Sure, so you'd have more to respond to. You know, like you did. I'm not getting in the middle of that mess. I'm just clearing up some educational errors and more errors that are bound to come up. But since you appear offended by this thread I'm sure you won't be reading this. Right? ;o)

Wow... I just have to tell you something. But first I have to say that I don't really know where to post this. I don't know if I should be posting this or if I should write an email to someone. I have to tell you what a great forum this is. This forum is soooooo much better than the other large forum out there I just don't have words to express my thoughts. I can come here, admit I had surgery in Mexico and I am not slam dunked by the nasty people of the world. I am not told how stupid I am, I am an idiot, I should know better, blah blah blah. I happen to like my surgeon and I would have surgery again in Mexico ANY 'ol day! I don't have other members here chasing me down trying to sell me stupid CDs on visualizing my weight loss becoming a reality (my band does that for me just fine). I don't have people telling me I'm a total loser because I am not a Christian. I don't have annoying people following me from thread to thread to tell me about all the other people they don't like. Holy crap! NORMAL people post on this site! I am so thrilled, you just have no idea. I no longer feel like I am a first grader again with the people around me. Folks here are adults and they behave as such! This was really confirmed for me when I saw that two people who made me want to scream in frustration from the "other" board... well, they have had their accounts suspended here. YeeHAWWWWW! Things are done well here. I have little experience seeing Mods post here but from what little I have seen LBT doesn't use bigots for mods but they use real people instead. Nobody is trying to sell me anything, I absolutely love it here. The posters here are fun, they are warm, they are friendly, they want to have a good time, they are real, they have a great sense of humor, the topics are great, the mods are normal, the threads are allowed to live a life of their own, ... I'm just sincerely very impressed. I promise you, my intent here is not to diss the other forum, it really isn't. But I can't help but to make comparisons between the two. It's just very nice here and someone deserves to know that. You guys do a great job, tell me where to send this via email and I will. I was so annoyed and frustrated I closed out my account at the other place. Now I am regretting that, I wish I would have told the normals to come over HERE and THEN closed out my account. Seriously, I've been a mod before and it is no easy task. I like that the mods join in on the discussions, they participate, they are friendly. It's not easy trying to please everyone but you guys seem to do a great job. Cheers.

Nonono... not Huacuz. Not Huacuz.

Why would a partial slip not show up on a standard barium swallow? Sorry, I still don't get what it is.

Here is a site where you enter a list of ingredients of your recipe, a single food item, or a restaurant item and it will tell you anything you ever wanted to know about your recipe. You know those food labels on the back of products you buy in the grocery store? It creates a food label for your individual recipe and then a whole LOT more. I absolutely love this site, I have learned so much. http://www.nutritiondata.com

There is another one tomorrow too! We'll have to combine our groups next time. Ours is small and cozy but everyone is welcome. Saturday 3/3/07 12 NOON Sweet Tomatoes Restaurant Off of I17 near Metro Center Look for the woman wearing a Diamondbacks Jersey (that would be ME) just inside the front door.

Amaretto goes down quite well all alone. Or, if you want it to taste like a Tootsi Roll add just a splash of OJ. Mmmmmmm

I don't think I do but my doc suspects it. I don't have a fill. Had a fill twice and had an unfill immediately each time. But symptoms are the same as before the first fill. What is a partial slip vs. a full slip?

$7800 for surgeon, anesthesiologist, internal medicine guy, labs, CXR, EKG, two nights in the hospital and fills for life. However, the hospital charges $70 for fluoro equipment (fills) and radiologist. Mexico rocks! If I had it to do over again I'd go to the same surgeon, same everything.

Wow... >>Dr. Lopez, 1/23/03 303/203.5 5'6", 44 y.o. Four Fills, last restriction 2.6 (10/03-7/04) Diagnosed with erosion 6/19/04 Band removed 7/2/04<< I can't believe how many patients I see of Dr. Lopez that have had their bands removed. Spooky.

LOL... But he thinks he fakes it soooo well! How could anyone possibly know he's a child pretending to be an adult?

I'm so glad you wrote this, I was thinking the same thing. In one post he writes that he is a lawyer and then a few posts later he writes that he is the Adm. of a medical office. Perhaps he needs to figure out just what he does for a living. At 21 I seriously doubt he is either.
