    LOL! Yes, it is. My personal favorite "other name" for the penis is: Blue veined stomach rummager Not that I call one that, but I think it's a hilarious other name.

    Um, lwood, the post I made, that was above the post you made has LINKS to two threads here that tell you how to add the ticker. I'm guessing after posting you then figured this out as I see you have a ticker (very nice!).

    Again, I LOVE YOU, WHEETSIN!!!!! I don't mind people making big sigs, I think some of them are really cool, and I really like the ones that have pics that show family or their progress. But I like seeing them once on a page, not five times. That having been said, I get tired of scrolling and scrolling and scrolling down to get to the next post. I mean, once or twice in a thread to allow a large sig is fine, but if you are replying multiple times to the same page, then uncheck the box for "Show your signature" please. When I had a larger sig than I do now, I would try to always remember to uncheck that box if I was posting more than once per page.

    Nope, not to me. I have always chosen to teach the proper terms for things from the beginning. My mom did the same thing with me.

    I need help!!! input please

    It is possible that your stomach was on the edge of needing a large band, but your doc placed a 9.75cm 4cc band because it is easier to get restriction with a smaller band that with a looser/larger band. If you are having difficulty with ANY fill, you might want to talk with your surgeon about the size band you have and if it seemed like it was kind of snug going on.

    midband vs. lapband

    If you are in the US, the MidBand is not an approved band here, thus it is not available.
  10. faithmd

    AP Lap Band available in Georgia

    First things first, you need to call your insurance company and find out who they will pay for you to be banded by. Then call those surgeons and ask about the AP band. There is no reason why any US surgeon wouldn't be using it, it's been out since mid-June. I'd push for a reason why they aren't using it.

    I am new - what is PB'ing?

    Yup, that Frequently Asked Questions forum is pretty important and has LOADS of good info in it, such as abbreviations.

    Reflux - advice needed

    Not laying down for at least 30 mins and preferably an hour after eating does help some folks. Not all, though. I'm guessing he gave you Carafatem it's a good medicine. I'm not so sure you aren't tight, though. You mention eating 1/4 cup of food or a few bites and not being able to eat more, that's not enough for good nutrition so it leads me to wonder if you are a little too tight.

    Me too! It's a Vagina! And men have a Penis! Not a dinger or a weewee or a peepee or a thingy. And I have a BM or take a dump or go number 2, I don't go poopoo. I pee or urinate or whiz or go to the restroom, I don't tinkle or go potty. Makes me nutty!

    How do you decline a job offer?

    1234 Main Street Anytown, MI 48109 (734) 555-9009 email: myname@mi.edu November 15, 2007 Dr. Jane Doe Flibberdigibbit International 456 Elm Street, NW Niceville, MI 48135 Dear Dr. Doe: Thank you very much for your telephone call offering me the position of Director of Product Development with Flibberdigibbit International. While I believe firmly in the mission of your organization/am interested in the products you manufacture and appreciate the challenging opportunity you offer, I have decided after much consideration and reflection that this is just not the right time in my life to make a change in my career. Therefore, although it was a difficult decision, as I explained when we spoke by phone this morning, I must decline your offer. I do appreciate all the courtesy and hospitality extended to me by your office, and I wish you well in your endeavors. Best regards, (your signature) Wheetsin

    It's up to Santa's discretion... Ho Ho Ho!!

    It's only offensive because we've allowed it to become so. Santa said Ho Ho Ho eons before the term "ho" was twisted by our society to mean something bad. It's like those awful people who move into a new housing development next to an existing motorcycle club or a game preserve or large farm and then want to shut it down. News flash: YOU are the intruder, it was there along time before you were. Ho Ho Ho was a jolly phrase from a happy character long before it was a slang term for someone whose morals are a little questionable.

    I was *just* going to come post this thread, too. I read the story a few minutes ago. This is ridiculous! I can't wait to have some of our friends in Australia chime in. How about Santa say yo yo yo? That way he could be "hip." Sheesh! (that was of course a sarcastic comment)

    Brill, absolutely brill!!! I don't like shoes, shoes are scary...They bite my feet. Like my band bites my stomach My band is scary I think I want it removed A friend of a friend's cousin's sister-in-law's stepdaughter's Godson's wife's best friend's car dealer's mechanic's girlfriend had hers taken out vaginally. Maybe I can, too.

    Steady losers ;-)

    Have a great time on your trip!!! I'd suggest you take your birth certificate to get back and forth across the border to Mexico along with your driver's license Travel by land or sea Those traveling by land or sea must present two forms of valid identification such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate and a driver's license or other identification issued by a state or official agency.

    Okay, I couldn't take it ANYMORE, so here's the question that was asked: Unfill or ride it out? Hey there guys, just had another fill today and he decided to be a little agressive as I still havent lost any weight after 9 months. Put another 1ml in making total of 6.5ml, got home and cant even drink water. Tried to drink warm tea and had really bad pains like something was stuck then it came back up again. He said to come back if I needed adjustment (he is only in town today and tomorrow) but I know from experience that my last fill (which was not this tight) wore off after a couple of weeks. Do you think I should go back or will it settle down as the hours go on? Thanks -------------- Here's my response. Was I too rude? Who cares if I was, I just couldn't take it! Hmmmm, you got a 1ml fill (he was being "a little aggressive") it's never felt this tight before, it took a while for it to loosen up the last time when it felt a bit tight, you can't drink water, you can't even keep down warm tea, and you are asking if you need an unfill??????? Yep, I think so.
