Lap-Band Talk Rants and Raves (NEW!) Gripe, complain, moan, fight, rant and rave. Enter at your own risk! Mouse, I know your tring to help.. and I agree with you as far as ignoing, but this is The " Rants and Raves" so if you so belive in that please take your own advice, as I dont see ignore in the decription of this forum.

Quoted by Brooklyn " I guess I've just realized this is no place for me. I know all obese people aren't cruel but I've met my fair share of them on here. It's not very encouraging. I don't agree with the Tired Old Man...none of his posts. It is nothing but dribble and one-sided opinions and God help anyone that doesn't agree. Is this what obesity does to you people. If so perhaps you need to look at another reason for saying people treat obese people differently...maybe it isn't how you look but how you act." I didn't appreciate my mom being brought into this conversation by Susan. Her business is her business and yes it did hit a sour note I'm sorry to say and it was totally uncalled for. I wish you the best of luck. You seem like one of the nicer ones here. Best of luck to you." Brooklyn, I understand the upsided down situation you are in, and I myself dont always agree with eveyone here, but it clealy states in the rules not to attack people if you disagree with Ideas but to debate the ideas, yes I know that T_O_M can be a bit one sided ,but he is passionate about his oppinion and is not always open to hearing others disagree with him, but he ( to my Knowlage) has never attacked the person for disagreing. I have found much support , love and help here on this board and I would REALLY like to see it go back to that. If you have something to offer in the way of support without participating or causing such Drama, then Do so. so If "this is no place for you" then please for the sake of all others here and yourself go ..

I have a whole box ( giant box of 28-26-24) you say the word and its going your way!!

"Any person who has a Body Mass Index greater than 40, or who has a Body Mass Index exceeding 35 and suffers from major illness caused by, or made significantly worse by their obesity, has the indications for undergoing surgery for their morbid obesity." Their health risk is so great that it outweighs the risk of surgery, even though the surgery is NOT 100% effective, and may carry with it a risk of significant, even life threatening complications.

Hey Patti, remember its normal to be nervous!! If you like me you waited a long time for this and its finally happing!! There are some complications, and I’ve had some good days and some bad days.. but I subscribe to the nothing worth having came easy . Just remember to listen to your body, take it easy and when you get flustered and frustrated.. know you can come here and get support. we are all on this road together some of us further along then others, that’s what makes it so great! As for protein, I used carb solutions, its inexpensive and tastes good, ( although not in water ) Mix it with skim milk. or liquid yogurt. After the surgery you will go through allot of changes in the first 4 weeks , these are the hardest! The first week will be great and the second, you will get so sick of liquids, then by the 4th week you will be getting hungry again, but you wont have a fill, so hang in there!! then get your fill, For me it only took 2 but every one is different.. right now my daily menu is Morning 32 oz water with 6 oz of isopure (15 gm protein) 4 oz of cottage cheese and fruit between meals 32 oz water with 6 oz of isopure (15 gm protein) Lunch 2 oz of lean meat tuna, chicken, turkey 1 oz of cheese 1 oz of fruit 1 oz of crackers between meals 32 oz water with 6 oz of isopure (15 gm protein) Snack yogurt Dinner 6 oz of what ever is on the menu!! Its VERY important for your weight loss and for your over all success to weigh your food, get a good food scale. It has been my saving grace, and you don’t want to stretch out your pouch!! If I eat right and drink my water , I am rarely hungry , even when it is time to eat. good luck! Paula

any health issues? Its my understanding that those with low bmis some times opt to go to mexico because the qualifications are more flexable.

I was going to say the same , it wont end if we must continue to rehash it..

you see I know what they meant by grumpy old men.. LOL Thanks for the insight.. and I think your right, with such a low level of versatility you wouldn’t like it. best you stay in and just watch it on TV.

check ticketmaster !! you can't fix stupid!!

Ron white was funny in Vegas last night!!

Your right Stella, there are lots of proficient DR ( being a paramedic and a ER Coordinator in Las Vegas ) has taught me that . I know you are entitled to your opinion, and just like there are some people that you like and others don’t, I know DR fisher can be a little hard to swallow for some, although to me he is wonderful.. Thank you for the clarification.. and I’m not one to cat fight either.. =)

Jack , what did you see and do in vegas? did you go snow sking at mt charleston, or rock climbing at red rock.. maybe you went out to the lake and took s cruise.. did you see any of the highly rated shows, or maybe enjoy the several rollar coaster and thrill rides around town?
