You dont actually have to download any kind of imaging Software. You can use http://www.picresize.com/ Its Free, its Simple, and its Fast. All you have to do is goto that site and put in your pictures (By Browsing and uploading) then it will allow you to resize your pictures, and even add some effects to them aswell. Then all you do is Save your Picture from there, because PicResize doesnt host images. Then you just take the resized picture from that, and upload it to your photobucket, and BLAM, you're done. If anyone else has any questions or comments, i'll be more then happy to answer them.

My fiance is on the board and she's 20. Its not all that uncommon for younger people to have this procedure done.

And you have to make sure if you're using it as an avatar, that its inside the Sites Size Requirement.

Well some things that im going to be doing with my fiance when she gets the band, is im going to be right there beside her. all the dieting, all the exercise, everything. Though im not getting the band, i do believe that i should be supportive in that kind of way. I dont want to be eating junky food while she eats fruits and lo-carb items. And i dont want to sit around the house while she's out taking walks and going to the Gym.. No siree. I believe that this can be a really big bonding experience for us. something for use to grow together with. Kind of like those commercials where you see the old couple running together and laughing, kind of like that i guess.

Well i was searching for some informational videos about lap bands, and i found a video of the actual procedure. Now it doesnt show the full urgery, but it shows quite a bit. Please note that this is a video of actual Surgery [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66l7XwOfY6E]YouTube - LAP BANDING PROCEDURE[/ame]

great job man, looks like you're doing great. Hey, that drummer in your pic looks familiar. His name wouldnt happen to be Zac would it? weird.. Keep up the great work!

Well i was doing some research on my own, and i found a site that i didnt see on here that had some pretty good descriptions and diagrams. Before this site i was pretty confused on how everything worked, but this site has been pretty informative: http://www.belighter.com/lapband.html

Wow, some of you are really close, im living at 26 and Gratiot.. Weird..

Well my fiance is getting banded, and i wanted to join this board to start reading up on this stuff, just so if she needs to talk to someone about it, i'll be able to lend a knowlegable ear on the subject, and be able to understand what she might be going through. I might be poking around here and there and asking some questions, maybe i'll even start to be able to help other people on the board with the information i've collected. I just want her to know that im 100% behind her on this, and i want to be with her every step of the way.

You know whats really weird.. None of the commercials i've seen or any of the people that talk about losing people in Iraq always Say Sons, Daughters, Mothers, Fathers.. Never once have i heard Brothers and Sisters.. I have a Brother and a Brother in-law that are both in the Army.. My brother is about to do his second tour, and my brother in-law just got back from his first. Whenever i see those commercials im like "Hello? Aren't you forgetting some people?" I dunno, just something i see all the time. I have a real distaste for Bush.. Its partly why i chose Kerry.

Well if its a tablet, you can take a small shot glass and crush it up in the shot glass and add abit of warm Water. It should desolve the pill enough for you to be able to get it down. I'm not to sure about capsuls though.
