I totally disagree with the fact that the stronger believer you are the more riches you will have... I dont believe that God means riches as on things here on earth, not material things anyway. My mom who never drinks never smokes never go out she wont even watch a rated R movie. She is a very very strong Cristian lady. And she lives in a trailer that is falling apart. She make a little over 500.00 a month. She just lost her right leg and cant walk. But she is not depressed she is happy she never runs out of food she always has someone come visit her, and take her out. And she always has money. Now I truely think that she is more blessed because she has Gods love in her heart and she doesnt worry about anything like where her next meal will be, or how she is going to pay mortage. So I do not believe the more you love God and the more Faithful or devoted you are the more pocket money and riches you will have.

Oh I love the Silver Jewelry Club site too... I go there all the time when I am online.. I always to to pop in to see whats up. I have gotten a few really cute things... The make great gifts!

My hubby had me stay home... and we have no kids. but I do all the cleaning and running around. I had went back to school and now I am out of school again... still with no job. They lowered my husband pay at work so we are living off barely nothing. I want to get a job now, but I have been really sick and still awaiting my band replacement surgery. Plus I have been out of work for almost 6 years so I would probably just be able to get a call center job and the most. I wish I could work from home but I dont know what I would do.

Yeah you all are GREAT! Thanks for all you do! keep up the good work ((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

:pound: :pound: :pound: :pound: That was a GREAT one! I hate it when people act like that, it is very childish of them. I have things like that happen to me so many times. One time a guy asked me if I thought I was disabled.... another time someone said look at that B***h she so fat if she doesnt die from that shes smoking haha.... Yeah people can be cruel. but no matter how you ignore them or try to blow it off like nothing, it still hurts.

Congrats!!! That is great news! Keep up the good work

Hamu!!!! Hun take a breather..... Okay now... worse case, if there is a leak it is easily replaceable.. trust me.. I have been there. I had a leak in the port and it was replaced. really easy and simple. to me anyway. Now try not to get to emotional until you find out for sure. I know how hard it can be thinking you have a leak in your port. Take it easy and relax hun it is fixable!

I dont know Dr. Johnell... but heard he is really good. How did your consult go?

Cutting a nerve to control hunger??? I never head of it... seems odd, I dont know. Seems like I am hungry all the time too... but I only eat when I am bored. I am in the process of getting my band replaced so I have no restriction. So I know how it is to be hungry all the time.

Here is mine: An amputee overhears you as you snicker and make jokes about him. Enraged, he beats you to death with his prosthetic leg. whats funny is my mom has an amputed leg.... I better not make jokes about it huh. lol

:typing: Hello!!!! Well I am starting to feel more better every day. I went to go see the wound specialist yesterday and everything was looking good. She said I should be healed up in no time!!!! I cant wait, now I can get my new band! Well the insurence is putting up a fight again :Banane09: So I am having my hubby call and get things done over the phone today. I hope everything works out. Last time (my 1st surgery) my husband had to call them too but once he did i was approved the next day. I hope we are that lucky today. I want my new band so bad and I really want to lose weight. I am still trying to get down a few pounds. Well I think everything will work out really well this time!

:Banane09: Well I talked to the nurse at my band Dr.'s office. I was suppose to go in this Friday for him to look at my wound. Maybe even stitch it up. Well I can not make it out this Friday... no money for traveling. Anyway my Band Dr. was very happy to know I was seeing a wound specialist out here and that there is no reason for me to travel to CO to see him, since he was only going to look at it. He also said that he does not want to replace my band yet until I am completely healed due to the fact I am at high risk of infection. We are still having a lot of problems getting an approval from my insurence so maybe its a good thing that we wait until we get that approval. Over all I am doing pretty good :bounce: my hole is still deep but not as wide... I guess thats what they mean by healing from the inside out. It still gets old packing it everyday and I bleed a lot, which is a good thing. My hubby is really good taking care of me. I get pain still sometimes so bad I cry but I guess that comes with the fact I have a hole in my tummy. I am going to try and lose some weight... I will record what I am eating so I can hit myself later for eating that LOL I want to lose 5-10 before surgery... Today I weigh in at 287.5. Hey I really have not gained much being I have NO restriction. But on some days I feel I do have restriction and I do something very bad that NO bandster should ever ever do..... I dont even want to utter the words out of my mouth. :kiss Wish me luck I want to be at 280 or 277 by surgery!!!!!!! :clap2:

Havent you read.... Pale is the NEW Tan!!! (its was in Cosmo) hehe

Hmmmmm for some reason this seems odd to me. Did your band Dr. say it is okay to keep your band in even if its not in the right place? Is there no possiable effects from this? Cant they go back in a place the band in the correct area? Sorry for all the questions... Maybe I am miss undestanding the whole thing.

Oh Diane, what a wonderful NSV and what a beautiful family you have. goofy or not you look GREAT!!!!!!!!

I think even today I go through that and I have no restriction. The band I have noticed will let you eat tons of food (bandsters volume) and the next nothing. I remember after being banded when I was on solid foods, I could eat chicken one day and the next not even one bite. same with breads, even hot dogs would be a problem. You never know what mood your band is in any given day. Crazy little band!!! lol

Happy Mothers Day:grouphug: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :kiss2: :angel:

Oh how cute.... I just love puppies!

Robyn, I was just thinking of you today. I am glad everything went well. You are in my thoughts and prayers! (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

Oh Cyrstal, I am so sorry to hear all of this. We all are here for you. Love ya girl!! (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))

I am feeling much better then my last post. I guess it is normal to go through feelings of depression and sadness once in a while. I also have realized that I cant put all the blame on my Dr. I dont think he sees me and says "I am going to mess up her life today" It is just a freak thing that happened. And if you really look at it, its not all really all that bad. I havent slipped or eroded to make me lose my band forever. I just have a leak and its getting replaced. I had an infection in the port and it got removed. That is what is suppose to be done. I went back and edited a lot of my posts on here so it doesnt read so dramatic. I am staying with my Dr. I have been with him a year and I am going to get him the chance to fix this mess. I knew that there could be possiable complications having this I am STILL willing to take that risk. I cant give up hope yet, I have to keep going. I need a better life for myself and if I am willing to go all the way with this... I know my Dr. is too. I started this thing to lose and by golly I AM GOING TO FINISH!!!!!!! Holes, Leaks and all!!!!
