    I am not sorry I supported President Obama with my vote or my money. He has a BIG OL Mess to clean up,I trust that he is thoughtfully trying his best. Twelve months is not enough time to judge..........D^&$$%#& you wish Bush could have continued running this country? Where have you been the last 8 yrs I mean what rock?

    Why do liberals Hate Sarah Palin?

    Progressives agree Palin is a poor excuse for a candidate as Vice President or President of the United States of America. She saw Putans head peering at her in Alaska,,,,,,,,,,,come on give this a rest.

    Do you drink soda?

    Not since surgery 10/15/09.I ve been drinking carbonated beverages since I was about 10 or earlier. While the rest of the world grabbed for a cup of coffee I grabed my caffine fix from the refridgerator in a can. My dr and research show its a negative with the LB. I thought giving up the diet coke would be my biggest battle SERIOUSLY . 35 days later and I amazed that I see it everyday without grabbing for the can.

    Health Care

    Could be that over 60% of the population do want a public option,most polls agree of this.It could be the INSURANCE LOBBY is tossing around alot of dollars in Washington attempting to keep the status quo.Insuring the BIG profits in their pockets,Greed is rampant and THEY want to confuse the issue.Corruption will be the undoing of this country.............NOT TAXES

    qoute for the day " You like your plan keep it" I have no problem with that promise. But however insurance companies cannot go unchecked. We can see what happens when they do.If Insurance companies can't stand a little competion there is something seriously WRONG with the system. GREED cannot trump Christianity!

    Why can't we afford to save the life of another???????????? I am praying for you and others that oppose healthcare for all. My prayer is to have your eyes opened. Patti go to your local public health clinic interview those who live this truth each day, and come into the light "people are dying from lack of access to healthcare in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

    Fact ck .org, President Obama's 1st yr office something like 1 trillon on his own( add Bush's mess it equals 13 trillon hmmmmmmmmmmm) Where have you protestors been during the past 8 yrs,I know under the rug..... trying to keep up your health insurance premiums and cost....Can you really afford another 30 % increase...This effects more than just the uninsured it effects all our families. 40 % of working families cannot afford to cover even their children........NOW thats sad

    As a Christian how can anyone be against a healthcare system that provides care for all Americans. Our curent health care system is based on ability to pay. Over 42 million Americans+ have no health insurance. So some say thats fair,I say its inhumane. People die everyday in this country because of this cast system of healthcare delivery.I am ashamed that our country continues to treat the least of our brothers in this matter. YES I work with the uninsured everyday so YES I see peole everyday struggling to pay for life saving medications like Plavix and everyday I see the results of not being able to fill even half of a prescription. Glen Beck and others have convinced many that public clinics care for the uninsured, the truth is that they provide patch work healthcare. The doctors there will tell you if you inquire that they can identify that someone might have cancer,but there are no funds to provide testing or advanced treatment many of them need to survive.
  19. Every thing sounds normal which is good actually. I was banded on Oct 15 so your experience is very fresh.It will take several more days before you begin to feel better. Just keep coming back to Lap Talk for the reassurances you need. Three weeks out I feel great ! I am happy with my decision to band Good Luck:rolleyes2:
  20. Please don't give up on yourself,keep trying everything........ Oct. buddy I was banded on the 10/15 , don't lose heart. There are many here that are here to support you.Hearing that you are ready to give up hurts in a big way,real deep and I don't even know you. But I really do know,:biggrin: you are just like me

    List of October Bansters

    Good Morning to all, I was banded on 10/15/09.So far my restriction is still pretty tight. I ve lost 31 lbs so far. I have visited my Doc once with of course many complaints...I just get weak feeling,flutters in my chest. He sent me to the hospital just for a quick ck in emergency room. My body is just a big protestor of the starvation mode haha ! My biggest surprize in the ER was the doc said he wanted to show me something..he liffted up his scrub shrit to notice the marks of a banded person. He was 6 months out 50 lbs liter and feeling great. What a comforting site:lol:
  22. I was banded on 10/15/09,I went through my 6 month pre op hoops with only the support of a very few and their word to not share the info with all. After my surgery they were free to let who ever they cared to know. So,I guess I am out of the closet ,I am obese and need a better tool to battle what I ve battled all my life. Actually its kinda freeing ,I don't care what others who truely don't care about me THINK about the method to my current maddnes.:tongue_smilie:

    Soda soda soda

    I am a reformed Diet Coke addict (5-6 cans a day),but surprizeingly enough I survived the withdrawl. I did not give up untill after surgery. It seems that with all the other discomforts of post op it hardly seemed that important anymore "Did I say that" YES! When I started feeling better after surgery I did not want to do anything to cause myself any problems. I was banded on Oct 15 2009.

    Keeping it a secret?

    My thoughts..........of course my family and close friends know I was banded on Oct 15 2009. I did'nt share with others untill the surgery was over. My co-workers know from my friends @ work.There is a support to be gained by being open. I also believe for me their is comfort in being honest about mylife long issue,YES! I need help to overcome overeating/obesity! I refuse to allow ppl who don't like or care about me ,:thumbup:define me.
