  1. Screw Bob. Don't let him get to you. I swear sometimes it's hard to know if some people are really idiots or just plain stupid and inconsiderate. I too have a racist (???) co-worker. I just ignore the comments and go about my business. He is not worth the time of day. Good Luck!
  2. Good Luck on your Lapband journey.

    Way to go Leslie2. Good job. Hopefully the people this thread pertains to will realize who they are.
  4. Leticia, Sorry this is happening to you..(((HUGS))). Good Luck!!! Let us know what happens.
  5. Call you Dr's office and find out!
  6. C'mon are you kidding???? You don't even know what's causing the problem and you already want to get rid of the band? You haven't even started on your journey.
  7. Glad your son is home safe and sound. Now imagine all the heartache and suffering the Iraqi's are facing during this war as well. It's not our war. May God bless all the soldiers and suffering children and families in Iraq.
  8. My third fill took 2 weeks to kick in. I had it done Dec 18, 2007 and it's still working. Good Luck!!!
  9. Abby, Stop and think about the real reason you are having this surgery. You really need to be serious. The band is a tool. It will not work on it's own. Yes, there are frustrations that go along with the band, but there are also triumphs. Good Luck!
  10. I hope they find out what is causing the problems for your mom. Good Luck!
  11. I agree with Laurinda. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Good Luck!
  12. Hang in there gone 4 ever. You can do this. Keep up the good work. Yes, it was hard but it is well worth the efforts. Good Luck!!!
  13. You are in my thoughts and prayers! Good Luck!!!!
  14. Usually, anything you want to ask will be covered. The surgeon will advise on everything that is needed and what will need to be done. Good Luck on your lapband journey!
  15. I also have UHC Choice plus and from the time my Dr submitted my paperwork, had all the tests done... it took a bout a month. Good Luck on your lapband journey!
  16. WOW!!! Great ideas. I can't wait to try them. I want to make him feel as wanted and special as he makes me feel. With hubby # 1 it was just wham bam (not even a thank you maam).
  17. Tai68, My EKG came up abnormal and I had to go to a cardiologist. It's standard procedure. Once the cardiologist looked at my results, he asked what was I doing there. He told me that technicians tend to read the results a little backwards. Don't worry, wait until the results come in. Good Luck!!!
  18. Salam, Salaam Alaikum! Be patient you will soon be able to transition into the mushy phase and then the solid phase. When did your Dr say you could start the mushie stage?
  19. Hi Everyone, My name is Gloria. I have only had sex with two men. My first husband to whom I was married to for 26 yrs and my new husband to whom I have been married to for 1 1/2 yrs. I was brought up in a very strict Mexican tradition where the woman does not ask for she wants in the bedroom. Well..now that I am of age of course and since I have lost weight, I feel like a part of me wants to be set free in the bedroom. I enjoy having sex with my new husband, and I want to learn to be the initiator. He has asked me "Why is he always the one to start things off". Honestly, I was never taught and I feel embarrassed. I want to surprise him and I need ideas. The one thing I can say that I have hated see go with my weight loss are my breast. I feel that by me being more aggressive in the bedroom will not only help me with my self-esteem but will bring us even closer. So...any suggestions or ideas are welcomed from both MEN and women. Thanks.
  20. I stayed in a marriage for 26 yrs because of my boys and because I thought my ex would change. After the first time he cheated on me I should of left, but I didn't. It wasn't until I finally realized he never really loved me because then he never would have cheated me. How do you do something like that to someone you love? I am now remarried to a wonderful man who not only respects me but listens to me. I did forgive my ex husband for the affairs he had, but I never forgot. Though you two are going through counseling, just remember, that he is is the one with the problem. Once satisfaction I did when I found out about the last affair in 1987...I let all my anger out and practically beat the shit out of him. That was the day I stopped loving him and he knoew it. Good luck!!!My thoughts and prayers are with you!!
  21. You need to be positive. Stop worrying about what you won't be able to eat anymore and start caring about your overall health. This surgery is a life changing decision. The band is tool that you have work with. Get the fill and start from there. Good Luck!
  22. CoachCher, My husband and I will will attend. Please count us in. I live inRichardson, TX so no need for a hotel. Keep us posted.
  23. I used Dr Stephen Hamn. Both Dr. Hamn and Dr. Cribbins are highly recommended. Good Luck on you search!
