:whoo: :whoo:Woo Hoo!! :whoo: :whoo:

Ooooooo, I get so angry. Stupid, Stupid Companies and Governments!!!!!

Ya know, I would have done the same. For me, once I made up my mind to do it, I needed it done yesterday. However, I was thinking(very dangerous), it certainly gives you a glimpse into the 2-tier health care system, that the feds keep talking about. People who can come up with the money get their services first. Hmmmmmm.

Awwwwwe..... .....thank goodness for our fellow bandsters!

Ohhhh, okay....see, I WAS missing something. That is a dilemma. Fortunately, you'r government will pay, but then you have the wait. Damned if ya do, or don't.

Basically throwing up. If you eat too fast or don't chew enough, and food gets stuck in the band and cant go down, well...........it comes up. Thats the long and short of it. It's sometimes is accompanied by pain(when it is stuck), then a huge relief, and is usually accompanied with large amounts of slime. I'm not trying to scare you, honestly. It's not that bad. Everyone will do it eventually........except maybe Irishmist(hey Maria, are you still a PB virgin?). Basically it's throwing up. Hope that helps.

I think I'm missing something?? I had a consultation in 3 weeks, and booked my surgery that day for 8 weeks later.

Good Luck Lila!!! Like Mandi, I am also curious, where your at with your fills(how many, cc's, etc)???

'The year of the vomit' Ha, Ha, I like that!!...........not really I find my PBing goes in stages. I wont PB for months, then 2-3 in a row. Hence, I do believe that the irratation thing is true. If you irratate your band, the more tightness, heartburn and PBing goes on, and its like chasing your tail til you give it a rest for a day or so.

ummmmm, ya

JLB Welcome! Best of Luck in you journey. Let us know how it goes!

First of all I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!! We have been busy, but it was very good indeed. I have discovered something and wanted to share it with you all. I was at my brother and sister-in-laws house for Chinese food for Christmas Eve dinner. We decided for fun that we would all eat with chop sticks. I have never ate with chop sticks before so it took me a bit to get onto it. Well, everyone else was complaining, but I LOVED IT!!! It is perfect for a bandster!!! Small bites, by the time you get more food together you have long since eaten the last bite. No golf balling, no waiting for food to go down, lots of time to figure out if your full. No wonder Asian people are thin. So I brought home 8 sets of sticks. I think I'm going to eat with them always, they are perfect!!!

Ha, Ha, Ha Hilairious!!! Oh, green, I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you.:rolleyes

Mandi, I'm feeding off your energy.............Do you feel the drain?? I'm sick of eating the $hit around here. You've totally inspired me with your energy, thank-you. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

OMG, that would be too funny.

Hey, Holy ticker, Mandi!!!!!! Your in the 180's, WOW!!!! Awesome!!!! I"M SO JEALOUS................I have a truffle belly from Christmas....lol

Hi misspiano, welcome!!! I cannot help you with the area of sarnia, but I can tell you I have never had a single regret, except that I wish I had done lapband sooner!!! Feel free to come on and visit with us any time. Good Luck!!

:bananajump: :Banane44: :Banane34: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!:Banane34: :Banane44: :Banane42: :Banane10: :Banane27: :bananajump: I want to wish all my lapband buddies a very Happy New Year!!! What an exciting New Year we have to look forward to. All the best in 2007!!!!

Your doing great Bandiva!!! It's okay to feel what your feeling. That has been the hardest lesson for me. I didnt allow myself to feel, therefore ate, and ate, and ate. Feeling what your feeling, no-matter what it is, is just fine. Feel it and next thing, your mov'n on.

I'm sorry I cannot help you, but hang tight, there will be someone who can. Keep checking in and you'll get some answers. Also, go back to some old threads on the Canadian section here, you might find what your looking for.

Woo Hoo, I'm Bridget Bardot.

Well, thanks green, but actually I havent weighed myself since Christmas Eve. I'm kinda (really) scared. I'm gonna brave it tommorow - Jan 1st!!

1. I slipped a few times this year going to the Casino, not a good place for me. So NOT entering the Casino in 2007!!!! 2. Paying off my Visa, Yikes!! 3. Before the end of the year, I would like to jog. Even if it's a little bit. 4. Grow my hair back. 5. Have more fun with my family.

Better grab Mr. Yoda for some more exercise!!!
