is my big day! I will be at the hospital at 8:00AM tomorrow! And I am kinda in a weird time in my business. I really want to pursue it but with the surgery and heal time I am really probably looking at the first of the year! This was so exciting to find WLS/MK message board. I will be checking in often I hope all of you do as well! Tonya Pre-op surgery date 12/19/2005!!!

Hi. Lisa: I am a Mary Kay consultant in Austin, Texas, and was suprised to find this board too. I am just a little over a month post op. So stay in touch, and good luck with your w/l and your mk business.
