Some things to remember about being a member of LBT. When we all joined,there are rules and guidelines we all agreed to follow. One of them is to show respect for other members. This thread alone is going against that guideline. Everyone has a right to express their opinion. Everyone has a right to either agree or disagree with that opinion but NO ONE has a right to resort to name calling. On LBT everyone is entitled to their opinion on any particular doctor good, bad or otherwise. Where the line is drawn is when it becomes an advertisement for that doctor. There have been several posts with this type of wording and LBT is not the place to advertise for one specific doctor, group, or entity PERIOD! This website will not be used as an advertisement tool for or against a specific, doctor, group, entity, surgery, etc. There is nothing wrong with supporting, reporting, or suggesting using a particular doctor, group, entity, etc. When you list the prices that is where it gets dicey not only for LBT but for the doctor. In the future just make a suggestion of contacting them directly to get pricing.

I will look into it and consult the other moderators. Thanks guys for bringing it to our attention.

WHOO HOO!!! CONGRATS!!! Wonderful!!! I am so happy for you. Keep up the great work. IT will get better.

Vera I am tired too. WHEW!! WORE OUT!!!

Kelly I was just thinking about Paula this morning. I hope they are ok. I will send up prayers of protection for all of them. My daughter in Florida didn't get much of anything other than some hard rain. THen it skipped into the gulf and picked up steam and force. It is a category 5 now with winds at 175 MPH. HUGE prayers. They are evacuating New Orleans. MORE PRAYERS!!!

Kare and Jenna thanks bunches for the info. I just now need to make some phone calls. I will post what I find.

Karen said the BAD WORD. ICE CREAM. I need it. I want it. Must have it. LOL!!!!

Yeah I will let you know what I find out and you let me know what you find out. LOL! My main concern is the scar left. What does it look like? LOL!!

I am only brave enough for the arms right now. LOL!!! And may some lipo on my mid section and hips.

I am seriously looking for a GREAT plastic surgeon now. Any suggestions? Preferably in the states.

DEE DEE: Good luck and everything will be just fine. I will say an extra prayer for you that morning. Aren't you excited though? I know I was the day of my surgery. I was also slightly nervous as well. Then I woke up and all was well. HUGS DEE DEE

Welcome aboard!! This was the best decision I could have ever made. I have a brand new lease on life.

If all goes well hopefully by Spring of 2006.

Some of us are showing up in Sept for a Bash.

LOL!! WORKS FOR ME!!!

Oh sounds like fun. Keep us posted Alexandra on your band issues. Go fly be free and enjoy yourself. Sounds devine. PICS please when you return.

Karen I sent you a PM. AS far as food goes. I still enjoy it all. I have learned to avoid certain foods though. Like breads, crackers, some pastas. Just doesn't go down easily. I eat sushi still. I can't do the seaweed but if you request it be wrapped in rice paper then that is just as good. The rice sometimes gives me problems but I just take it slow and eat smaller portions. I still love love food. That part was not made smaller by the band. I just make better choices now and eat healthier. I still enjoy my meals. They are not a chore.

Instead of "fat" I prefer "chunky" nurses. LOL!! I was a Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse for 8 LONG years. I retired from nursing 4 or 5 years ago.

I agree kill him with kindness and if that doesn't work tell him he is wearing last seasons shoes. That will get him. LOL!!

Not seeing any of that Delarla. Guys, Alex the owner did some updating to the website a few days ago. This is most likely the problems. If they are bothersome then please send an email to him. You can contact him via this website. Do a search for him in the members list. He is the first Alex listed.

Aww Zoe thanks for all your wit and wisdom along this journey. You are such an inspiration to us all. Oh and by the way, love the boot kicker too.
