can anyone tell me were too start. do i call the numbers on the bus benches? are they good places?

Hey Carlene,

Have you checked out LAP-BAND's website? It's over at Official Site: the LAP-BAND® Adjustable Gastric Banding System for weight loss surgery and will answer a lot of your questions!

lol!! heheheh!

thats funny! that did happen to me! lol! but it was not very long ago one of my cows did get all piss and rammd me in the head with her head...it really hurt ig got knocked out for few minuites and then i had some stiches from the vet. i stll have a scar.

oh and are there scars from the surgery? i don't mind coz i have a big tattoo that might cover it depends on where it is.

and i have a scar from my cesaren section i had a long time ago, so i guess it doesnt matter. but i just wonder a bunch.

ok if this band blocks food from going down how do i eat? im confused. i know i cant eat the sliding foods but whats left. whats not sliding food? how about clam chowder? i really like chowder.

Carlene

Please, please post a photo of the tattoo!!

oh and socalchic i know where downey is not to far from me.

thats where karen carpenter died. she hit the floor and just died. she was gone when she hit the tiles. she didnt need aband coz she stuck her fingers down her food pipe and barfed. my older brother andy used to go sit in front of her house hoping to see her. but he never did. he went to her grave though.

hey thansk....this is really good and thanks for the link to the band site.....

Thanks for the Carpenters update. Now playing non-stop in my head: every sha la la la whoa oh... Guess it beats the monkey/banana/Tim Curry images that are usually in there :frown:.

Carlene~ Yeah, you will have some scars. It could mess up your tattoo if it is on your stomach.

The band does block food so the pouch gets full, but it does go through a small opening so you can eat some foods if you chew, chew, chew. Kind of like a cow!

Night Carlene - Hopefully we will see you again tomorrow on LBT!

Geez, cupcake. You sure took that personally. Everything is NOT about you. You're NOT the only monkey I know. And the banana thing - everyone knows. It was in a thread about a week ago. But THIS is not about you, cupcake. Go find a St. Bernard to annoy.

Do you have a cupcake? I'll trade you for a box of hamsters.

I'll give you 2 cupcakes for 1 crapweasel. And I'll even throw in the Carpenters' music now running non-stop in my head. But only if you're really good.

I am. Just ask Tim Curry. :frown:
