When the truth is inconvenient . . .
Whats a clothes iron!! hahahahahaha If I could I would like to have a clothesline and hang our clothes outside. The subdivision we live in will not let us have one. I love the smell of sheets that have been line dried in the sunny and snappin in the wind! I remember before my Mom got a dryer she had 3 clotheslines in the basement and hung all the clothes down there in the winter.

B-12 Deficiency Info
The nutritionist I saw last week said that B-6 or B-12 or all the B's hell, were instrumental in the health of your nervous system. Does that make sense, its late so I hope it does!

Can't Live Without It...
*My tweezers, I am a compulsive pluckaholic. I have gone on vacation without them and I just about went batty. *My husband, He is really a good guy, his Momma raised him well. *Sleep Number bed, stayed in a hotel after we got the Sleep Number and it was one of the worst nights of sleep I have ever had,felt like I was sleeping on a concrete slab. Anyone interested in getting one PM me I will send you a referral card. *Daily Newspaper, even on vacation I need to read one. *Fingernail clippers (clipaholic) *Ruby Stone nail file (fileaholic) Humm, do I have some issues?

A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?
I know the feeling. It will be nice to go shop for something and get what I want instead of just what is big enough. Congrats on your victory!

Can't Live Without It...
Has anyone bought one of those expensive Barista espresso machines like they sell at Starbucks? I am so tempted, but it's a lot of money. Do you use yours regularly, or is it too much hassle? My husband and I bought and tried one of those Senseo brand machines to make cappucino. We didnt like it.

Byetta anyone...
Thanks for all the responses. I have been taking the Byetta 6 days now. The first day when I injected it, I felt like I was having an out of body experience. Felt REALLY whacked out and VERY nauseous. Each day it has gotten a little better. I am only taking it in the am before breakfast because we get up so late. I know I should start taking it before dinner also, but that hast worked out. You cant take it less than 6 hr apart. And anyway I dreaded that feeling I got, but that has almost went away. It does make me very lethargic. I go back to the Dr tomorrow I will see if I have lost any weight. Thanks again everyone.

Byetta anyone...
I had never heard of it. I did use it today 1 time. Did make me nauseous, dizzy and extremely lethargic. Toward the evening I was feeling better. We went out to eat unexpectedly for dinner and I didnt get in the before dinner dose. I was noticeably less hungry. Probably because I was nauseous most of the day. But they say that goes away. Would you check with your Mom and see if she had any problems? Thanks for responding

Please Help!!!!!!!
Things between SMMC and UHC are still not resolved. I spoke with my surgeons office today and since things arent settled it is up to me if I want to go ahead. Insurance person their said they are going on with their OTHER patients with other insurance. UHC is my secondary but this surgeons office makes you pay whatever the insurance doesnt. My primary wont pay much at all. So I am in a real quandary. I started investigating lapband in April 2005, seminar 11-2005, insurance problem stopped everything 2-2006, new seminar this year now this. It makes me wonder if this is an omen and isnt for me.
