Hi everyone, I just learned a very hard and valuable lesson today. Both newbies and old timers can take with them. I have now been banded for 10 months and down 63lbs.

I met a girlfriend today for lunch. I work in mid town manhatten. The resteraunt we chose just happen to be closed.. so we said oh well ranch one is right here. Well I ordered chicken tenders came with fries.. I don't do fries to often being they do not agree with me. Anyway I had maybe 3 fries and 2 bites of chicken when I felt the pain in my chest.. I put my food down and tried to let it pass.. It was getting worse.. I got up to use the restroom(I was in so much pain) PB was the only alternitive. WELL and here is the lesson, they did not have a rest room.. I started to panic it was getting worse.. my eyes were now tearing.. I saw A roy rogers across the street, I went in there and again no bathroom.. TGFidays was next door.. so I said ok let me go in there.. well I did not make it.. I PB right on the Manhatten Streets.. It was terriable and embaressing. The moral of the story is always make sure you have a rest room before you eat , cause you just never know when it will hit.

:laugh This is pretty interesting.... Lets hear more...

Wow, Leatha, noone knows where Zephyr Tx is.. I am impressed. Do you live far away now?
