Thank you! I just sent you a PM. Wondering if you need a new avatar? 50 lbs lost!!!! Molly that's awesome!!

It also means swallowing small amounts of food & washing it on through with liquids so you can eat more. Basically doing all of the things you are not supposed to do & defeating the purpose of the band!

That was wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing!

Well, I just cleaned mine out before i came to talk to you guys. What I found was a bowl of homemade cranberry relish from Thanksgiving. It actually looked & smelled good. I didn't try it though. Besides 8 dozen eggs from my chickens that I'm gonna have to pawn off on somebody, everything else is pretty new.

Here in Arkansas they are doing ear stapling to lose weight. It's supposed to hit a nerve that controls hunger. It works if they hit the nerve. Kind of an accupressure thing.

Thanks again everybody! You sure know how to make a girl feel good!

old woman? whatever! You look beautiful!

http://www.angelfire.com/ok3/vbowen8/ This site goes over ALL of the WLS types & what & how it is done. What odor are you talking about? My sister-in-law had the RNY & her breath was foul for a few months but it passed. But vomits constantly & suffers from dumping syndrome. That's all I know!

http://www.duodenalswitch.com/ Lots of info here on the DS for you.

I like the South Beach bars. You can get them at Wal-Mart. I like the chocolate & PB & the chocolate fudge. They are kind of like rice crispies that are flavored & then the bottom is dipped in chocolate. & they are high in protein.

Welcome Criss! Nice to meet you!

Welcome Dar & Criss! Nice to meet you both! I wasn't able to feel my port until this last month (almost a year after surgery). Fills don't hurt me. It's more like a discomfort. Keep us posted!

What time does 20/20 come on? & on What station? I'm central time.

Surely the people bidding on this are going to use it for teaching purposes?! I hope!! Just goes to show you, you can buy or sale anything on Ebay!

Welcome back! YOU ARE DOING GREAT!

Yay! I'm glad you got good news! Congrats!

Good one!!

That is a huge NSV!! & a huge SV!! I can't wait! Congrats!

The rest of my pics are pretty run of the mill ordinary old wedding pics. This one is my favorite but the quality is poor since I just took a pic of the original with my dig cam. Lonnie is shooting the garter & I'm throwing my boquet at the same time.

That spot is beautiful!All this wedding talk got me looking at my wedding pics. Check out this baby face! LOL! I was 18. I hated that veil! My pics were done by an amateur & we still paid $200 back in 1992.

Ditto, ditto, ditto......! You rock girlie! You keep it fun & interesting! I'm glad you're here & staying!

Mashed avacados with a touch of lemon juice & a sprinkle of garlic powder! Yummmmm!!!!! That was my favorite mushy! Also, refried beans with enchilada sauce & cheese, Homemade applesauce or some pudding are all great options. These things all got me through the rough times! Good luck & have fun!

You go girl!! Keep up the good work! Fight the demons!

Some docs say no sodas cause the carbonation will stretch your pouch. Some bandsters also have extreme discomfort when drinking anything with carbonation. My doc didn't say not to. & I don't have any problems with it. But, I only do it on rare occasions. I don't want to tempt fate!

I was self pay in Arkansas. I paid $14,000. If you are in the healthcare profession, ask for a professional discount. My surgeon gave me one. Good luck to you!
