mmmm cheesecake!

Just wondering if there is a particular thread out there that covers maintanence after surgery. Not particularly diet, but maybe regular tests you should get done to make sure your band is fine. Is an endoscope the only thing you should have done on a regular basis?

Try Dr. Cribbins. Not sure what he charges. Have also heard great things about Dr. Barker.

I am using Dr. Cribbins in Dallas.

My nutritionist said that VitaMist would be a great vitamin since it is a spray. VitaMist Spray Vitamins

I have my moments.

I say wait the two days. It's well worth it. Your doctor wouldn't tell you to do it if it isn't needed. Almost there! Stay strong!

I agree with you Donna. We are all adults here and have a diverse amount of cultures and religions on this site, which makes this site to me all the more interesting. Just because one doesn't use "coloful" language doesn't mean it isn't common place for another. I like this site all the more for it's overabundance of acceptance.

What's black adn white and red all over? A newspaper. YUk YUK YUK :heh:

If you would quit jumping on people and read, she never said LAP BAND in front of the word suppoert and the disclaimer of the lounge reads: Lap-Band Talk Lounge Forum for general conversation, share interests, have a laugh or discuss anything not specifically related to banding or the Lap-Band. Which meeting people and having pleasant conversation is support to me because a nice conversation could ease the stress of a bad day. Back off people Tits.

Are you getting Wasa confused with yourself? http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f80/skany-evil-repulsive-patient-coordinators-45630/

Oh the pleasure is all mine WAsa. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f80/skany-evil-repulsive-patient-coordinators-45630/

Nope. Just kind hearterd. That's why we keep you around green.

Yikes. Kinda pricey to me just to sample them. Have you tried any of them and which do you recommend?

Just ordered a sample of each for myself. Will follow-up with what I think once I get them. Anyone else have others to add that you can order a sample of?

I asked for one for Christmas. Fingers crossed my mom got it! Target had it on sale black Friday for 40.00.

As an afterthought, what do you typically find are the costs for these procedures?

We have what we call an ornament exchange at our "get together" for my dad's side of the family. Everyone brings an ornament and pulls a number. The person with number one begins by picking an ornament out of the pile and unwrapping it. The next in line can choose to "steal" the ornament or pick one from the pile to unwrap. If stolen, number one unwraps another...and this continues. An ornament can be "stolen" three times and is then considered "frozen" and inelligible to be taken. It's absolutely hilarious. The first year everyone showed up with tiny ornaments but it's so hilarious seeing grown adults "fight" over ornaments and entice their children to "steal" someones for their gain that the "ornaments" have become larger. Anything is game now. Large light up deer for the front yard, extravagent ornaments. IT IS A BALL!

Daycares are administering the same policies and I pay those fools! A little boy decided it would be just delightful to punch my daughter in the stomach one day, so my daughter being taught by her mom to always stand up for herself, kicked it where it hurts! That's right men! A low blow but well deserved! SHE got in trouble as well as the boy who punched her. Needless to say I royally showed my ass on this one! If I pay you to keep my child, you play by MY rules!:eek:

:eek: he he he he he he he

:focus: I find the whole gift giving scenario HIGHLY STRESSFUL and could deal if there were no gift giving at all. (My DH and I actually don't do gift exchange) LIke I said, don't need a holiday to spend time with my family , we do it year round, but there is just something about a nice fire and the decorated tree, egg nog and all that puts you in a comfy, cozy mood.

Oh, I don't know. Retalitation? :croc: What's that saying about a bear and a stick? :eek:

:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

Um, do we have an emoticon that does the cabbage patch? Feels like that kind of moment.

Funny how this here forum works not ain't it ya'll! :tired
