    Definition....according to media?

    i sure agree with you!!! Notice that ALL the canidates(sp?) running for office are saying they are Christians but i think they all believe in abortions, homosexual marriages etc. Even Hitler stated he was a Christian!!! lol Who wants to follow him??!!! i am glad to find this forum for us believers in Jesus. i love Him. cal

    Weigh Down Workshop

    Hi All, we, ladies, from our church, did this workshop a few years ago but learned that Gwen left her church and started her own. She went off into error about the trinity and other Christian doctrine, so please prayerfully consider this. You can Google for more info on this. cal

    Popcorn?

    HI, i am a popcorn lover and eat it quite often as a snack at night. i use 1 T. oil and popcorn....no butter!!! One kernel at a time and chew carefully. A good snack and low in everything but fiber! :-) cal
  8. i had a lot of stomach and bowel problems after my surgery-----when i got home after a few days. Docs finally decided i had something awful called (nic) C-Diff, which only can be diagnosed with a bowel specimen. Very contagious-----infection of the intestines. Usually treated with one of 2 antibiotics. Had to sanitize everything. Awful!!!!! cal
  9. i eat only when i'm hungry....not just head hunger. thanks for all your replies. cal
  10. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This burping and gurgling is sometimes hurtful---like i have something caught from not chewing good enough---and is uncomfortible. But.......if it's from being too tight, how come i don't have much restriction when i eat? For example......last night i had 3 oz. ground veal, toms, onions and taco sauce in a "taco salad". It was a big bowl and i wasn't really full when i finished. Thanks for your imput. cal
  11. i have a 9.75 cm band with 2.1 fill. Have been filled slowly per doc. After last fill i have noticed a lot of burping and gurgling when i drink liquids..either hot or cold. i wondered if i was too tightly filled but i still eat more than i am supposed to when hungry.....in other words not getting full if i was restricted right. Any answers...suggestions, please? i am due for a fill on Monday and am concerned about it. Thanks, cal
  12. Boy o boy do i want the "not hungry"!!!! Please mail some to me!!! i can always eat and seem to be hungry a lot.....then when i eat it is too much. Must need another fill? cal

    Attorneys for Appeals

    Hi, i have Medicaid and they denied me for lap band but approved me for gastric bypass---which i didn't want. Because of my low income, i was able to get an attorney and i asked for an appeal. They overturned their original denial on the phone! i did most of the research, paper work etc. myself....cuz attorney didn't know about it. cal
  14. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ i have Medicaid and they covered the lap band.....had to fight, tho!! They do require 6 months of supervised diets..usually your PCP. cal
