Denise My 6 yr relationship started with this guy calling me to ask me out and after about 5 months, I finally agreed. I was not attracted to him and there wasn't any chemistry. After about a yr of casual dating, we went out and it was like the stars were shinning down on us. I knew that night that I'd fallen hard for him. We dated on and off for all this time with both of us dating other people. The last yr we have been dating only each other and we have gotten close. Except for his hesitation to commit, things are good. When I met my EX, I was instantly star struck. We went through a whirl-wind romance and married 7 months later. I wonder now if the chemistry kept me from seeing some of the things I should have been paying attention to. I guess what I'm trying to say is that time tells a lot. If the guy is nice, you may want to give him a chance. Unless you have someone else to go out with, are you really wasting your time? Continue looking and checking the personals if you want and good luck in your pursuit. misscarol

Kristen I hope this makes you feel a little better. It's hard to see one's EX doing something for someone that he never did for you. Take heart. Once he gets pass the need to impress her(now I've got you)thing, he will treat her the same as he did you. My Ex did the same. I tried to warn his new soon to be wife, but she wouldn't listen. She said he's changed, as if she had some magic powers and he didn't care as much for me or he would've treated me the same. As time went by, she was treated the same as I was. Remember, just because a leophard is not growling or biting, doesn't mean his spots have changed. You deserve the BEST! misscarol

Hi Lori Welcome aboard! I'm from Dalton...a little ways from you. I was banded on May 9th at Hamilton Medical Center by Dr. Jamiee Ponce. Are you on solids yet? Where are you in your recovery? misscarol

Denise822 I've been in a 6 yr on and off relationship. I love the guy very much, but I realized if I was ever going to get a commintment, it would probably have to be from someone else. The guy I thought was a keeper turned out to be a disappointment. It did ,however, get the guy I had the 6 yr relationship to wake up and take notice. I'll see if I get a commintment before long.misscarol

Hey Roxie About your port, it is closer to the surface as it's easier to access. I don't feel mine like I did. I still have some times when I lie on my right side that itis "there", a little uncomfortable, but not painful. Usually just shifting my body some will make it more comfortable. Also, my doctor told me I would feel a "pulling" sensation for a while due to the fact that he sews the port to a muscle. This pulling gets better over time as the port kind of sets itself as you heal. Hope this helps misscarol53

I live in Dalton. There's a bunch of us here. misscarol53

Denise822 I'm glad you like POF web site. I met two guys there and one I think is a keeper...we'll see. But keep on fishing Denise. Your prize catch is there somewhere. misscarol

Hi eyespy I know probably 15 fellow employees in the hospital where I work that have had the band. All look great and have maintained the ideal weight. Some are 2, 3, and 4 yrs post surgery. I know 3 or 4 people that have had gastric by pass. 2 of them regained their weight and the other one struggles constantly. I read somewhere that 50% of the gastric by pass people will regain the weight. WOW! Even though I haven't read any stats on the lapband, I'd be willing to bet that it's much less. According to my weight management clinic, if one doen't change her lifestyle and develop new habits, she will have difficulty maintaining . Here's to the new us. I don't know abouy anyone else, but I want to keep it off. misscarol

Thanks. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. I've join a few internet dating sites. I'll see what comes from these. misscarol:)
