HolliJ 24 Posted June 12, 2009 My co-worker thought there would be a tube sticking out of my abdomen and that was the way you got a fill!!:laugh::lol::lol: Mine did, too, lmao!! When I told her about the lapband, that was her impression. I had no idea she was thinking that. She just told me yesterday that she watched a medical show and realized it's under the skin! DUH, lol! I was wondering why her expression was like :thumbdown: when I told her about it in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

i1Linda 15 Posted June 13, 2009 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! Okay - I am considering getting LapBand and trying to learn everything I can. This is my first time to post. I just had to. This is too funny. If it were that easy, I would have done it already.

sandiegokate 0 Posted June 15, 2009 OK, this is a funny thread, but I have to say there IS some truth to what the lady said in the nail salon! Maybe she saw the same show I did in the morning. A couple of weeks ago, on Good Morning America they showed a NEW procedure that is being tested that is non-surgical. They go through the mouth down the esophagus and work from there. Here is a link to the story: No Scars: New Obesity Surgery Goes Through Mouth - ABC News Sounded really cool, but will be a while before it is mainstream.. I'd rather not wait! By the way, my mom thought I was going to have a tube sticking out of me to do the fills too..haha!!! So, there is sometimes a bit of truth in the banter that goes on! :tongue_smilie: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
