How about my avi? It's verging on looking like one of my OCs. I just need a few adjustments that I'm not going to make to have it look as such.

Zaoki: I had it scanned and cropped and everythign and taking my final look at it before uploading I realized I didn't color one of the shoes. /shot

it doesn't have to be perfect I just want to see it now xD

XD By the time you replied I already had it fixed and uploaded.

Here ya go, Zaoki

Its amazing thanks <3

You're welcome. Sorry it took so long.

Sure. Tell me what needs to be tweaked on the drawing :D

Here, this'll be easier. ^^ Link
That's also the style I'll be using for your OC.

I'm back for the day to keep you company

Yay. ^^ Glad to hear it. How are you?

considering the circumstances I'm better than I thought I would be

Great! Glad to hear it. ^^ Very glad.

Yeah it didn't go as smoothly as I wanted at first but I think I'll be feeling a lot better really soon.

Good. I'm glad you're alright though.

yeah I'm happy too I can't wait until I start to feel like normal

Hopefully that'll be very soon.

so far I think I'm doing better because I didn't make as big of a stink as some other the other patients

Stink? Like you didn't toss a fit?

yeah I guess thats what I mean xD I did cry a little and cough a lot and I felt bad because this lady across from me in the beginning seemed fine but then another lady came in and she was frantic

O-o wow, seriously? Which one was it if I may ask? The surgery I mean. I know about the bypass and the banding but nothing else.

lap band and because it was laprascopic I don't have a huge scar

Oooh, alright. They aren't doing the bypass laproscopic anymore?

oh they probably do but they don't offer bypass here. I'm kinda glad they don't though. Because now that I think of it if I got bypass I would be in terrible shape and if I needed to reverse it for any reason I'd have to go through such an ordeal. But with this band it doesn't permanently alter my anatomy.

I didn't even know you could reverse bypass. It's surprising that I know more about the band than I do the bypass considering my mother had the by pass done.

you probably could your entire stomach is still in your body its just been cut in sewn and yeah my little information booklet had info on all surgery alternatives

Ah. All I know about bypass is there's one called route y or something and how they make the surgery. I do know that I know more about the ring because of all the commercials there were when it first came on the market.

I was surprised how long they had that option I didn't know there was a ring until I went to the orientation xD

how long have they had it. I can't remember.

I think since the 80s

Wow. That's actually longer than I thought. Waaay longer than I thought.

yeah longer than I thought too

Then how long has bypass been around?
If this is a topic you don't want to talk about tell me. ^^ I'm a science geek. Biology to be specific but I also work for a hospital so this kind of thing fascinates me.

I love biology too so don't worry about it I'm just as big of a nerd xD I don't know though I know it started as a solution for certain stomach disease

I didn't know that but it makes a lot of sense. Glad to know a fellow nerd. Do you know which disease?

I'm not sure if it was ulcers or cancer or something else. All I know is it became a weight loss solution when people started noticing these people lost a lot of weight after they got the surgery

Well that's neat! Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. Yeah?

yup indeed I always find science amazing

Did you ever like history? I never could get into that myself.

I like history but I'm not super into history

Ah, I hated it. I think it might've been my teachers though.

I have an awesome history teacher right now
