I am so sorry you have to go through this. Obviously his family does not come first. You and your family are the most important in this world. If you do not have trust you have nothing. A lot of things are going through your mind right now. Please come and talk we will listen. Take care of yourself!

Oops!! That's September 22 NOT June 22 for The Jane Pauly Show

I thought work was kicking me off...I run 3 computers and while taking data on antennas, I read and surf. This sight has been my support for over a year. I couldn't imagine life without it.

Lisa, I enjoy this Thread. I have a soon to be 7 year old, Roxanne. She loves unicorns, butterfly and Angels which are abuntant in her room. You've inspired me to paint, the rainbow is beautiful, I hope you don't mind if I steal your Idea. I also have a 3 year old boy Hunter. He's so full of energy. It's hard just keeping his room picked and clean. Thanks for shareing.

Wow Donali I've been watching your progress for the last week checking pics. Must say you've done some excellent work. Can't wait to see it all trimmed out. You should be so proud of yourself. Here's the carpenters joke Little Johnny was always getting in trouble, One day his mom said "I want you to go across the street and watch the carpenters, maybe you'll learn something" So Johnny went then came home, his mom asked "what did you learn?" "That the god damn door dosen't fit so you take the mother f**er down, shave it a cunts hair and put the c* s* back up" "Johnny go to your room and wait till your father comes home!" Dad comes home and asked Johnny "I heard you learned something today" "Yes, that the god damn door dosen't fit so you take the mother f**er down, shave it a cunts hair and put the c* s* back up" "Johnny you go get a switch" dad says. "Hell no thats an electricians job"

Lookin Good!! Your doing a great job.

No matter what, Do not lift anything heavy! Pack light, Flip Flops or slip-ons, big T-shirt, stretch pants...I ran around in my pajamas. I lived on Gatorade. Good luck, God Bless! I'll be thinking about you on Tuesday.:mad:

Went for a Fill today with lovely Dr. McKeen. First of all it's been since January 04 since I've had a fill and at that experience he wasn't able to remove any saline from the previous fill done in Nov. 03. So we decided to try it standing up, not a problem accessing my port, it's fairly surfaced under the skin. He ties to remove some saline, No Go. Nothing comes out. Pulls the needle out and tries again noda, nothing, zip. So I lye down, he accesses the port nothing will come out. OK put some in and try to get it out, like I give the orders. Nothing and we try again each time removing the needle even using new needles. He gives me 1 more cc and tries to get that out and that's when we decide to stop. I have the (large) AMI Swedish band and if all the saline is still in there, this would put me to 7.5cc...I don't think so??? Discussions lead to possible slow leak or kink tube. I decide to wait a couple of weeks then I'm scheduling a Fluoroscopy leak check probably in for Late October. With that, I want a look at my band anyway. I do the water drinking test, I get allot of gurgling but all gos down. Lunch comes and I'm hungry, all I've had was coffee and water today. I make a small shredded salad...Big mistake I should of had soup...I KNOW BETTER. Yes it came up. Go figure I'll keep you updated

Please.....Don't do that again!!! Take it easy. Soft white breads/buns, pasta and rice can be your worst enemy. Michelle has good advice.

Thanks Lady's!! I'm not too worried I've lost 65 lbs. and have about 30 lbs. to go. Even if I only got down to 160 lbs. I'd be very happy with my decision to be banded. The last 3 months I have not gain nor lost but have pushed the envelope of eating. Like eating pizza with crust and I've even had a few burgers. These types of foods I didn't have up until last July, and I still can't eat as much as could pre-band. So watching what I eat and exercise could be the trick. Tricia, Its nice to know others who have our band type, keep in touch.

Congratulations I flew to Monterrey MX and had my lapband placed by Dr. Sanchez! He is a wonderful, caring doctor and I recommend him highly.

WoW Big difference!!! Looking Good.....Did you get the new jacket for your Birthday yet, or is it the Tattoo that your getting for your Birthday? I've been missing in action

Betty So sorry to hear of this, My thoughts are with you. Last year I had some nipple pain and demanded a mamogram immediately! After the tests the doctor explained that some cancers have no pain involved. It's pretty scary. Everything was fine I'm sure Penni knows more....

Too Cool Alexandra I just want add one more thing...Why is it Lrg shirts have these sleeves that go on forever?!! Do the manufactures think we have extra long arms too*^%$

Ya know...How much money on average is spent on after-care for a typical bandster??? So far I've spent $527.00 total for 3 fills, 1 under Flouro and a 4th fill scheduled next week, add 200. $727.00. I will say so far I'm lucky.. Just wondering what others have paid for a fill/fills, lets say for a year estimating? Is $3,500 for 3 years worth it. FYI Also Dr. McKeen will take MX or other Dr.s' patients for after care/fills. He's in San Jose. CA

That's it. I'm going with you next year.....

You look years younger

Totally cool, or should I say "HOT"

Well I'm about 180 lbs. 5ft 5in. I've done alot of bike riding and believe it's trimed my legs down. Last week while shopping I noted the diferent cuts of jeans. Lees relax fit I can wear a 12 but the legs were baggy so I tried Lees slim fit and could bearly get into a 14...I still wear a XL top, I don't like the rolls on my side showing either.

Congratulation:banana :banana :banana Onederland
