Cleburne TX here Banded 2/28 Hess

I'm an RN have done lots of ports the Huber needle is much stronger than the normal fine tip I have had to access a port once that way sure could bend or break a needle my thoughts are if you dont do this for a living you are foolish to do on your own even if you do work with ports I would not do my own. now if I had a real good peer I may ask them but the min you mess with your own then you void any resp. of the doc so you may be on you own Hess

I did the same it gets better and stool will become frim. Liq in Liq out

mine just wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing and asking for. she had the band herself hess

bigmills How are you doing? I'm ret BOP out of TX banded on 2/28 Hess

I got HF from adipex in the past. It is speed. loved it. Cant say the sameabout the HF that I now have for the rest of my life. Seems like we change one obsession/addition for another. Dont get me wrong I understand it We really get into losing that when we dont it messes with our heads. I wonder do we go the other way? like eating disorders where you puke. From overeating to not? Hess

Steve I just been banded. Have spent manys year latly depressed and never had a reason to be. I think sometimes we lose who we. Try to find your self again you are there some where. We are all getting older and cant do many of the things we felt were inportant. I ride motorcycles so does all my fam thats who I id with now. You come a long way in a short time. you got folks who care around you. Find the new you. Good luck Hess banded 2/28 down 28 lbs this am
