VENT HERE - anger about Katrina Relief
Vines, Yes, I hadn't thought of some of the reasons you gave I guess. I asked the question not to blame the victims but to get some insight as to why others think people stayed. Your points are well taken and appreciated.

Remember?
As a kid I would set an alarm to be able to watch this cartoon. Anyone remember him? I would sit in the living room and yell with him at the top of my lungs. My mom HATED him. Who can recognize him???? My hero....

VENT HERE - anger about Katrina Relief
This hurricane was a horrible and terrible tragedy. I feel sorry for the victims who have lost loved ones, their homes, etc. But I have a question... why didn't they leave? They categorized this hurricane about 4 days before it hit. Why not go inland? Even if they are the poor, they could have been the poor in a safer area. It isn't like they didn't know they were below sea level. I am not in any way saying they deserve this but geeshhhhhh, much of this could have been avoided. The cities issued evacuations. And even set up busses to take people inland. Some were too damn stubborn to get on the busses. On the last day, 70% of the busses were cancelled because no one was getting on. Where were they?

cost
try finding some low interest surgery loans. I know that www.plasticsurgeryfinancing.com is one I looked into and www.lendingtree.com and www.beautysurg.com or...Maybe take equity out on the house?? Start Ebay selling to help pay for it? Sell somthing? I know that Christina was selling her wedding dress to pay for the band. Maybe talk to her about how she did it? I was lucky enough to be able to finance on my own though. Also, many doctors also have financing options. GOOD LUCK!!!

What Lapband rules should never be broken and why?
My top rule is no carbonation. Call me crazy, but I just don't want to chance it. Don't miss it at all either. Which is REALLY surprising to me.

I was banded by Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta
LOL, yes, I was referring to his words, thanks for clarifying to the idiotic Sarah hee hee hee. Ok, I hate to be mean (actually I don't really mind it on this one, but nice to say)but this guy posts the SAME thing EVERY post and has nothing really more to contribute. So as far as I am concerned, he is added to my ignore list and he can suck the fat ring around my belly.

If you could go back in time and give yourself advice after the op, what would it be?
The band is merely a bracelet without a fill. Learn Patience.
