when you take a bath, and drain the tub, but the water behind you doesn't drain until you get out of the tub. does that make sense?

I go to the one in woodfield mall. Since you live in chicago it's not to far of a trip. I don't think they have to many dressy things. I get all my jeans and t-shirts from torrid. Maybe you will have better luck at that one.

Torrid all the way for me. I used to shop at layne brynt but I felt It didn't really fit my taste. Although they have plenty of cute things. I prefer a funky edge to my clothes. For me Torrid has real upto date fashions and I love them. Can't just be the skinny chicks that get to wear todays fashions. If you never had a chance to check them out you should. they have some fun stuff.

I was sitting at the computer in the living room and my mom was watching t.v. I put on the head phone so I wouldn't bother her. I screamed so loud she jump straight up. that was soooooooooooooooooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She asked me "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING AT!!?????" I am still laughing

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you. Sounds like it was a good experience. hope mine goes the same way. I don't want to remember a thing. Feel better soon, and take it easy.

mine are raiders of the lost ark and bill clinton.

Wow! I am so excited and happy for you both. Great to hear you are back safe and sound and feeling pretty good. hope your feeling really good soon.

Where is she? Has anyone heard from candy? I am worried. Candy I hope you are doing better. lots of hugs.

Hi all, I am a new wannabe banster. I have the opportunity to get the band and I really want to. I have to admit I am a bit scared to do it. I have been reading these great posts and learning a lot. I am glad everyone has been really honest. I have read the good and bad and all in all everyone seems to have a great feeling about the band. I am scared that after I get this done I will never feel normal again. Can anyone tell me how long it took for them to feel back to normal? And is the pain excruciating? Also has anyone gone through dr. Horgan? Thanks everyone I know this is quite an order to fill.

I am glad you are feeling great. That first normal did not sound like fun. I meant more like pain and not being able to walk around with comfort. I also meant when I would be able to drink and swallow without pain. Just go about my day without feeling like something is inside me. you know where life just starts to happen in a natural way. does this make sense at all?

I am so sorry, breakups are so hard on the heart. I went through the same thing. I was with my boyfriend 10 years and we lived together 2 years. I just want you to know that things really do get better. and when you start to feel better is when things fall into place. you never know what the future holds, there is so many things that can happen. just see where time takes you. trust me things do get better. watch sex and the city, or anything about being single and fabulous. that helped me laugh and get through the sad thoughts.

WELCOME!!!! I am new and from IL. this board is so helpful. any questions I am sure you can find the answer here. I will be getting my band hopefully in january. a little scared but ready. Not looking foward to the two week liquids before surgery. I am glad you are healing well. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

thanks so much for all the help. now you guys will never get rid of me.

Thanks so much. I think the hardest thing will be to learn how to sip. Is that something you have to do forever? Because I guzzle my drinks down. I also feel there will be no suprises. I just want to live through this. Which I am sure I will. But there is always that little voice that says. It is a risk you have to take. By the way Margo a 2 is great. I hope I am the same on the pain scale.
