I'm lost with both of these comments. Uh.. what? LOL

If I buy a pair of those jeans could I get a pair of legs that go to my ears too like that models? lol

Nice! I had never heard of those before but the pic looks nice. Unfortunately here if you can get a pair of decent jeans for under $50 it's a steal :wink_smile:

Just thought I would through out there that - not all Banders are required to have a psych evaluation. I believe it depends on if you are using insurance to pay for it (I think that requires it) and other than that it's surgeons discretion. I was a self pay and not required to have a psych eval.

Woo hooo congrats.

Juli, Oh gosh no, no offense taken! :wink_smile: And I do realize that they aren't issues that have popped up overnight. It is crazy to think how scary the world is becoming though and I can't even imagine what it will be like when I'm staring down the face of my own kids in the future having all those same worries that all you moms have. And wishing you an early Happy Birthday!

Ahh okay gotcha. I think some of the "A ha's" are just that "A ha's" but some were "last straws". It makes sense that they are actually two different things. I didn't really have an "a ha" or a "last straw" I don't think. Hopefully some others can pipe in with some of their last straws Best of luck in your journey!

Hey there... There was a thread under General Discussion but it must have gotten bumped down a page or so that people were posting similar to "last straws" called "A Ha Moments"... http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/your-ah-ha-moment-56388/

Hahaha, someone pointed out my signature said I had my surgery done by Dr Woodhead in Delta Birth Control and I was like wtf... but I like your thinking. I tell ya, some people really shouldn't be allowed to have children (I think everyone knows a few of those), wouldn't it be nice to be able to do that. lol

Hello! Not sure if some kind of setting was changed but apparently my signature went a bit weird (pointed out by another LBT member). It used to say "Dr. Woodhead, Delta BC" as in British Columbia and I guess for some reason the forums were assuming that stood for "birth control" and spelt it out long form instead so that it said "Dr. Woodhead, Delta Birth Control" yet when I looked at my signature in "Edit signature" it said "Delta BC" I'm almost positive it used to just say "Delta BC" when viewing posts so this has to be a relatively new thing... kind of a strange "autochange" in my opinion. Thanks!

I'm right there with Laura, I remember some of that stuff too and taped songs off the radio onto cassette tapes. Now Over 30 Crowd - let's look at the other side of that coin for a second shall we? When you were a kid/younger did you or your parents have to worry about: -You walking by yourself to school and not having some pervert or pedofile, etc abduct/assault you? -Going out to a club (or whatever you want to call it) and someone spiking your drink when you weren't looking with the date rape drug? -How you are going to get a good job without investing years and tonnes of money into an education because the market is so competitive these days if you don't have a great post secondary education you're screwed. -Comfortably and safely going anywhere by yourself after dark. -Not having to lock your doors and windows. -School shootings or violence in schools (to the degree it is now). -Metal detectors in big city schools -DANGEROUS drugs being introduced to kids/teens at a young age (not talking pot here folks). And those are just the tip of the iceberg that popped into my head. Now I know the post was meant to be "a funny" but I just thought I would turn it around and add a bit of other perspective... while you may not have had computers, videogames, caller id, cell phones or caller ID ...

I don't think that you will mess up the band. I think that if you take too big a bite or don't chew it well enough you will be taught the lesson the hard way with a not so fun PB. And I bet you will be more careful after that! I haven't gotten any good restriction yet so I take big bites and don't chew well but I know when I get my next fill I will have to be more careful or I will be sorry.

Ahhh gotcha. Hmm. Yah until I lose weight I won't be wearing anything like that LOL

Hmm I tried to post this question once before but it went page couldn't display for some reason.... So pardon my fashion-ignorance but what's a "tunic"?

Eek, I too had no idea that there was such a thing until reading this thread. I never go to "my account" and I also had one from almost two weeks ago that I never responded too and now feel bad (thankfully she found my email address through my blog and contacted me that way as well). I agree if it's possible about putting a link up under "Private Messages" on the right hand side so that new comers messages don't go unseen.

Hah GraceUtah, I wouldn't worry about it - I think just in the context that "geniuses" was used skewed it a bit as I perceived it the same way everyone else did. Just give Alex a big'ol hug We love ya Alex!

Thanks for changing BC. As always you're fantastic Alex.

Just pick yourself up and start over again, follow your surgeon's directions. You too can do this! :puke: Oh and I thought you meant Beans into yogurt too and was like... eww haha

I felt the exact same way about soda (or as we call it here in the west coast of Canada - pop) I seriously didn't know how I would manage without it. Every now and then (2 months post op) I have a hankering for it but in general, the feeling goes away. Just gotta think of the greater good - would you rather have beer or be healthier and thinner? YOU CAN DO THIS!!! :thumbup: *HUG*

I had surgery on a Wednesday and my surgeon said the first day it would be okay to shower was Saturday and those steristrips I tell ya they are on there pretty good I wouldn't worry about them peeling up in a shower.

I guess I could have read this thread before posting my signature issue one but British Columbia (short form B...C... - no ....) being turned into "birth control" is a bit... well.. dumb haha

I swear it didn't used to do that or I would have noticed that my signature said "birth control" or someone else would have noticed it and pointed it out sooner like they did lol... me no likey. lol

Okay now it's doing it in my post... I didn't edit it so that you can see... When I typed that in the message screen it said Delta "B.C." (no periods).

Haha that made me laugh. (And I'll have to remember that one :thumbup: )
