So for the people who think he was guilty of molestation, what do you think about one of the boys now saying that it didn't happen? Just wondering.

I didn't take what you said about her as bad. I actually don't think I remember it, lol! But now that you brought it up, maybe they don't tell people about their medical conditions because they want to keep it private. Maybe they don't think there's anything wrong about it, they just want some privacy. I can understand that. I haven't told a lot of people that I have a band.

MJ's music was a little before my time, but I can understand how his fans feel. I am a huge Britney Spears fan and I hate it when people talk bad about her. Everyone makes mistakes.

I don't know either about the cup. It depends on the type of food too. If I eat mashed potaotes, I'm obviously going to be able to eat more than a cup. So I don't know. I have this glass measuring cup and I just try to imagine how much food would fit in it when they ask me that! LOL!

I am feeling much better thanks. I will probably be having some tests next week. I know I have to have a colonoscopy. Then if that's normal, they want to do the exploratory surgery. But I probably won't know anything else until next week. I had to find a new doctor. Long story, but the gynecologist I had was a real bitch. My primary care doctor has taken over. I had braces taken off in December. I only had them on the top to close a huge gap. I have been having to wear a retainer all the time because when I leave it out for a few hours, my teeth start to separate and the gap tries to come back. So now I will have to have a wire put on the back of my 2 front teeth to keep them closed. I really need a new body!!

I didn't know you were getting braces.

I'm sure everything will go fine this time. My sister has had 3 miscarriages, the last one was at 5 months. She is pregnant again. She is due in February. I hope everything goes well this time. It would be nice to have another niece or nephew!

Thanks. I hope so to. I can't keep missing so much work and I'm supposed to start nursing school soon.

That's great! Good luck!

I had lap band surgery in May 2008. They don't think it is anything band related.

The doctor is going to schedule a colonoscopy to make sure it's not bowel related. If that is normal he is going to do the exploratory surgery to look and see what might be going on. They had thought I might have fibroids or endometriosis. The ultrasound didn't show any fibroids, so it could be endometriosis. He also said something about adhesions sticking together or something from surgeries I have had.

Yea, my 31 year old boobies look like that! Bags of sag!! Rodriguezequal, did I miss something? Are you pregnant again?

I just got out of the hospital. The doctor thinks I had some type of lower abdominal infection (non band related). They gave me 7 or 8 different IV antibiotics. I feel a little better, but not much. I have to go for some more tests soon.

I have called the emergency number before.

Since the Lunesta is so expensive, I have been taking a generic sleeping pill from walmart. It has the same thing as Benadryl in it. It says to take 2 of them, but I have just been taking one. It has been working really well and I am not sleepy during the day like I would be if I took 2 of them. And it's cheap too.

Thanks. The pain is making my band much tighter for some reason.

Oh no! I hope you are ok now. That's part of the problem of being too tight. It can cause a slip. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

The doctor thinks I have endometriosis or uterine fibroids. So either way, surgery is probably in the near future. I go for some tests Monday.

Sure! LOL! Well, I hope I will still be able to go. I am having some health problems and my have to have surgery, so I will have to wait and see.

I haven't actually vomited. I have just PBed everything that I have tried to eat the past few days. I have had a lot of diarreha.

Hey! I'm going to Daytona Beach the first week of August! Small world!

Kristine, it's not just the military doctors that think that. It's most other doctors too. I have never wanted kids and I would have had my tubes tied a long time ago, but they told me I would have to wait until I was at least 35. Yet if a young man wants a vasectomy, he can just walk right into the office and have one. It's not fair! Anyway, thanks for all the support. I will have to wait and see what the ultrasound shows, or doesn't show, before I know anything else.

I'm sick as well. I think there is a stomach virus going around. I haven't been able to keep much down. Hopefully it will pass for both of us soon.

I have also missed a lot of work due to pain. I feel pain all over, though. I even run a fever. Thankfully I have understanding bosses. I have been to several doctors and none of them would listen to me. I finally found a PA who is listening and is going to help me figure out what is going on. I went to a gyno a few months after my lap band surgery because I was having bleeding and pain. She actually told me that it is my lap band causing it and that my birth control pill wasn't being absorbed because of the band!! Needless to say I ran out of there and didn't go back!

My hair started falling out about 3 months after surgery. I have had my band over a year now and my hair is still falling out. It will get better for awhile and then start falling out again. I am afraid it is just all going to come out one day.
