I have Tricare and am stationed at Fort Belvoir, VA! I have no idea where to go for my fill but I am desperately in need of one!

My husband is stationed in Fort, Belvoir VA...who do you go to for fills. my general dr wants to send me to general surgery, but I feel that is a waste of time...I really really need a fill!

So...if a Christian Terrorist did something horrific in the US that killed a lot of people would it be upsetting if there was a christian church close by? I have no problem with it. It's not ON the site it's NEAR it. My husband was a 50 cal gunner and to be excited by what it does to someone is disgusting. When we act like this it makes us no better than those we hate. You can't attack a whole religion because of the acts of some terrorists that happen to follow that religion. Not all of them are nut jobs. Have an open mind.

I was banded in 2008. I was 253lbs. I got to 204 and got pregnant. I had to get unfilled but continued to lose. The day I delivered I was 168 and I got down to 160. (2010) I got 2 fills after I stopped breast feeding my daughter. I am now back up to 243!!! I don't know what to do. I'm having such a hard time. I'm not making the best choices food wise (all the time), but I really am trying. I hate myself for letting it all come back. Please...any advice, meal/snack ideas? Anything...seriously! Thank you all so much!

Thank you thank you...I do try :tt1:

Well...I don't really know what to say. I know it is a rhetorical question, and I am very glad to see you say you would be compassionate to someone if they had an abortion in a rape situation. I too agree that lack of compassion is in order for those who abuse this procedure as a means of birth control. However, I find it so difficult to believe that any woman could even fathom carrying the product of a brutal rape. I know it has happened before, but it just blows my mind...that is why I am so thankful that we have legalized abortions. I would hate to know that someone I loved, who had been impregnated by a rape (or worse, incest), would have to carry the infant to term and be reminded on a daily basis for the REST of her life, of the brutality. Makes me shudder to think about it...makes me awfully sad to know that there have been those who have endured this...makes me wonder what happened to the children. If the woman opted to keep the child, wouldn't she at some point have to tell? Gosh...what a horrible thought.

That being said, your answer seems a little "Polly-Annaish" if you will, to me. Yes, in a perfect world, there should not be abortion. But in our world, how many times have unwanted pregnancies resulted in sheer tragedy and heartache? I worked at Texas Children's Hospital years ago and I saw my fair share of horrific abuse to children. No, I'm not saying that all unwanted or unplanned children or abused, but some are.

It is the individual that sanctifies the idea of "life" ...cancer cells are "living", but you don't see anyone trying to "save the cancer". Look, all I am trying to say is IMO, abortion SHOULD be legal. IMO, NO ONE, has a right to tell a woman that she HAS to carry a pregnancy to term...NO ONE...(and fyi, I have never been raped or had an abortion)

Peace Out!

T~:hippie:

I believe this posted was just trying to express how they couldn't imagine doing it...I don't think they are saying anything negative towards the women that do carry just that they couldn't imagine doing it. And yes it is amazing that you did, but not all women are in a place to do that. There is no way I could have carried mine...and I don't think it would have been right for someone to have forced me to carry that baby. I do not regret my abortion and I know I never will. In fact if anything it empowered me to be the woman and mother that I am today.

lol...Also fetuses don't whither and groan in agony while aborted....egh just another prolife lie to make your arguement for you.

A fetus is a human in the making...do we have tails? Do we have flippers? No...You are demanding people not destroy cells that are "living", but not yet alive. When you are dead the blood has to be drained from your body. Are you a vegetarian...animals have blood. Have you killed a bug...they have blood. A lot of things have blood....that doesn't make them illegal to "kill". This is like trying to destroy skin cells or hair folicles...you are making this a religious issure because otherwise you would have no way to argue your side. You hide behind your God and you wrap him around you like a little protective coat, but you just end up looking like you're wrapped in a straight jacket...sorry, but that's how I feel. I do not press my beliefs on people at all...if you want to believe in your god that's great, but don't attempt to make me feel/look like a bad person because I don't.

So God can take the lives of his "children" because he created them...sooooo a man and a woman being the creator of their own children can also take their lives...? This is why I can't stomach the thought of your spiteful, inconsistant God...I can't believe in someone who can allow so much destruction and evil in the world...it's sad and disgusting

Those laws aren't laws just because of what your God said. In God's days they also said if someone stole it was ok to cut off their hand...or that it was ok to stone someone or kill all the first born...why is it ok for God to take the lives of babies and children and fetuses, but we can't make that choice...this is exactly why I cannot buy into the words of the Bible...it's just ridiculous!

You are an exception. Not very many girls are 7 when they get their periods. They are much older and more developed. This is from womens'health.gov:

When does a girl usually get her first period?

In the United States, the average age for a girl to get her first period is 12. This does not mean that all girls start at the same age. A girl can start her period anytime between the ages of 8 and 15. Most of the time, the first period starts about 2 years after breasts first start to develop. If a girl has not had her first period by age 15, or if it has been more than 2 to 3 years since breast growth started, she should see a doctor.

So, you see, you are not even on their list of being acceptable for a girl to have her period.(age 7) Therefore, it was very unusual for such a thing to happen. But it did, so if your doctor said that you would not be able to carry a baby or deliver it without dying, then having an abortion would have been the best thing for you to do to save your life.

So in your eyes since god believes a child is able to have birth then does that make it ok for a man to have sex with a child?

It is not okay for a man to have sex with a child. Men should not have sex with anyone except their wife. If they are married at age 13, then, yes, it is okay to have sex together. They are husband and wife. People in other countries and cultures get married at an age that Americans would call "child". Americans made the age limit for being an adult "18". God made the age limit at the time a girl gets her menstrual cycle and a boy goes through puberty. Then they become women and men. Before that, they are children.

Kind of looks like you brought up the topic of marraige...

I guess I realize why no one else is willing to get sucked into your religious vomit. I am so tired of you turning everything around. I was just responding to things you said. I'm not willing to go further into this conversation about marraige because we don't share the same views and you are not willing to listen to others. It does not say that the youngest reported is 8...I got this quote from more than one website: usually starting between the ages of 8 and 13. All About Menstruation

Monthly periods begin when a girl reaches puberty around age 10 to 14. It can happen a little earlier or later depending on the individual. Menstruation | Faze Health

The difference between you and I is that you are willing to change words and see what isn't there...I post it exactly as I read it. It says nothing about 8 being the youngest reported in fact....the youngest was even younger than I was! snopes.com: Youngest Mother

I have no interest in getting into a discussion about marraige with you. It did not say that the were only accounts of a period starting at age 8...it says they will USUALLY get their first persiod between the ages of 8 and 12

You are an exception. Not very many girls are 7 when they get their periods. They are much older and more developed. This is from womens'health.gov:

When does a girl usually get her first period?

If a girl has not had her first period by age 15, or if it has been more than 2 to 3 years since breast growth started, she should see a doctor.

WOW. Other's start around the age of 8...damn that really is much older and much more developed. lol. Girls are starting earlier and earlier.

So, you see, you are not even on their list of being acceptable for a girl to have her period.(age 7) Therefore, it was very unusual for such a thing to happen. But it did, so if your doctor said that you would not be able to carry a baby or deliver it without dying, then having an abortion would have been the best thing for you to do to save your life.

So for me to start a year early is not acceptable....way to judge. And let me tell you it is not that unusual for a girl to start young...also there isn't that much of a difference between 7 and 8.

So in your eyes since god believes a child is able to have birth then does that make it ok for a man to have sex with a child?

It is not okay for a man to have sex with a child. Men should not have sex with anyone except their wife. If they are married at age 13, then, yes, it is okay to have sex together.

God made the age limit at the time a girl gets her menstrual cycle and a boy goes through puberty. Then they become women and men. Before that, they are children.

That is exactly why the divorce rate is so high in the US. Do you really think a 13 year okd is ready for marraige? Aso if you do your research most of the young girls getting married in other countries/cultures are doing so against their CHOICE! Most are arranged weddings and they don't believe in your god...so I don't get the comparrison.

I was 7 when I started my period...so in God's eyes I was ready to carry and deliver a baby? Also on a more personal note I cannot have my tubes tied. I have 4 disorders that cause my blood to over clot and my OB has refused to do anymore operations on me. So in your eyes since god believes a child is able to have birth then does that make it ok for a man to have sex with a child?

I feel that if women get pregnant, then they should be forced to carry the baby till it is born, unless if by doing so, the woman's life is in danger.

We have laws about murder in this world, and they are there to protect the innocent. An unborn baby is an innocent.

Exactly why abortions are legal...to protect the innocent child carrying the infant!

How is a pregnancy detrimental to your well being?

What are you talking about when you say it's not okay when they kill in the name of god?

How is a a baby invading your body? Is the baby intentionally trying to harm you in some way?

If I get pregnant again having a baby will kill me! Just carrying another baby could kill me...that seems pretty detrimental if you ask me. I meant why is it ok to kill in the name of God. Just because the harm isn't intentional doesn't mean it's ok. A fetus is a parasite...living off of the woman's body...that sounds like invading to me. So if the harm isn't intentional it's okay...."Sorry maam I didn't mean to slam into your child with my car as you both j walked...Sorry I didn't intentionally kill her" "Oh don't worry about it....as long as you didn't mean to it's ok"...come on now!

Why is it murder and a sin when someone "kills" for their own wellbeing, but not okay when they kill in the name of god? Also why should it be okay to kill someone who invades your home, but not okay to kill something that invades your body?

Amen to that!

What does this Barium stuff taste like and feel like....how much of it do you have to drink? I'm sorry for all the questions. I have a bad problem with anxiety and not knowing exactly what to expect makes it worse!

I have to have an upper GI tomorrow and have never had one before....can anyone describe it to me and tell me what I can expect? Thank you.

According to a few Christians and other religious people I have spoken too they have told me that my husband will in no way be allowed in heaven and that there is a special place in hell for him. That really hurt my husband and they told him when he dies he will never see me or our kids again because we wont be joining him in hell..that whole thing made me cry because my husband is an amazing man and even though in most cases he is prolife he would do what was neccessary to save a life...a real living breathing thinking life. I wish more people could be like my husband!

Ummm...it's a Jackson Pratt drain? I would def. call your surgeon. Also...have you ever had a JP drain removed? Congrats on your surgery! How was the removal of the other drains?

Yeah. You can get pregnant right away after going off BC. I always did Congrats!

Awwww congrats! My daughter was born 2/10/10 lol :smile2: Good luck with your pregnancy!!!
