Just curious, if turning your body can kink the tubing with the band, then why would somone what to continue with this. All i see is people complaining that the port detached, the port is facing the wrong way, the tubing is kinked...if it is inside of you why wouldn't you ask for it to be tacted into place? Is it even possible? That would make me nervous if my own normal movements could cause such a problem

Hello all;....my name is lauren cannon, i am the proud owner of a mastiff named titan who we show in the show ring...i am sooo excited that i had to do a quick brag. I handle titan myself, i get comments on how horrible i do and whatnot...just because i have only been doing this for 6 months. WELL.... Today we had a dog show, and we beat the #2 mastiff in the country!!!! We ended up with the best of winners dog...we are very excited. If anyone knows anything about dog shows, they will understand the politics of things, and being a newbie....it is almost impossible to win with all the Pro's. I beat the PRO's!!!!! I am so excited..ok that is it!

more pics of my dogs

The white dog is our great dane, long sob story about her. She is deaf and night blind too, the sweetest dog anyone will ever meet. She is better trained than any hearing dog! Her name is Jazmine. The cat..well...she is a pain in the fanny, her name is crystal. Titan (mastiff) and Crystal used to be best friends, when titan was little he used to carry the kitten around in his mouth gently....then he wasn't gentle any more..lol. But kitty now loves the big white dog...jazmine.

He definitly is a wet mouth...you know...i thought drool was horrible..but...wait until your dog gets kennel cough. I love the drool....the boogers are SO MUCH WORSE!!!

Thank you...he is a goof ball!! he goes through the zoomies...and runs in circles...he is sooo funny. I also have a great dane and a belgian malinois too...the belgian was originally boarding with me, then the owners called me last month and asked me to euthanize her because they didn't want her any more!!!! So we kept her too....we also have 4 ferrets, and a cat...and right now we have 3 other dogs boarding with us...so we are crazy with dogs right now!!! We have a cockapoo...jack russel mix, and a shar pei pup too. So we have 6 dogs at our house!!!

in this picture he weighs 170 and is 32 inches at the shoulders..he looks taller because he is on a stand...

here he is 9 months old...right now he is 14...i will find a new one, might take me a while though! Titan Hoosier Daddy

He is only 14 months right now, so he has a lot more to grow, but as of today he weighs in at 190 too! He got sick this weekend and lost 15 pounds!! He didn't eat one thing, and vomited a lot too. I felt horrible, although he loves the ring, so we went anyway! he is also 35 inches tall too

So i guess we are the Smashing Pumpkins! I like that as do many of you! SO....Welcome Smashing pumpkins! We are a group that is determined to smash the pumpkins that we hold in ourselves in all shapes and sizes. We will become the oriental pumpkins soon enough!!! I can't wait to have mine done! I am reading a lot of things on here that are making me second guess...such as a flipping of ports or other complications. Are they really that common?

the bankins?

LOL the banded pumkins!! LOL.... don't take offence... i think it is funny!

hmmm...what to call us....hmm....

my dr. told me to eat at least 75g of protein per a day. find things before surgury that you can have that are super high in protein. but my question is, won't this kill your kidneys? I know that too high protein can lead to kidney failure...although that might just be in pets@! (sorry dog trainer here)

are there any people from framingham on here? I would love to get together and walk or something!!

i called them yesterday and they told me it would be 1000.00, anything over that is free for me, but i need to pay 1000

hello i was wondering if anyone has had surgury with them as your insurer. I was wondering what the co-pay is for it. Some places i have seen says $250...others i don't know. Anyone know?

my dr never said anything about a test or quiz or anything at all. he said that i just need to start going to the meetings

My parents told me a long time ago, that when i loose my weight to target goal (they never said how) that they would help me get boobs. My whole family (2 other sisters and mom) are all well...well endowed. Then there is me...NOTHING. SO...once my bug bites go away,hopefully they will follow through...which i know they will (after all for my wedding last august 25 they got me a hummerzine!! my childhood dream!)

I did talk to my dr. and we have been..well ...i have been waiting for a year to have bcbs approve my hospital to do LBS. (which has been approved, in june although the dr. had been doing it for years at his other office) (oh that is funny...lap band surgury....pounds (LBS)...sorry it is late) So you are saying that it depends on the company he works for? I know that we pay up the wazoo for my insurence. The company pays for his. We pay 100 a week for mine..well ok 85 a week for mine (feels like 100). So if we pay all that...then that means it is justified right? lol...jk. Ok...should i talk to the people at his work then? or what?

you know..that is kinda scarry for me because all of the symptoms that you claimed are apart of it...describes me. That is kinda scarry. How do they test for it?

my dr. told me to go on a liquid diet 2 weeks before surgury because it helps shrink the fat on the liver. The less fat on the liver or surounding area means less chance of any other issues. At least that is what i was told

i can call them tommorow...perhaps i will call the dr. first, to see if any news. How long does it take for the insu. to get back to see if you are approved?

um...i think that there are 30-40 people who work there...maybe a little more.

yeah...my husband put me on his insurence...he has had this ins. for 9 years. So i don't know. Although if i call could they tell me? i mean on my ins. card it says office visit 25 er 100 and medical health 25 that is it.
