About freaking time!!!---first fill
I finally had that fill! It is about freaking time dude. I finally feel like a REAL bandster. I had some Fluid around my port that he had to drain. Did anyone else experience this? If not I am going to check the general discussion area. My Doctor said it wasn't a big deal, but I want to know what it was. Back to Clear liquids for two days. :-) Yay

dad forces pot on toddler
Here! Here! But how can you stop them? I cringe when I think about some of the parents I met being in control of an innocent, impressionable life.

Anyone heard about Ben Stein's new movie Expelled?
In newscience magazine they talk about this movie. They said that it is a movie about "Intelligent Design" and how trying to stop it from being taught in school is akin to the holocaust. Supposedly it uses strong emotions rather than facts to get the point across. I am not too excited about this movie, I believe in God and have a strong relationship with him, but evolution isn't something I can be swayed on. It happened. Ben STein is a very intelligent man, however. The movie should be very interesting and smart for those who choose to go. I hope you enjoy it.

I agree Fairy. It can tramatize you. What you have to do is get over it and move on. Oh but it was so hard when I was younger.

In need of encouragement.
To me it sounds like you are doing great. Sometimes our bodies just don't participate in our plans. I wish you the best.

Do you like the new look of LapbandTalk? I don't.
I'm with you MollyMolly. I kind of like the old way better...but as long as they are not charging me I love this site no matter what they update. Oh, but the new lady at the top- beautiful and inspiring.

Serious Question
Does anyone else still feel twinges when they bend over or lay on their sides? I do. I was banded late in the month but I thought by now I wouldn't be able to feel it. I am scared their is something wrong, but I just wanted to know if this normal. :confused2: I haven't said anything until now but I need to know something before I go to the Dr. tomorrow.

Flying, Weight and Discrimination...
This is true...my business, my rules. Then again, you have to treat your customers or clients with respect to get repeat business and That is how you make a profit. Unless your say the electric company or I guess the IRS. If all the airlines treated everyone like crap, then people would drive a whole lot more. If cars were way to expensive to afford (which sometimes they seem like they are getting that way) then I guess I would learn to ride a bike again. I would lose a LOT of weight that way since I live in Louisiana and everything is so spread out. After a month I could probablee fit into one of those airplane seats.

Thats exciting. I work at a car dealership. You handle the skies...I got the land covered. :confused:- Flying, Weight and Discrimination...
thanks snuffy.- Flying, Weight and Discrimination...
Should overweight people pay extra? Canada says no. - Gadling I found this. Just another article. I came into this debate with my mind made up. I shouldn't have to pay for another seat...but I am not so sure now. I guess I'm on the fence.- Should Medicare/Medicaid cover the band?
You know I answered no...but I think I would like to change my vote to yes. I am self-pay. I work hard, but insurance won't cover it. I guess I am just a little tired of people who don't work getting better health care than me. I usually don't think that way I am just being negative today. Medicare should pay for lap-band, but maybe not gastric bypass. It will save money in the long run after all, and people deserve to be healthy. I was just being jealous because noone or nothing would pay for my band.- How Much?
thanks. Hes a really big guy. I think that he sees me as a test subject. OR maybe he is too scared of the surgery and wants me to fail. Either way I wish he would get off my back.- Flying, Weight and Discrimination...
Why do you feel the need to put most of your points with exclamation marks and it seems that you talk down to people. I would listen to you a lot more if you made your points with less bulliness. Maybe I am wrong. I can't hear your tone of voice, so excuse me if I am speaking out of turn. LosingJustMe- That is crazy expensive for fuel. You work for an airline?- What food gets stuck the most?
Chicken nuggets. I can eat chicken breast, chicken strips, chicken soup...but chicken nuggets get stuck in my chest and I feel like I can't breathe. - Flying, Weight and Discrimination...
