To everyone,

I have been battling to get my machine working with a Dell Inspiron 5160 which does not have a parallel port and is too 'advanced' to configure to a parallel port converter or card!

Please send me some details about Dell computers which do have parallel ports and are known to be working! I need to ask them to exchange it for one of these while I still have some hair left, as they are very slow to help and I would like a model number to request. Thank you.

Hi,

I am using dell latitude D800. It is an older model that still has the serial port. It was tough to find a dell compatible with the QXCI. I bought it in June 2004.nicki hewitt <nickihewitt@...> wrote:

I have aDell Inspiron 8600 top of the line for my QX. I had to buy a port replicator for it and the whole package works perfectly. What I was told is that none of the Dell laptops have parallel ports.

the scio works on usb or serial

the qx is designed to work on parallel and is not supported by qx for other

connections: this does not mean ity can not be made to work....it is just

how as i have explored two ways without success

Re: Info needed please

Does the scio have usb connection? How about a pcmcia card ? Should be able

to get it to work, without too much hassle, I would think. I do not have a

scio, only the older qxci. I thought that the scio was going to be usb. And,

I don't know for certain if they make a pcmcia card for a parallel port, but

I would certainly think they would. Seems like a lot of older printers and

such would be worth someone making it.

Dell, used to be good for support. Now, only as good as India or their

current support budget.

too bad for you they now give inferior support.

What RNY or other bypass (DS, etc) folks do has NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. You

should be able to eat almost anything. The band does NOT mess with your stomach,

diegestion, intestines, etc. It simply restricts quantity, the rest is up to

you.

This is the reason I recommend that people NEVER mix band and bypass patients in

a support group. It is particularly bad for bandsters, since they are usually

the minority, are usually blasted for bypass people in various ways, and hear

bad information.

Dan,

My town is very small I am the only banded in my group I

believe. One other person looking into it. I am a RNY post op as

well and was the group leader prior to my band. I went in for a RNY

revision and woke with a band. I don't want to stop leading the

meetings there is a big need for it locally. I just try not to mix

the band rules with RNY rules. I still have to follow the RNY rules

on some issues such as protein shakes and supplements due to my

malabsorbtion issues.Everything else is pretty much the same. I eat

all food groups in a healthy moderation. I have no problem eating

about a cup of food per feeding.I just worry about the members who

purposely omit whole food groups when it isn't really necessary and

dangerous. I want study info to prove my point so they will stop

this dangerous habit. Thanks for the help... It would be really nice

if we had more banded here so there could be a seperate group but I

have the only support group in my town and there just isn't enough

banded folks just yet.. I feel it will grow though as the RNY'ers

here seem to gain some weight back or never reach goal..

Thanks for the help

You're a unique person, having had both the bypass and the Band, and

are having to deal with the needs for both. I'm afraid when we forget

this when you post and we respond, we could easily be giving you not

so great info. Please remind us when you psot, but we'll try to

remember too.

I personally know little about the Bypass, other than the basics.

This makes it much easier for me, becuase I don't have tyo think " was

that for the band? or the bypass " I can;t remember... " I deal only

with banded clients and it's easier for me.

Part of the problems we see all the time with practices that do

mostly bypasses and bands, is that the band clients get the short end

of the stick.

The docs and even nutritionists don't always (oftren don't) know the

many differences - in foods tolerated and good, in eating techniques,

in followup care, in fill needs, and a huge amt more. The differences

ae fasr more than just around foods and eating.

Theer are several foods that Banssters should not be eating , or much

of at least. Bypass people can eat pretty much anytghing, since they

absorb so little. Thingds like potatoes, rice, pasta, all

breads/bagels etc are things on tyhe " avoid " list for Bandsters.

Bandsters also need to have calorie goals, while I don't think the

bypass peoppe have to worry too much about this, since they are not

absorbing.

You, yourself have some special needs that we can't address here,

that tou'll need to work out with your nutritionist. While a good

goal for most Bandster women is 1200-1500 cal a day, YOU surely need

far more than this since you also have a bypass and are not

absorbing. Your small pouch size probably allows only about a cup of

food at a time, so I have no idea how you are going to be able to eat

enough calories to lose safely and not have a very severe

malabsorption. For instance, if you need like 3000 cal a day to meet

the fiber, calcium, and protein goals, I don't see how it is possible

for you to eat this with your small pouch size.

We will help you all we possibly can here, but I'm afraid that it

will be pretty limited.

But back to your original question about how to help your support

grouop people. I hope I gave you some good info in my other response

a day or two ago. But what I'd suggest is that you have that one

other Potential Bsandster join here directly, and also join a larger

Band group like www.ObesityHelp.com and have her get pure Band advice

and info from all of us directly. There is SO much to learn with

banding, that she has to be the one who takes the initiative to

learn.

The printed stuff you gave her from our files is a great start, but

there is much much more that you just won't be able to help with,

since you're both a brand new Bandster yourself, and also a

combination of Bandster and Bypass person - very unique. What you

alone need to do will be different from what either " pure " Bypass

people or " pure " bandsters need to do.

The best to you - and please keep in touch here and let us know how

you are and share what you learn!

Thanks for adding the info. If you'd said you were banded over RNY I missed it.

Hang in there.....
