I was at the nail salon today to get a brow wax. Most of you women know that a brow wax doesn't take very long, but in the few moments I was there, I heard an interesting conversation.

There was a lady getting her nails done and started talking about her need to lose weight. She looked about 250 or so. Another girl that was there suggested she get the lap band because... get this... it's not a surgical procedure. They just put this strap around your stomach so you can't eat as much.

"So how do they get it on there?" asked the first lady.

"Well I don't know but they don't have to cut you or anything."

"I wonder if I'm too old for that. I might be too old to be having surgery."

"It's NOT a surgical procedure. They just put the strap on your stomach."

"Well how do they get in in there? Through your belly button?"

"I don't know, but I know they don't have to cut you."

Hahaaa. I started to say something, but - I didn't really wanna be pulling my shirt up to show my scars. The girl was so determined that there's no cutting involved, she probably would've demanded it.

It IS outside of the stomach...it is surgically placed around the stomach....but under the skin. I think the person thought it was an external device.

Well ever since my surgeon telepathically placed the band, I have had the worst zits on my abdomen and this one friggin' line on my abdomen that I think the tattoo guy put there - still red - I hope my tat is not infected!
