Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 , YIKES... I hope I still get the MGB! I am really worried now.. I did my happy dance fully clothed, with no syrup whatsoever! Don't worry, I am going to Sam's Club now to buy the industrial sized vats of syrup to make sure I have enough to cover my body. Then I will send the kids to the neighbor's house (so I won't traumatize them), and dance away!! (Hmmm.. I think I might have played this game once as a newlywed...lol) Deb in IL Getting ready to do the happy dance the RIGHT way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so > glad!!! You have to do the happy dance when you get the surgery date, it's required as part of the initiation to the MGB. Here's how you do it: First, get naked. Then cover yourself in honey, chocolate syrup, and maple syrup (only real maple syrup, not the imitation kind). Gosh, now I forgot the rest. Trish will know. > Sara > BMI 43 (but not for long!)

LOL Besides my husband's not home right now, and the whole thing would be wasted on the kids!!! I have already done the " crying happy tears dance " though!!!!
