How does it feel with the port under your skin?
I sure feel my port...but my surgery weight was 182=was under BMI of 35. The first 2 weeks after surgery I had some port pain but now it just kinda feels like a 9volt battery right under the skin. My kids said it feels gross- but its my reminder of what used to be and what is just ahead for me! BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!

Why not admit to surgery...
I dont mind if anyone knows....when we go out to eat the server will ask what I want to drink and when I say nothing they ALWAYS keep asking me so I tell them that I had WWS and cant eat and drink at the same time!

Ok, need some encouragement....
I agree with Tropicaljill It would be something that is best for no one but YOU~ your the only person who can say whats best. We all have tried many-many diets only to get bigger and bigger. It would be nice if others could walk a mile in our shoes wouldn't it. For me I feel like I added 15 years to my life...and have had the band for only 2 months! I started out 5-4 and at a weight of 202. I am now down to 174 and feel great-I would do it over in a minute! Best of luck to you please feel free to pm me if you would like to talk!

R U a NASCAR Fan...Let's Talk!
Did you all see.....FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 5) - An unidentified crewman for Scott Riggs' team knocked driver Kevin Harvick, his wife and a NASCAR official to the ground on pit road minutes after the Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday.It was apparently in retaliation for an incident late in the race. Harvick was close behind Riggs when the latter crashed while running third on lap 332 of the 339-race event. It appeared Harvick's car took the air off the rear deck of Riggs' car and Riggs was unable to maintain control. Jan McCormick Jr., a public relations representative for Harvick, said Kevin and DeLana Harvick were walking to the infield media center for a postrace interview when two Riggs crewmen made several comments to them. "They were just talking a little smack, which is normal, and then one of them came up and gave Kevin a push in the back," McCormick said. "Kevin fell into DeLana and she fell into a NASCAR official and all three of them fell to the ground." He said the men ran away but Mike Dillon, competitive director for Richard Childress Racing, which fields Harvick's car, went after them and took the man who pushed Harvick to the NASCAR hauler. The Harvicks were not injured, but the NASCAR official, identified as John Sacco, was taken to the infield medical center with what was reported to be a sprained ankle. "Those guys decided they wanted to take matters into their own hands and trip my wife in front of their pit box," Harvick said. "That's a little bit unnecessary, so we're not too happy about that."
