OMG I think I slipped my band with the mental upchuck..thanks alot hahaha

Yes I have heard of that and seen it before. A woman was treated in the ER of the hospital I worked in, she had neyrictstucercisis of her brain, Come to find out she had gone to Mexico to have a tapeworm so she could lose weight. It resulted in holes in her brain and she died 4 days after entering the ICU. Insanity is all I can say.

OMG!

just.....wow

tape worm treatment. I saw a news article on TV or it might have been "The Doctors" show. They showed an actual tape worm. Seems this is popular in Japan. When people comment negatively about my lap band I just tell them it was my choice and if they don't like it they can "kiss my lap band!" Then I show them where it is located. Have not taken off my shirt yet, but my do that in another 30 pounds.
