Ohhhh, I love your pics. Thanx for sharing them. YOU look incredible!!!!!!! (has anyone ever told you that you have the most incredible eyebrows?)

Oooooo, it looks fun at your place!!!! Nice computers!!!!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!!!!

Glad your well, Lila!!! Fantastic weight loss!!! WTG!!!

Yeahhhhh JLB!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Congratulations, I'm sure you won't regret it!!! Dr. Cobourn is wonderful!!!!!

Gawwwwd, that sounds soooooo great!!!!! When do you leave??? C'mon Wheezy, info, info!!!!!

I'm from Ontario, so I can't help you with s doc, but as for banding, it was the best thing I ever done. For me it was a answer to a prayer. It has gliches along the road, like everything else, but I wouldnt part with my band for anything!!! I'm sure you'll hear more on this thread from others. Best of Luck in your decision!!

Bandiva, your doing just great!!!!! And ya, your being to hard on yourself, but you know that already!!! Enjoy the journey.

Speak for yourself Wheezy.........................nah, just joking. I have been more burpy. My husband will come up to me and tap me, and I belch, but he's getting use to it now. He says it's just part of foreplay..lol.

Oooooooooooo, where a you going???????? If postponing your fill felt like the right thing to do, then great, your band is yours for the journey, take one day at a time.

Good for you Wheezy!!! Are you coming down with your sister???

Sorry about your Gramma, Mandi. Yucky news. ------------------- Gaffer, holy crap, look at your ticker!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTG!!!

Can you take black marker and cross out 'lapband'? The worse that could happen is the gov calls you to confirm what kinda surgery it was. Then for fills, maybe right in check-up??? I dunno, I'm grasping for ya!!

Dame J, I hear ya. I still sometimes slip up, but it's less all the time. It is trial and error. This is going to sound gross, but I find that if I chew like crazy(ok the gross part) and then kinda mix up saliva in my mouth to get a more mushy texture before I swallow, that helps. It sounds so gross, but it can be done discretely, and nobody notices. Sorry if I grossed anyone out.

Hey, I just reread this........."OLD FART", who you calling a 'old fart'!!!! LOL BTW, Wheezy, never give up alcohol, .....Cheers:beer: .

Well, this thread has proven interesting so far. Doddie, honestly, I had no intention of exclusion. I just don't have an hour of time anymore to go through 10-20 threads everyday(I'd like too, but can't) I need to pick and choose which ones to visit, I was only trying to save time. You have as much right to visit any threads, as anyone else here. Please feel welcome. Your ARE welcome. Nuff said!

Ya, Down with Bell!!! It's funny, I use to get these courtesy calls every few months, telling what a wonderful valuable customer I was, (I have 4 cell phones, 2 land lines, and 2 bell satellites), ever since this incident, which was before Christmas, not a single call. Cause you know if and when they ever call.......THEY ARE GONNA HEAR ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you actually have to show her the info with what you had? Can you not just take her something that says medical expense $15,000. And if she asks, which she shouldn't, but if she does just say it's personal. I'm not exactly sure about the forms your referring to but can you just write or say 'Medical Expenses' and leave it at that.

Congrats on your surgery date!!! Crosby, Cobourn and Mumford, lol, sounds like a rock band!

Only a reporter who weighs 300 lbs, or has weighed 300 lbs should write a article on weight loss surgery, otherwise, blah, blah, blah. I would be interesting if a study could have been done on what would happen to the same 32 people had they NOT got the surgery. Heart attack, stroke, diabetes.......??????? If this country is going to keep allowing companys to produce sugar-laced drinks, lunch-sized chocolate bars and chips disguised as childrens Snacks, 5 drive-thru's on every city block, vending machines in schools, commercials for crap food claiming it is PART of a complete meal, etc, etc......then they had better get use to the line-ups of people waiting for weight loss surgery. We can't have one without the other. The rest of the world should shut-up if they don't know what it's like to to overweight, some metalbolisms can take it, most can't!!

Ohhhh, Maria, I'm late....' :happybday: :note2: :note2:Happy Birthday to you :note2: :note2: :note2: :note2: Happy Birthday to you :note2: :note2: :note2: :note2:Happy Birthday dear Mariaaaaa :note2: :note2: :note2: :note2: Happy Birthday to yooooooou :note2: :note2: :note2: ........and many mooooore :note2:

Doddie, like Yoda says, this is the same as any other thread, all are welcome. There was just a handful of us that all started our own threads just so that there would BE threads at this site. Ex: Maria's memos etc..I just thought it would be easier to have general conversation on ONE thread as opposed to 6-10. Thats all!! Wheezy, maybe just a smidgeon fill will help you. And yes my band is very weird (like me), one day hardly anything, the next alot. Oh, for those of you that have been following my saga...lol.... my eldest daughter is moving back this week. Apparently, life is tough out there. In case any of you guys did'nt know that.lol.

Thanks everyone. Wheezy, I've been squeaky!! I have even FINALLY figured out a way to get through the maze and reach a supervisor. The problem is, the supervisor never answers and you always get there voice mail. So I have left 6 messages asking for them to call me, they never do. I'm pissed. I am locked into a plan until July 2009!!!!!! They will give me $200.00 towards a new phone but then I have to sign up for another 3 years. SCREW THAT!!! BTW, my plan is for 4 phones, so it's not like just a couple of dollars. I hate them!!!! Oh, that felt better:) . I feel a couple pounds lighter getting that off my chest!

This is gonna sound stupid, but does anyone have a old bell cell phone they want to get rid of cheap???? I'm locked into a STUPID bell plan that I'm paying for but the STUPID phone they gave me broke and they wont replace it!!!! So if I can find another bell compatable phone cheap, I can transfer the number and finish out the plan. THEN LEAVE BELL!!!! Can anyone help??

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....to much pressure:boom: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
