Update on my Wound
Well The green is gone.. woohoo... but I dont know when or if it will ever come back. I went to see the wound specialist today and thought maybe I should go see the Dr. at the wound clinic but she called in the Dr. ..... Dr..... hehe and he said that they will take good care of me, and that right on they are more worried about infection then anything else. I did ask why it looked like the outside was closing faster then the inside... He said "Well it hasnt closed, and if it does you need to come in right away and we will re open the outside wound back up" So I think I am in good hands, The wound doesnt look great but, at lest it is not full of pus and I am not running fever all the time. I think thats the main thing the Dr. was worried about. So No matter how bad I think it looks, my Dr. will think it looks better, as long as its not infected or ozzing pus. I guess I feel good about it all, its harder when its your own body and you see all the changes in it. Well thats my update just case anyone was wondering. Thank you all for everything and all your support!!!!

This is funny!!
Yes he was fired... and there are some really nice AOL reps out there. But there are also so many other companies that have mean people working, not just AOL. Plus some of the people that call into AOL are really really rude, and AOL employees have to take it. I dont think its a great way to live and work, but thats where this world is at. Mean people on the phone on the road in stores and resturants. They are all over!

johnson & Johnson or Inamed band
I thought Johnson and Johnson made the Inamed band.... Im not sure, I know my brother works for Ethicon (johnson and johnson co.) and He said they are making all the tools to install the lap band there and another ethicon is making the Inamed band.. Maybe it is a diffrenet brand and he didnt know.

FUNNY JOKES (Don't look if you don't know how to laugh)
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, and reads her book. Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?" "Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, Isn't that obvious?") "You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her. "I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading." "Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. "I'll have to take you in and write you up." "If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman. "But I haven't even touched you, " says the game warden. "That's true but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment." "Have a nice day ma'am," and he left. MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Found DURING surgery liver too big i
I was on a liquid diet for 10 days before my surgery. I was told it was a 45 min surgery, I was under for 2 hours because my liver was so big that he had a very hard time going round it. But I guess he did it, because I am banded, just took awhile.
