http://www.supplementwatch.com/suplib/supplement.asp?DocId=1045 Here is a bunch of info including dosing and benefits

I know that most doctors can give you the name of a good medical lender. Inamed also has some information available. www.lap-band.com ~Mandy

If you are looking for dressy or work clothes, check out torrid. They have nice clothing but can bit a bit pricey, the clearance stuff is great. They are owned by Hot Topic and have a good range of stuff. ~Mandy

Hijack here: Diane you look great, love the new avatar.....you look like a teen....Mandy HiJack over, please resume normal thread activity...

The father of the baby has been kept secret. There is a rumor that he is paparazzi (sp?) they are no longer together and she said publically that she wanted to put him and the time they spent together behind her. How sad that her son passed away during such a joyous time for her. That little girls birthday will always be a sad time for Anna. I also read that she had asked for citizenship, anyone else hear that? ~Mandy

Ask the seller on Ebay if they can make something custom???? I know that most will if they can....~Mandy

According to my band doctor the band would be fine. He says the worst possible is broken ribs with the heimlich. ~Mandy

That's not the most current list, it's the one I got over a year ago, more like 18 or so months ago. I thought it might make a good starting point. I know that my group takes a bunch of different plans. Maybe give them a call? There has to be someone that takes medicaid. Is there a medicaid website that you can look up surgeons? Best of luck, Mandy

Wheets, are you old enough to be online without a parent near by? I think that you are losing weight and years at the same time. Girl you look fab....~Mandy

Where is Effingham? I am in Romeoville, west of Chicago. There is a list of surgeons available from www.lap-band.com it is free to register and they will email you a list of surgeons with-in a 50 mile radius. I use Dr. Lahmann and Dr. Joyce at Silver Cross hospital in Joliet. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. ~Mandy

I send all of my junk back to the company that sent it to me if they provide a postage paid return envelope. When I mail in my utility bills I include all the advertisement crap that comes with them, same with credit card bills. I save all of my statements for 2 years and then shred them after they are 24 months old. I also shred utility bills, and pre-approved credit card offers when they come in. ~Mandy

I only have a second....no news on the puppy, the animal control says he is probably long gone by now. No one has seen him since Sat, I looked again this morning with no luck. I did finally get my hair cut. I will post pics tomorrow, it is really short, but I like it. Kat, sory about the silver money sucking site. I love it too, I used it for chistmas gifts last year for the librarian, dd teachers aid, and our mail lady. Also my hair dresser got a lovely charm. I know they also make good pick me up gifts, I have several that I bought and put away for just that reason. I gave one to a neighborhood after a long weekend of overtime and she was thrilled. It brightened her day. just an idea for an excuse to buy more stuff I guess. ~Mandy

I simply have ribeye or filet and I can eat steak (no more than medium) I can drink water fast, but I will then burp very loudly... ~Mandy

Don't let the hairloss get you down, it will grow back. Mine came back healthier and much nicer than pre-band. I have more hair now then I ever have. ~Mandy

I lost about 25% or so of my hair but it has since grown back. I am almost 14 months out from surgery. I have short hair so it's not really a big deal to me. ~Mandy

Sunsett, you look fantastic...I really hope YOU see the huge difference that is there. I know that I struggle with seeing how much I have lost. I know the scale is moving and my clothing size has changed but I just don't see myself any smaller. ~Mandy

Who me??? At least I would give you a bp vest. ~Mandy

Anne, how old are the kids? The little one looks too small for Kindergarden. ~Mandy

PB means productive burp, it is when food gets stuck going down. It either has to come up and slowly make it's way down. Some people experience a golf ball suck in the chest feeling at the same time. ~Mandy

I know there are several people that use the meat tenderizer mixed with warm water. I'm not sure what the lemon is for, maybe to make it taste better? I know that those that use it swear it works, I have never had anything stuck that I couldn't get back up the um....old fashioned way, but I have this in the back of my mind just in case. ~Mandy

a small wendy's chili

What is the dollar amount on this one? I am going to Disney and would like to possibly pick something up there and get involved. ~Mandy

You will feel sooooooo much better with that nasty gall bladder gone. I know I was like a new woman after mine came out. I was back to my usual self in just a few days. Recover quickly, let us know how you ae doing. ~Mandy

I'm in Chicago, not exactly IN but close. I am willing to drive if you want to start am monthly meet-up. ~Mandy
