Heehee....carrie is one of those "crazy cat ladies" At least she'll have the opportunity to use those thick slabs o' flesh she calls her "lips"....

I find that starting off one's day with 'schroom and peyote tea really helps with stress This is slander, woman! SLANDER!! Or is it libel, since you've written it? Hmmmmm, I'm no legal scholar....but I do know that Fred "Rerun" Berry should legally be declared a national treasure for his pop/lock dance moves. Yes. J/K.......I had trouble around 3:00 PM central

Uh, just keep in mind that in the "rants and raves" section, things can get pretty rough....It's not for the faint of heart!!

Ok snorkel.....now that you've said your penance, get back on the horse and try again!! Never say die!

Hi there carotgirl. I'm glad you don't have "new car" smell, since that would make me look bad (I have a "'74 El Dorado" smell......and frankly, it isn't pleasant). The ol' 6 month diet requirement, eh? It sucks, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right (Hey.....you aren't going to mark up my reply with red ink are you)? So, welcome to the site, and feel free to browse around and mingle with everybody....but don't touch anything! We just had it cleaned.

Hi Beth, welcome to lapbandtalk. Since you're doing the dreaded and agonizing "wait for insurance approval", why not take a look around and soak up some of the info on here? Good luck!

Hi Rangergirl (great name.....it could only be better if it were hookemhornsgirl, lol), welcome to lapbandtalk. The waiting is the worst. Hang in there, I have my fingers crossed for you.

Hi laplady, welcome! I know that the wait is difficult, but hang in there.....The 16th will be here before ya know it.

Ok......Do I gotta do all the work here? Here's what ya do: 1) Change status to single 2) Change "about me" box to DAMMIT I NEED A MAN 3) Change "here for" box to Romance, Romance, Romance 4) start up a new group - "SNT needs a dude" wait 24 hrs and voila'.......new BF works for me on a weekly basis. Don't judge me. I'm lonely.

facebook, thilly.

And was that woman named "Beth"? LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Lu, y'all recert twice a year? Damn, y'all do like going out to the range, lol.

LOLOLOLOLOL.....that dude is the hardest working man in pseudo-reality TV. Trying to sleep with the men and the women? He was nothing if not ambitious.

*thread hijack - sorta.... I just read where Phoenix is rated the #2 kidnapping city in the world...only Mexico City is worse. But don't worry, it's mostly illegal-on-illegal crime.

All that stuff would have been in evidence, where it'll be preserved. The technology of DNA recognition is changing so fast that law enforcement tries to preserve EVERYTHING, not knowing what could possibly be used in the future. *total thread hijack, but I saw on TV awhile ago that Dr. Baden (the famous forensic pathologist) was talking about how the police screwed up the Nicole Brown Simpson / Ronald Goldman crime scene. Baden said that if the police had cordoned off / closed the crime scene then they probably would have been able to get more usable DNA, and the trial might have ended quite differently....

Well, I didn't vote for Obama......but now that he's the pres, I'll cut him some slack....I'm not jazzed about what looks to be the nationalizing of some of the bigger banks, but we'll see how it plays out.

Well, respectfully, sabretooth, if we could lose 75 lbs pretty easily, none of us would need the band. The reason that you see a big weight loss pre-surgery is because it's a liquid diet. I suspect for most of us, when we started to eat real food, the weight would come right back, if not for the band.

Hi needchange. My advice would be for you to look at the various weightloss surgeries and pick out the one that best seems to fit your lifestyle. If you've been to a seminar and met with your doctor, then you've got at least an idea of band life. Are you as familiar with the RnY, DS, Sleeve? Don't get me wrong.....I love my band, and it's working great for me.....but I think it's up to every individual to pick the surgery to match them. Hope that helped! Good luck!

Hey Bonnie, glad to have you aboard! If you're 6 days post op, you might still be feeling a bit rough. Hang in there, it gets better quickly.

Hey snereb27, that's great news!! The last month before surgery is the worst, lol. I know you are anxious to "get started". Good luck!
