Mental / Feelings Aspects of Rapid Weight-Loss…. Some of the issues being dealt with include--- 1.) "…Simple Psyche Eval….What to do?...My Head-Doc’s a Quack!!” Some ideas on how others have dealt with such? ____________________________________ 2.) "Post-Op Depression!!??  I'm a 'Mess'!.  Is this just Brain Chemistry?? WTF?!?!" Most Likely.  Many (even with other surgeries) have Post-Op Depression.

GREEN is definitely your color. You're a "monster".

Dx all I get is  I have tried it 6 times now. Same message.

VolanoChat Server

Unable to Connect

Problem

The VolanoChat applet failed to connect to the VolanoChat server either because the server has reach its capacity or because the server is temporarily down.

Solution

Wait a few minutes and try again.

If that didn't work ...

You may be trying to connection through an HTTP proxy server. The VolanoChat applet cannot connect to the VolanoChat server through an HTTP proxy server because it doesn't communicate using HTTP. Try switching the connection to a SOCKS proxy server or try using a network address translating (NAT) router for your firewall, if either of those options are available for you. VolanoChat works fine through a firewall using SOCKS or NAT. Your network administrator may be able to help you change your settings to work with VolanoChat.

Doug, sorry to hear it.... Guys are coming and going in here now-7:44 Central.... Maybe a firewall problem?

I'm totally blocked by my proxy. I can't even ftp from here. And, considering about 1/3 of my classes involve teaching students to make Flash Audio home pages is pretty sad. This year I had to have them use the Yahoo Geocities Geocreator on line home page maker. It took so much bandwidth, that it just about shut down the whole system.

 

Dx -=- From CALI -- sorry, I had a late afternoon DOC appt downtown Beverly Hills and then the traffic was miserable ..... Next week ..... THANKS  KIM

Dex, I'll try and drop in around 8PM EST tonight. Bob Mazzoni and I are going over to Duke tonight to see Jeff H. from the men's board. He is having RYN surgery today with my doc.
