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.

A couple people I know thought this too! They were like OMGOMG let me see your port! So I lifted my shirt up and they were very disappointed.

I'm with AngelWhisper on this one. Definitely!

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.

:tongue_smilie: What the heck? I wanna know how this kind of information gets spread around or if people just make assumptions.

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:
