Jo Ann, I'm Still Waiting For My Surgery Date, But It Will Also Be With Dr Jawad. What Was/is Your Experience With Him? Any Info Would Be Very Helpful. I Am Going With Him Because He Came Recommended By My Mother-in-law. She Is The Cno At Ocala Regional & West Marion. It's Great To See Someone Else Who Has The Same Doc.

I also never thought that anything on my body was the least bit sexy. But, I had to pick myself up. My husband is great in the aspect, he always has a compliment. Now if I could only get this surgery!! BTW-I'm glad you have great nails, mine are terrible!! Def not on the sexy list! I saw the pic..you are very pretty, regardless and your DD is absolutely darling!!

NJ Chick--there has to be something that you like.... hair, eyes, teeth??? What has someone else complimented you on? post a pick and I'm sure we could find more than one thing.

{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} Keep your little one in your heart and know that God takes care of all His children. I lost one also, and she is always in my heart. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Wow! I'm Another Foot Person. I Guess Because They Are The Only Thing That Aren't Really Fat. Haha! I Always Thought They Were Sexy, Or Maybe That Is The Excuse I Have For Buying So Many Shoes. They Did Have One Little Problem After I Had My 2nd Baby. They Were Then In The Bottom 5! Now They Are Smooth And Sexy Again! I Just Put On A Great Pair Of Heels, And Then I'm One Sexy Mama!

My prayers are with you and your mother! Please think positive and remember we're here for you!

Heatherfeather-god Bless Your Husband! I Have A Few Friends And 3 Cousins In The National Guard Stationed In Iraq Right Now. You Must Be A Strong Woman! Take Care And May He Come Home Safe!

Dee-my Husband Lived There Years Ago And He Said The Same Thing. No One Realizes How Poor The Majority Of The City Is. When You Get Past The Casinos, Or French Quarter, It Is Totally Different. It Is A Shame That The Few Who Are Shooting, Etc Are Hindering Some Of The Others From Getting Help. They Won't Let A Lot Of Help In (i.e. Church Groups, Etc.) Because Of This. They Are Waiting For The Police Agencies, Nat Guard, Etc To Get There. The Good People Are Now Stcuk Starving On The Streets With The Gangs. It Is Very Sad.

I, too have been crying over this. But, as I stay home with my kids, thanking God that I have them, my husband is heading up there to help. The Sheriff's office here is sending man-power, food, supplies and clothing on 2 week intervals. So he will be gone for 2 weeks this time, and for as long as the dept can afford to do it. I pray that he will be ok, but I am also so very proud of our men. Our town is very small, but we were helped last year after Charlie caused so much destruction, and we want to return the favor. The government isn't getting off it's a$$ to do anything, so we threw this together, called around to get business donations and I packed up a lot of my kid's clothes to send. In total we have 12 men going, 1000 bags of ice, 500 lbs of food, clothing, hygeine items, etc. Mind you, our Sheriff's Office has under 50 employees in total! We are still recovering from last year, some of these men still do not have their homes rebuilt, but are thankful for what they have and realize that they are better off than the Katrina victims! If we can do this, why can't our government?? The US helps every country in the world, we have so many armed forces that have lost their lives fighting for someone else, yet in our backyard people are starving and floating dead in the streets? This makes no sense! Thanks for listening!

My Heart Goes Out To those Who Have Been Hit By Katrina. I Know What It Is Like, We Went Through Charlie Last Year (we Live 10 Miles Form Punta Gorda). Is there Anyone Here who Knows Of Someone In That Area? Bless Them.

I Don't Believe In Stealing, But When You Are In A Desperate Situation, You Never Know What You Might Have To Do. Not So Much For Myself, But If My Kids Really Needed Something I Would Probably Do It. If It Will Be Destroyed Anyway, Why Not Use It? It's Like A War, You Are Desperate And You Do What You Have To Do To Survive.

We Are Currently Putting Together Relief Efforts Here. My Husband Works At The Sheriff's Office So We Have A Lot Of Contact With The Community. I Feel A Great Need To Do This Especially Since Last Year We Received So Much Help. Anything At That Time Was So Precious, From Small Toys For The Kids To Clean Clothing. If You Are Able, Please Contact A Local Church, Police Dept, Etc So That You Can Donate Clothing, Food, Diapers, Etc. Even A Little Helps So Very Much! God Bless!

Congrats Girl!! I'm Still Waiting, It Seems To Take Forever. I Hope You Heal Fast And Get Well Soon With All Of Your Other Med Problems. Keep Us Updated!

I'm In Sw Florida And We Only Got A Little Rain. Hopefully It Won't Turn And Do Something Crazy Like Charlie Did. I Pray For Those In The Panhandle, They Really Do Not Need Another One.

My Husband Was Working Night Shift And I'm Always Getting Up Checking The Doors, Kids,etc Because I Am A Weenie. Well, My Brother Knows This And He Thought It Would Be Funny To Come By The House At 3am After Work, He Went Around Knocking On The Windows, I Was So Scared, I Called My Husband At Work, And He Said It Was Nothing, Go Back To Bed. I Was P****. I Was In My Boy's Room By Then And I Saw A Shadow Outside And It Ran Up To The Window I Swear I Could Have Peeed. It Reconized His Shirt (he Had A Scarf Over His Face) And Was I Mad! Turns Out My Husband Knew About It!

Momma2mygirls: I Live In Fl Also, Where Charlie Hit Last Year. My Parents Are Still In A Fema Trailer In My Backyard. I Haven't Gotten My Band Yet, But Every Mention Of A Hurricane Makes Me Nervous. Are You On The East Coast? At Least It Won't Be As Strong As Last Year's.

1st I'm A Mommy, 2nd I Am In Accounting At A Large Sod Farm. My Dh Works 12 Hr Night Shifts As A Sgt At The Local Sheriff's Office, So I Balance Ft Job And Ft Mommy! Beleive Me, My Time Is Full!!

I AGREE THAT NONE ARE REALLY LARGE WOMEN, BUT ONE STEP AT A TIME IS BETTER THAN STANDING STILL! A RADIO MORNING SHOW IN MY AREA DID THEIR OWN VERSION, IT WAS GOOD. THEY HAD WOMEN OF ALL SIZES (THOUGH SOME ARE VERY SMALL). THE SITE IS www.mjmorningshow.com

I Know How You Feel. My Sons Are 3 And 7. They Lost Their Dog Last Year And Omg It Was Tough. We Went Out And Adopted Another The Next Week. They Were So Close And Missed The Warm Little Body In Their Beds. So We Went To The Shelter And Gave A Homeless Dog A Loving Home. I Wouldn't Recommend Getting Another Exactly The Same. Try Another Color Maybe Or A Guinea Pig. They Are So Fun And "durable". Ours Is Held And Brushed And Loves To Play Outside His Cage (under Close Supervision). Good Luck!

Yeah, But Since I'm Not In School Anymore, I Don't Get It A Lot. My Ex Sister -in-law Was Kristin Carroll. In Know She Got It Because I'm The One Who Called Her That. It Sure Does Beat Stinky Cheese, Though! Haha

My Maiden Name Is Lindberg...I Was Always Called Limburger Cheese..no I Don't Stink. NoW It's Carroll..not Too Bad

Thanks So Much! The Pre-op Diet Is Hard. I Drink A Shake And I'm Still So Hungry. Oohh Well, I've Been Waiting So Long To Get The Band, I Better Not Srew It Up Now!

Spinach Dip And Smoothies Are My Fave! Can I Modify These For The Liquid Phase? If I Use Fat Free Cheese, Is It Still Good? Do The Smoothies Have To Be Really Thin? Thanks

Hugs!! Keep Us Posted. I Had A Surprise Pregnancy With My 2nd And I Was So Scared! I Too Had A Terrible Time With My Previous. It Turned Out Great, And I Wouldn't Change It For The World. Things Have A Way Of Working Out! Good Luck!

WRITE YOUR OWN LETTER TO THE INSUR COMPANY AND GET YOUR RECORDS FOR ALL THE DOCTORS YOU HAVE BEEN TO IN THE LAST 5 YEARS. IF YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT, THEY ALWAYS NOTE IT IN SOME REGARD. I ALWAYS HEAR, "IF YOU LOSE SOME WEIGHT, YOU WON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM." A FRIEND OF MINE DID THIS WHEN SHE WAS DENIED, AND IT WORKED. I'M STILL WAITING FOR APPROVAL, BUT I WENT AHEAD AND INCLUDED THESE WITH MY INITIAL PACKET TO THE INSUR. BETTER HAVE TOO MUCH THAN NOT ENOUGH!
