Sound System? Check!

The BF and I visited the Sony Fair at KAC last night, and the BF bought a cool home theatre system last night, and it is so cool! All four speakers covering all four corners of my living room! Talk about surround sound!

So the men from the shop came over after work last night and set it up for us. But they mentioned that we should get like a monster cable or something to make the sound system even better. But we think the current wiring should be fine, and getting a monster cable is not necessary for now..

And once our bedroom is renovated, we will move the theatre system to ur bedroom! And a plasma tv is on the way too! Can't wait!

Lap Band Surgeries

I have heard a lot about this lap band surgery thing and how it can help a person in losing weight.

If you do not know what is a lap band, it actually comes from the Lap Band System, which is a brand name of the FDA-approved, adjustable gastric band used in the procedure. To put it simply, a lap band is a silicone belt that looks like this:

and once it goes around the top of the stomach where it should be, it will look like this:

What this does is that you will be able to control your hunger and achieve a "feeling of fullness" in your stomach after a meal. By having this, you will eat much less and should feel full sooner.

A key component of the Lap-Band System is of course, its adjustability. The band is connected to a port, which enables the device to be inflated over time to expedite the weight loss.

After the surgery, the patient should be able to return to work within a week, with just minimal discomfort. A nutrition plan prescribed by the surgeon or nutritionist should be followed. A liquid diet for a few weeks is likely, until one can tolerate soft foods, and later on solid foods.

Patients typically lose 50% to 60% of their excess body weight within two years after having the surgery. Additional plastic surgery may be indicated, depending on how much weight is lost.

Thousands of people per year are getting this surgery to lose weight, and have succeeded. But please be informed that I do not think just anyone will be able to qualify for this surgery, so a doctor's consultation is highly advised.

Katherince McPhee Engaged

It is reported that Katherince McPhee is now engaged to her longtime boyfriend Nick Cokas. Not sure how true this is, but if it is, then finally! I think everybody saw this coming, like us recently *cough cough*..

But since she's now in the same bandwagon as I am, hopefully they'll go down the marriage road and live a normal live, under the circumstances..
