You have to first lie on the xray table and then they access your port. After they get the needle in, you have to stand up and drink the barrum stuff. Then they look at it go down on the Floro machine. Then they put the saline in. They make you drink some water afterward to make sure it goes down ok. Then they take the needle out and clean you up. I will be honest, it does hurt when they are finding the port. But it doesn't take long.

Well, like I said, I could have gotten a sooner appointment with Dr Fromm, but I would rather for Brooke to do it. Plus I have to go for a follow up in February anyway, so at least I can combine the follow up and the fill.

My mother grew up close to chattanooga, tn, not far from where I live now. This is a very religious part of the state.

You can usually tell if it is too tight during the first day or 2. Just be sure and stick to the diet they give you for the first few days. I made an appointment today for another fill, but it's not for 3 weeks. I could have gone in Wednesday and gotten one from Dr Fromm, but I told them I wanted Brooke to do it since she's the only one who has ever gotten them right for me.

I want Brooke to do mine because the doctors keep putting too much in. I have had to have 2 unfills. Brooke said I need to schedule it with her next time.

It always takes forever when I go in for a fill. I was there for 3 hours one day. Did Brooke do yours?

By the way, I do eat burgers, too. Just without the bun. It's still protein!

I can eat anything I want except bread. It feels like my stomach is blowing up, very painful. I haven't had any problems with pasta or rice though.

You are exactly right. This is exactly what I meant in an ealier post about people putting on a show in church. I also believe that speaking in tonges is a gift from God, and anyone can have the gift if they want it. But I also believe it is to be used during private time and during church only when there is an interpreter. This is the main reason that I stopped attending church on a regular basis. I do not agree with it either.

Yes, I totally agree. The pentecostal church I visit from time to time no longer has these rules either. I wouldn't go if they did, lol. I believe part of the rules also came from a time when there were so called jezabels. They dressed this way, and they were not accepted.

Yes, I believe one reason for these rules was so women didn't lure men into the sin of lust. The part about women not wearing pants also comes from not wanting women to show their "shape". There is also a passage in the old testament that says something like " A woman should not adorn herself like a man." A lot of people took this to mean that pants were for men and therefore women weren't to wear them. (But this passage has something to do with lesbians during that time, which is a whole other thread, LOL). It has not really been that long ago that it became acceptable for a woman to wear pants. My Mother is 48 and when she was in school, girls had to wear dresses. She actually got sent home one day because she wore pants.

That's great! Be sure and come back and let us know how your surgery went. I need to schedule another fill. I have been putting it off. But after being able to eat a whole burrito and nachos from Taco Bell tonight, I know I need to schedule it tomorrow. Does anyone know the whole story about what happened to Johnna?

It used to be also in the Pentacostal church, women couldn't wear pants, couldn't wear makup, and couldn't cut their hair. My mother's grandfather was a pentacostal preacher, and that's how she was raised as well. The rules have changed somewhat, but a lot of churches where I live still believe this way.

I have never done weight watchers either, but I think a lot of people here have. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I have done South Beach in the past and I would love to do it again now if I could get more motivated to.

I agree with slim. That's just nasty!

When I had the cyst burst, I had terrible pain in my right side.

I had one bust once and it hurt so bad I thought I was dying.

Yes, I was going to say the same thing, he probably learned it at home.

I don't have a problem with it either, but my ex would look at it constantly. He would take magazines and go in the bathroom and get off on them. I liked sex too, and I never understood why he would do that, why he preferred that over the real thing. Plus, he would order dirty movies off cable while I was at work. That would really bother me. I think it bothered me most because he lied about it. He would also say he was at work, but later I would find out that he was at a strip club. And he would even lie about that. He once said he drove his friends to the club, but he didn't go in, he said he stayed in the car and waited on them. Yea right!!

Maybe we did, LOL. He was also addicted to porn.

Yea, I think so too. My ex wanted it ALL the time. But he always wanted to do really gross stuff and would get mad when I wouldn't. I'm glad he's gone for good. lol.

I think the cysts can be removed but doctors don't like to remove them for some reason. They keep telling me mine will go away, but it has been years and it has not gone away yet.

I am on birth control pills as well and I still have cysts. They say there is nothing else that they can do.

I also think everyone questions what they believe at one point or another. None of us truely knows what the truth is. That's where our faith comes in.
