so Jachut did anyone ever mention what was the predisposition for erosion happening?

you're killin me! thanks for the reply and ps-cute kitty pix.

Hey munchkin-so sorry about all of your troubles, but, sometimes (like Oprah says) you get a whisper (from God)......I would take that as a NEON SIGN

Is the goal to reach your weight and then have your band unfilled? I may have misunderstood, but I went for a pre-op consultation this w/e and mentioned 2 stories about persons not seeing doc for a year and then gaining weight + back, and asked doc what the end result should be, and am I then married to him and fills forever? He said the idea is to get to goal and eventually unfill to dodge erosion issues, which makes sense except that (as a friend pointed out) then your band would be loose and want to slip.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm? What were you told the end result should be and are you married to your doc forever?

FYI- Derrick- you should get out more often. We have extensive back country here and even DEER, yes DEER. We also have cougar coyote bobcat raccoon skunk birds bees etc. Perhaps you could evolve into a less shallow human being and realize that the post was about thousands and thousands of persons really suffering physically and emotionally, who woke up at a parking lot this morning without a home, people who are concerned about others before themselves. Those people consist of a very diverse group of immigrants and native Californians. All here with open arms. We evolve, we co-exist, we support each other. Do we have jerky people here,too? You bet! So evolve. It takes very little effort to be small minded. and FYI we don't call it Cali.

DerickM uummmmmmmmmmmm..why would I want to move to Oregon again???? For the rain perhaps? or the gloom? Or the make-believe poets? Or the left-over grunge scene? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

lindaa- I am in the heart of the wildfires and your son is safe in Pasadena. The smoke has probably not even reached him. As of today there have been appx 350,000 acres burned and 500.000 persons displaced into high schools, churches, mall parking lots and the Qualcomm Stadium. I brought $200 groceries to a parking lot full of people and was surprised to see how effective San Diegan charity is already...they had plenty and were using a "sharing" system between "camps". Pray for those who lost their homes and for all of the living things that take decades to come back, and count your blessings. Peace Out
