Topic: Im starting a garden ! You should too !
 So as part of my new healthy lifestyle I decided to start a garden ! Half the problem is I have no idea what I am doing lol ! I dont know when to plant things I dont know what things need trellis and what ones grow on the ground.
 I came across this community garden that this tv show is starting and Im going to give it a whirl! All you do is buy a pack of seeds from william sonoma and sign up for there biweekly email lists. They tell you everything you need to know!  here is the link if you would like to join up !

Thank you for your responses. I am looking into lap band because it seems to have less risk and is reversible. My appointment is just before they close.

Topic: RE: disability
you havent listed what surgery you are haveing,  but your employer need not know about it, except that you are out sick, you may qualify for fmla, which is 60 days of leave, and also state disability if your employer doesnt provide sick time. contack your njemployment office on line for details.  it should also be posted near a time clock or scheadule board if you have one at work.  state mandate, you pay for this with taxes.
 I was in the hospital for a week, and didnt eat or drink for 2 weeks, and wouldnt of gone to work b4 week 4 in any case.

Topic: RE: Cigna insured???... anybody???
Thanks so much!  I'll let her know!

all the weight has been lost post-op..I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

highest weight: 333 pounds (I know I gained after my last "weigh in" in the doctors office so probably it's more like 340 pounds)
current weight: 151 pounds (7/12/11)
I've been at goal (165 pounds) for 6 months now and now on maintence.  I tend to go up and down depending on time of the month and such!
