Fun thread: bonehead docs
After my neices surgery for her appendix, the doctor came in the room while she was recovering and said to my sister, "Do you know where this piece goes?" He had a rubbery red piece (it was fake) and he thought he was funny. Which I actually thought it was, but my sister was PISSED. I still laugh about that, which actually pisses my sister off more, which in turn makes me laugh even harder. On another note, I went to a doctor for Bronchitis. He used a regular Duracell flashlight to look in my mouth to my throat. Then he used a plastic spork to hold down my tongue. I thought he was kidding. Then he had me cough and spit onto a paper plate to which he actually smeared it around with the same spork he had used to hold my tongue down. I walked out. Didn't even say a word. Just walked out.

BMI 32 lookng for inexpensive surgeon
Mexico or another country is probably your only option with that low of a BMI. How can you have a BMI or 30-32... there is about 30 lbs difference between the two numbers.

Do you swallow?
LMAO, Well I came to this thread for all the wrong reasons too. So what is the "do you swallow" question anyways? Are you asking if we do flouro? In my opinion it is the ONLY way to have a correct and true fill and rest assured that my band is okay.

Weight Loss & Breakouts?????????????
Yep, I had breakouts too. I quick trip to the dermatologist and he gave me a prescription of Duac. Works like a charm.

Need some advice...Colonics
Go to a massage therapist. Every time I go to my massage appointments it always stirs a good healthy bowel movement. I finally got the courage to ask the therapist if this is a coincidence and she told me that by stimulating the muscles it promotes expulsion of waste, including bowel movements (both #1 and #2). Also releases a lot of toxins, and is why they ask you to drink plenty of water for the next 24 hours to flush it all out.

Morality VS Self Preservation (Neighbor issues)
Only if they are threatening them with a deadly weapon or an instrument that would cause serious physical harm as defined by statutes. (baseball bat, lead pipe, vehicle, etc). In that case, an assault would be implicated.

Would you do it all over again?
I have looked, I wish I could find it and contact someone that has had the band that long! That would make me feel soooooo much better!

Would you do it all over again?
I think it is because I am coming up on 1 year now. Most erosions seem to happen between 18-24 months it seems. I am just nervous and scared. I don't want to panic, but I am.

Harleynana, A fresh fabric softener sheet for the computer monitors. Not the thin sheet kind but the spongy sheets. I have been working on the sink issue... Here is what it looks like thus far. It is only 2 years old!! I think it should sparkle more and look nicer, am I being too picky??? Arrrrgh, I am going to be so embarrassed by these pictures!!! Okay, here goes... here is a picture of the entire sink.
