I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Patty. Preventing a man from going to church! Maybe he was going because he realized the errors he had made/attempted to make and wanted to change. Following him when he went to the bathroom...that all sounds ridiculous. If he wasn't wanted as part of the church than purhaps someone should have just said...you are not welcome here.

Wow...really sounds like you forgave him *rolls eyes*

I was SO scared of the fills!!! I hate needles. Sometimes they'll give you a little shot of lidocaine, but I didn't get that and honestly...it felt like I had lidocaine lol. It's pretty numb in that area from the scar tissue. You feel a little pinch, but nothing bad! This is coming from someone that cries everytime they get a shot lmao. I am a huge baby!!! It is so worth it! :thumbup:

Well MJ has always been compaired to Peter Pan...I mean come on his ranch is named "Neverland"...lol

I know that. To some of todays artists MJ is their "Idol"

That is pretty crazy, but I think they did something similar with James Brown...?

I have some peace, but the police weren't very helpful lol :thumbup:

I feel the same way about my abusers (yes I had more than one)...except I will cry...tears of joy that they finally got what the deserved! That I can finally sleep at night knowing that they wont be hurting anyone else like they hurt me! They took away my innocence and my childhood and they need to rot in hell for that! :thumbup:

G- I respect you and think you are a great person...a great person that I just happen to not share the same beliefs with :cursing: lol. I also feel the same way about these tributes. I would much rather watch what I want to watch and listen to what I'm in the mood to listen to! If I want to listen to MJ then I will, but don't force me to damn! lol I don't even watch much tv anyways, but now I watch even less. I was a fan of MJ, but I want to move on...let his family have some peace and then if you still feel like having a tribute in a year or something go ahead lol! A lot of people don't even know that Billy Mays died and at least he was a nice/good guy :thumbup:

Insuarance isn't the only way...my insuarance wasn't accepted at the place I had my surgery. I felt like I was doomed there was no way I culd get all that money up front. My husband doesn't make enough! So I got carecredit and make payments on it like a credit card....there are ways to get things done

She was refering to me in those posts...not you. I'm pretty sure you weren't complimenting her age when you said oh and by the way your the age of my mom. She was just pointing out that at the time the things with MJ were going on (in the 90s) you and I were still young and innocent...I don't think she was attacking you for your age, but you were clearly taking a shot at hers!

Also I'm pretty sure it was Chantel that took a stab at the age of someone...Can't we just keep this discussion civil lol!!! :tongue2:

The anesthsia stays with ya for a little while. I woke up fine from it, but was tired for the first couple of days, but I bounced back as it got all the way out of my system. I have had a few surgeries so I knew what to expect. It's not bad!

I haven't had any complications with the band. I have gained some weight back lately, but it was due to my own problems and had nothing to do with the band. I had gotten down to 192.4 and now I am back up to 207 :rolleyes2: it wasn't the fault of the band...it was just me. The only "problem" I had was when I went in for my first fill they had some trouble finding it and had to wiggle the needle around a little bit (doesn't really hurt, just felt weird) other than that things have been great!!!

She wasn't saying she knows more because of her age. She is saying that at the time that those things were in the news you were too young to understand/read them. The balcony incident wasn't during your "goo goo gah gah" days either. She didn't say you were a child now...she was refering to your age at the time...also I don't think we need to take shots at others age. My parents are in their fiftys and they do know more than me in some things...and some things (like computer stuff) I know more. Age has nothing to do with this argument (unless discussing that you weren't old enough at the time he was turning to "Wacko Jacko"). Let's not take stabs at peoples age...I mean come on..someday you're going to be old too :rolleyes2:

Hahaha...lol...I sure don't

I just had a quick question...Why is it okay for a rap star to grab his junk and tell people to suck it and whatnot, but Michael dances with his hand NEAR his crotch and people flip out?

WAY TO GO!!! I am so excited for you. Congrats for going to get the fill and seeing results! Keep it up!!!! Wooohooooo!!! lol

Band slipage and pouch stretching. If you over eat or have to vomit a lot from over filling your pounch you can stretch it and possibly cause a band slippage, which would cause reopperation! I hope that you are able to jump back in to the swing of things and get back on track! :thumbdown: You can do it!!!!! lol In the beginning your not so much trying to lose weight as you are just trying to heal! Make sure you follow your post op diet as much as possible to avoid damage to the band and/or your pouch! Good luck

It's definately not for everyone...it wasn't for me either lol.

Way to go!!! Be proud for taking these steps! They're bigs ones :thumbdown:. I am so excited for you and I hope that your journey to getting the band goes well! If you have any questions I'm always around Good luck and congrats again on taking the steps! I am close to your weight and what not. I was close to 300 (I'm 5'3'') right before my surgery I was at 253.6! It's worth it!

I had thought about it, but I didn't like the sounds of some of the side effects...anal leakage...no thank you! lol. I have heard great things about it from people though too...I just don't want the side effects :thumbdown:

I always carry the single serving packets of s.f kool aid and cystal light or packets of true lemon/lime/orange and order water...then I can mix my own drink :thumbdown: Like I said before though I have no straw restriction...everything I drink is through a straw lol

It seemed to me like he had body dismorphic disorder...he was a handsome man :thumbdown:

I can see how it upsets some of his fans, but I'm pretty sure his children aren't reading this...lol.
