Did I mention that Camelot was terrible? Lou DIamond Phillips is as bad on the big screen as he is on stage!
-
Rent is my absolute fav... Others I have seen include but aren't limited to: (LOL) Le Mis Joseph Beauty and the Beast Camelot --> sucked Phantom Chicago
-
I'll just go ahead and throw this out there... GO PATRIOTS!! Who do you think will win?
-
Sometimes persistance pays off. If it is the same hiring manager they may continually see your resume cross thier desk and put the pieces together... I say keep sending them.
-
That is AWESOME news! Let us know how things progress!

What a terrible display of football... I would expect that from the Dolphins, but not the Patriots! I will forever be scarred because of that game! -
It is an awesome thing to wake up to in the morning. It sits on our 27 hole golf course here.

It is almost time for the coveted Superbowl Commercials!!! I can't wait to see what the creative minds come up with this year!
-
terrible... I am holding on by a thread. I hope next week is better!
-
I think it is important for anyone that is vomiting uncontrollably to get in to see their aftercare provider as soon as possible. Don't wait!

Wow! It was the bottom of your stomache? I have heard alot of things and have subsequently seen more than I think I should ever have, but I have never heard of the bottom of the stomache dying as a result of a prolapse. Generally it is the part of the stomache that migrates up into the esophogas or up into the band that suffers from necrosis due to the lack of blood supply. This is a pic of a prolapse. Just a regular prolapse that occured during a fit of wretching. No band on this patient.

Dr. Muse is who works with Fill Centers USA in Salt Lake City.
-
It is called a gastric prolapse with pouch necrosis. This is a very very rare complication. So sorry to hear about your troubles.
-
I may need to get with the times, retire the old VHS, and get a Tivo...
-
I'm also LDS but not banded. Inactive here. Live in Snowflake AZ and have a view of the Temple here out my back window.;..

Another boring show. I guess tonight I'll be watching UFC Fight Night Live! (was going to anyways but now I won't regret missing AI)
-
Well this show better pick up (Go Patriots!) or I'll have to find something else to watch on Tuesday and Wednesday nights!

You should be aware that the use of that Fluid in your band is not approved by Allergan/Inamed and will void any manufacturer warranty on the band. (may possibly have changed since I checked, try calling Allergan for clarification) I did speak with one of the top guys at Ethicon a few weeks ago and he did confirm using a radiopaque (Isovue, or Iopamidol) fluid with the REALIZE gastric band is normal outside the USA but mentioned it is not approved for that purpose in the USA.
-
Omnipaque is more viscous (thick) material which is also radiopaque. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any variation in the amount of Fluid as far as Omnipaque vs. Saline is concerned. (I may be wrong) As Wombat stated, it is thicker and thus has less of a tendancy to leak.
-
Well last night certainly wasn't as good as the first... Until the last guy!

That was pretty creepy but the lyrics were off the hook!
