....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

justapostin...

I did just what you said SickNTired. I told them that I think I will do well in their store, and that I have faced a tougher job (training staff, and promotions **puke**) and survived, that I would be a fab addition to their company, despite having been at home caring for my late FIL, and my son for the last 4 years. That I was just the best there was, and that they wont find better sort of thing.

And I got the job. Just got the call. I start in 2 weeks

OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!! This is, by far, the best news I've gotten all day!!! I am beyond thrilled for you!:rolleyes2:

((((((((Chickie)))))))) long distance hug for you! Congrats!

I'm sitting here with a big smile on my face looking like an idjut.

Yay Irene I told you you would do it!!!!

Very true, there is always something New & Improved!!

But I was so exhusted by the pain I was in (and other issues) that I simply wanted it all over, if you get what I mean. And band out, VSG in, was a simple way of getting rid of this pain, and any I might go through in the future.

Thankfully it was just a matter of going in, and chopping off some tubing, but that was still a surgery. Still carried risk, blah, blah, blah.

And joy of joys! My hair is falling out again (just like every other time I have had surgery)

I hope that when I see my doc tomorrow he clears me for running. I am losing my mind here. I really have missed running. It's cathartic, and I needed it over the last few weeks.

*sigh* I really am in a mood tonight.

The bit about the tubing caught my eye, Chickie, but I don't know the background. Do you have a separate thread with the details? I am interested to see if this is the same problem that I am having (kink in my tubing), and might be going in for surgery sometime in September to correct. I think it will be a fairly minor procedure and it isn't bothering me at the moment (not interfering with fills), so I'm not even sure I'm going to worry about getting it done.

Thank you Georgia and Froggi!! I’m so excited and most importantly relieved. I’m well over the hill of total weight loss now and the other side is getting more into focus every day.

Does anyone else find it amusing that TerriDoodle (beginner of thread) only posted on the first page (I think)?

posting just to say no comment....

Is there a hidden meaning in your "no comment" or are you just posting? I just thought it was kind of funny that 200+ pages later......that's all.

MEEE????? post with a hidden meaning... never ever ever... :biggrin:

-gives everyone sugarfree pudding- :biggrin:

Posting to say I'm over being sick. Over it.

That is all.

UTI's suck!

UTI's suck!

Oh yes they do. I replied to your most recent thread about them.....hope your Doc can help you find something to clear them up.

I thought she posted for at least a few pages??

Anyway, I want to watch yesterday's Big Medicine which I have on my DVR but Mr. Mac is watching Army of Darkness (for the 100th time) and won't give up the tv. :biggrin:

Posting just to say that I have lost 101 Lbs. as of this morning.

That is awesome! Congrats!

Thank you muchly! I am still pretty thrilled that I got that job. While being a SAHM was in so many ways a wonderful job, I feel more human when I am working outside the home at least a couple of days a week.

Thanks again :biggrin:

Here's a link to my story: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f78/kink-my-tubing-63672/

There wasn't a thread, I did blog (or whine, take your pick) about it a bit. In a nutshell, I have had a funny rubbing sensation under my ribcage, but above my belly button when I ran for at least the last 6 to 12 months. Nothing painful, or annoying, just odd...

Went for a good run one night early this month, went to bed, an woke up at some awful hour with a real sharp, throbbing pain in the same spot under the ribcage, but above the belly button, and a nasty, nasty referred pain in my left sholder (it was worse when I took a deep breath).

So, 9am rolls around, and I make contact with my surgeon, he gets me in to see him, organises a scope for first thing the following day (Friday 11th) to rule out an erosion or slip.

Scoped on Friday, everything is cool (band is in place, and no erosion is evident) get taken in for xray's and ultrasound to confirm that it is in fact the tube coiled up, and sitting on top of my diaphragm. That was the cause of the pain.

As we get smaller, there is more slack in the tube between the port and band. And given I have lost the sort of weight I have, there was a good amount of slack. So much that it curled up and found a nice spot on top of my diaphragm.

So Monday morning, I got admitted to hospital, had a quick lap surgery to chop off that extra tube, and I was good to go. The pain was gone as soon as I woke up. I spent the weekend on pain killers, and spent the night after surgery on coffee!

I have had a tiwtch since.

So, it's not really like what you have been going through, but I am really glad you are able to wait it out till your fund kicks in!

Oh, She! I finally got around to seeing a physio about my knee today. Only, it's not my knee! It's my back! Totally fixable with accupuncture and exercises. I had some accupuncture today, and go back again next week. I remember that you had it done a while ago. How long did that awesome "no pain at all" feeling last?
