I don't know why Dr. Ponce would have to do yours. Maybe it's because of your insurance?

I told you why I won't report my uncle, because of my father. And yes, he has always had heart problems. There are no children around my uncle now, so no one is at risk of being molested. As for my half brothers and sisters stepfather, everyone in the family knows he is a child molester. It is no secret. So me telling anyone would do no good because I wouldn't be telling them anything they don't already know. It is really none of your business. All you are trying to do is take the heat off of yourself for not reporting your nephew. You are just trying to put it on me to take it off yourself because you feel guilty. Everyone can see that.

DID YOU NOT READ ANYTHING I WROTE?? The police have been notified!! And the same man didn't molest me! Do you pay attention to anything else besides what's in your own head? :eek:

excuse us gentlemen, a poll from the ladies
Carrie_C replied to want_so_bad's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You don't want to know! -
Did you not read what I wrote? My half brothers and sisters who were molested themselves ARE the ones with the children that need to be protected. They KNOW their step father is a child molester, yet they still let their children around him. The police know he is a child molester and did nothing to him when he was reported before. So who exactly am I supposed to notify?

Should people barely over 200 lbs or below 200 get Lapband or any WLS...?
Carrie_C replied to Froggi's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Well, I am close to 200 pounds right now, and I do not want to stay here. If someone else thinks this is a good weight to be, they are very wrong! -
I was molested when I was 10 by an uncle. I never told anyone at the time. When I was 14, I told my boyfriend about it. I found out later that my uncle also molested my sister and many other family members. He is still alive, but barely. He is a worthless drunk. I don't feel sorry for him, and I will be relieved when he dies. I never told anyone mostly because I knew it would kill my Dad and I was afraid of what he might do. Funny thing is, my uncle now lives with my Dad. I would love for everyone to know what he did to me and many others, but my Dad is 72 with heart problems, so there's no way I would tell anyone right now. I have 2 half sisters and 2 half brothers. Their step father molested them and countless others. He tried to molest me when I was 12. He asked if he could kiss me, and I said no. That was the end of it with me, but I never spent the night there again because I knew it would happen sooner or later if I didn't stay away. Not too long ago, one of the girls he molested (now grown) told on him for molesting her. My sisters told their mom that he had also molested them. Their mom left him for awhile, but she went back to him a few months later. My brothers and sisters act like it is no big deal. They have even left their children alone with him several hundred times. I'm sure he has molested them countless times as well. Now my oldest sister is adding on to her house so he can move in with her. When I heard about that, all I could say was WTF??? She even has small grandchildren. I really don't understand how you could leave children around a man who molested you and countless others. There was another girl that reported him to the police awhile back, but they never even did anything to him. And patty, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but your son and nephew were probably molested by that man you think needs to be forgiven. The kids are probably just too afraid to tell you the truth. When I was little, a gilr reported my uncle to the police and they came and ask me if he had ever done anything to me. I lied and told her no. Most kids are too ashamed to admit it. I also think you should have gone to the police. As someone else stated, the police can and will arrest someone just for attempting to molest.

I am doing good. Yes, I got the fill on Wednesday. I just started to feel it yesterday. I am hoping this will be the last one for me, but I don't know. I still have a ways to go before I reach goal, so I may need more. Brooke didn't put that much in because she said I was doing so well. I don't think I needed much anyway. I don't eat much at one time, I was just getting hungry very fast, like within 2 hours. But yesterday I didn't even get hungry at all after lunch like I usually do. So hopefully it's going to work. punkster, you should schedule your next fill with Brooke. She's the only one I let do mine. The doctors tend to put way too much in. She's the one who told me to request her each time. When you call, just tell whoever you talk to that you want it with her. slim, I'm sure you will get back on track once you go back to work.

I agree with what jachut said. I also have a huge problem with head hunger. The band doesn't help with that, so you just have to deal with it the best you can. I also agree with what everyone said about exercise. I honestly don't know how people lose and keep the weight off without it.
-
You WILL eat things again, trust me! Sometimes when I don't have any restriction and need a fill, I can eat anything. In some ways that's a good thing, in other ways it's a bad thing.

Yes, I think he had that too, along with many other things.

A Question For the Girls--Men, You've Ben Warned
Carrie_C replied to ALuv82's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, I am the opposite. My period was just fine before I had surgery. Now that I have lost almost 60 pounds my period is crazy. I have had bleeding on and off for months. One month I will have a period and the next I won't. I also have a lot of spotting. My Dr. just changed my birth control pills so hopefully it will help. The doctor said once we get to goal weight, everything should straighten out. I sure hope so. -
Fat and Rich or Skinny and Poor
Carrie_C replied to Jaffa's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That's a good question. I grew up dirt poor, so I'm gonna have to say rich and fat. -
I don't think that's a good idea. Your body will go into starvation mode and you won't be able to lose at all. Have you tried upping exercise? Or maybe you need a fill?

Favorite Band Friendly Fast Food Go To
Carrie_C replied to eriden6222's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't have a problem with sweet potaotes. I haven't tried the sweet potato fries though. I saw them on a menu and wanted to try them, but I was afraid they would get stuck. -
I thought he was good looking back in the day too. He was obviously seriously mentally ill. I am really tired of hearing all the jokes.

Michael Jackson was a little before my time, but I do remember my older sisters doing the moon walk to his music. I don't know if he molested those boys or if their parents told them to say that so they would get a lot of money. But my question is, how did the boy describe his penis? I guess I'm missing something because I thought they all looked the same?! HA HA!!

I live in TN, and it is hot as you know what here too. I don't know if the heat makes it tighter, but when it is hot, I just can't eat much anyway.

Favorite Band Friendly Fast Food Go To

I have no problem with popcorn. I can't eat fries anymore either. I recently tried Captain D's baked fish and it is really good. -
What is the rudest thing someone has said to you?!?!
Carrie_C replied to auntlucy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was wearing red scrubs one day and a patient said to me "You look like a beat with a thyroid problem." I have no idea what that means, but I'm sure it wasn't nice. -
Thanks. I know what you mean. It varies so much from day to day.
-
Yes I did. I have an appointment Wednesday. I am just going to have to get off work early. I really need to go. How are you?
-
I have really good restriction early in the day, but I sure can eat like a pig later in the day. I tried calling to try to schedule a fill, but I never could get through. I will try again in the morning. I just hope they can get me in soon. I usually have to wait at least a month and I can't stand that. I hope they can get me in next week.
-
I need to go for a fill, but my work schedule is so crazy right now I don't have time to fit it in

Average age of a Bandster?
Carrie_C replied to Kellster's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Thanks! I understand what you are saying though about being older. It does make it a lot harder to exercise. I am only 31 but I have bad knees too. I'm guessing from all the weight they have had to carry all these years. I didn't really have a weight problem until I was about 18 and got out on my own. It seemed like the pounds just kept piling on each year until I got to 260 pounds. I wasted my 20s being fat, I'm determined not to waste my 30s and the rest of my life being fat and miserable!
