I tried my married name = death dealer. Must be why Im divorced. I used my middle name = bloody kisses.

mine is Velvet Tears.

Thanks wasa.

She does not want to wait either, with jr prom comming up. There is also alot of competition with her and my 14 year old neice. Who is 5'7 1/2 and 118. And the dating and parties. I want her to feel good about herself. I want her to enjoy a long and healthy life.

Mrspruett, I will point out the health proplems he does know some of them since he is alsoover weight has high bp and diabeates. Yes we are all on good terms. Thanks

Thanks Jetti

It could be very quick. That is something to think about, that way she can see this is for life. Thank you

Jetti, Dr, Carl Strom Who was your doctor?

WASa, I really think she could handle it. I am not banded yet but will be as soon as I get my medicare problem taken care of. I have been researching since May of 07, I have gone to two seminars, the dr's eaxm the nutrition appt, and I have been here since June. She is already having problems with her knees. She does have many friends all thin. She is not dating. But, there is this one boy she really likes, and is in every class always online or texting. I feel he can't or won't ask her out because of her weight. I was overweight in school but, not as much as Jessy. So I know how hard it is for her. Thanks

We have been divorced for 5 years now. I can usually ask him for anything for Jessie and he will say yes. This I will have to approach diffrently and have all the info ready to answer his questions. And explain the health benefits. Or do it with out telling him. lol

Her name is Jessica. I am not sure if he will go. His insurance is bc/bs. He is a respiratory theripst. The surgery would be done at Mountainside Hosp in New Jersey. Thanks Cris & Mindy

My daughter is 16 and has just told me yesterday she wants the band. I have no problem with this. It will be her father. She wants to go to the jr prom in June of 2008 has even found a dress, not her size. Can you help me in what I could say to him to convince him this the the best thing for her. :help: My mother who is 500+ lbs thinks she is too young. My feeling is she should do this. Why wait till she needs meds, and continue to gain. Let's make the rest of junior and senior year better for her. What changed her mind about the band was seeing the "Before & after pics" I think it was the one of Puddin. Thanks

I like that one.

Hi Karlee, I can help with the party as that is what I do. When is the party and what does she want? I am in New Jersey.

Lauren, I agree with you 100%. I was married at just before my 22 bd and seperated 12.5 years later. Never, I would go out with you in a heartbeat. When I was 40 I did date a guy who was 22. You know what he did for a living. Made pizza. So if your ever in Jersey.

Thats a great story.

I am from Bloomfield New Jersey. Anybody near here?

I would have kept Chicken. PG or the one who was should have been voted out.

I'll be watching can't wait.

I don't know how these people function. How could anyone think that the band goes on the outside.

Thanks for the info. I will keep this in mind for when I am banded.

Yukaputz, I won't give you any advice. But I am sorry you are going through all of this.

Good luck to you both.

Shelli, he sounds great wish I was 10 years younger.
