Is it really? hey good thing you said that. I was recently banded and I did notice I had more gas.. especially in the morning.. I'm lucky my hubby is at work cuz.. I have so much of it..

Hey Tricia, I left you a comment the other day..lol I have been on this site more since I saw your post on the other site..lol I'm getting more familiar with it and to be honest I think I like it better..

I was invited to a group a while back and I denied the request becuause I was still just starting to get familiar with it.. I can't find it though.. I had browsed the members of the group and there were about 25 members.. I wonder if it was just someones site? anyway I felt weird about it at first but once I started finding many of my Jr.High and even Elementary school friends I was hooked..lol I was on classmates for 2 years only had contact with 3 people.. I have been on myspace for about 4 months and I have found like 10 of my old friends..

http://obesityhelp.com/forums/LapBand/about.html I'm not sure if you visit this site but I think it helped a few of my family members understand the surgery.. I also have this link to a video on Fox News where there is a Dr. Talking about the surgery (for anyone interested in seeing it) http://www.foxnews.com/video2/launchPage.html?050206/050206_studiob_fat&Trimming%20the%20Fat&Studio_B&New%20study%20finds%20gastric%20banding%20surgery%20could%20work%20for%20moderately%20obese&Health&-1&Trimming%20the%20Fat&Video%20Launch%20Page

The poop in the water thing is soooo funny :clap2: I love all the replies I keep reading them over and over... well I got another one. I hate it when you have to fart and your in the market.. you go to an Isle that is empty to release the pressure only to find your not alone! someone with quiet sneakers is standing right behind you!,,LMAO or should I say me. Hey it's gross but it's happend.:grouphug:

Fixed! the problem and the bucket are gone! lol yea my son asks too many questions. I know they help with balance but you know I have seen on the Discovery Channel where people in certain countries (not all peoplle but some) for some reason or another are missing their toes and they can walk, so I ruled the balance thing out cuz it's still possible without toes. (a little shaky but possible) I do think they come in handy for picking things up like our chonies and stuff ..lol and hey the male nipple thing is another one but I'll let that one go. When my son comes home from school today I'll have a good answer... Thank You !

I hate it when you just get out of the shower and you have to take a dump..lol you have to get back in the shower just to feel 100% clean.

:clap2: That's a cute pic

hey girl..I just wanted to say hola!:wave: oh and I'm paying $3.25 here in Southern Cali.

I drive a Black 2003 Toyota Sequoia.. fully loaded, leather seats, huge moonroof..I love it! what I don't like are the gas prices.. Wendy
