  1. Excellent! And down 12 lbs in less than a month?
  2. I actually have never swallowed barium myself, but I do know they have different flavors available now.
  3. Inamed currently has 5 different band sizes. I will place the max fill volume next to each size for your reference. 9.75cm - 4cc 10cm - 4cc VG (VanGuard) 10cc APS - 10cc APL - 14cc
  4. That is why I have mixed feelings on this device. I know that if you ahve a pacemaker, you won't be eligible for this device because they are also adjusted telemetrically. While it does have a similar anatomy to current bands, from what I understand there isn't really a part to inflate/deflate, it will be adjusted similar to a hose clamp, with a twisting mechanism in the interior of the band clasp.
  5. Country girl jangled my nerves last week when she ruined Journey...
  6. I have been watching this product for some time. It seems very interesting... I have mixed views of the device.
  7. lol, dangit that doesn't make any sense... I like the young David and the rocker David. The stripper David I'm not fond of. So 2 out of 3 Davids I like.
  8. I have 4 favs this year... Carly, Brooke, and the 2 Davids.
  9. Poor lady at the top is probably a member who is afraid to post because everyone is ripping her a new one about that damn appple... lol Maybe if we named her it would make everyone feel better about her presence. I vote for Gwendolyn.
  10. Well, I'm not extremely impressed this year. I thought the best part of this years performances is when Blake came on to do his new song. It reminded me of how good (Sanjaya aside) last year was... I'm not seeing the meat behind the claims that this is the most talented year ever. Did ya'll hear Sanjaya is doing the bar mitzvah scene?
  11. Go see your doctor immediately.
  12. I'm not worried about a location that will accept patients in vegas... we already have one. I'm just looking for people from all over the country who would like to join us for a fun, educational bandster bash in Sin City!
  13. OK... This is getting serious. If everyone wouldn't mind kinda getting the word out to see ballpark how many would be interested in the Las Vegas event, I am looking at hotels and conference rooms.
  14. Look at this chart. It may help.
  15. The only thing I have heard that sparks my interest from Huckabee is removing the IRS. I am for McCain now, but don't like his stance on illegals. There is no chance for me to vote for a Dem, so the other two are out of the question.
  16. I agree - it is getting better.
  17. OK - I am getting ready to do a cost analysis in effort to see if this can be accomplished without breaking the bank.
  18. Did I mention that Camelot was terrible? Lou DIamond Phillips is as bad on the big screen as he is on stage!
  19. 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
  20. 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.
  21. That is AWESOME news! Let us know how things progress!
  22. 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!
  23. It is an awesome thing to wake up to in the morning. It sits on our 27 hole golf course here.
