  1. I will get that information for you soon. Let me look them up again, because it has gotten cold and I need to place an order. Smile.
  2. It working again!!!
  3. That is a million dollar question. The sheets did not work for me.
  4. Skinny jeans with a great pair of boots with heels. All eyes will turn and say, Wow!!
  5. Hello Susie, I just hate it when no one responds. Although I can not be of any help regarding this plastic surgeon, I really wish you the best in your search for a PS. Let me know how it is going, or if you need any help. I know you have been looking for for a while now. I would have sent you a personal message, but it does not seem to be working right now. I guess when it is up and running again I will. Anyway, Take care and I hope talk to you soon. Sweetpee
  6. I'm not completely horizontal yet either. Guess it just takes time. :-)
  7. Good advice for me too. Thanks!
  8. Silicon has really helped my LBL scar as well as having a very skilled surgeon. I use GelZone.com wrap for my LBL. I wish I had known about it for my VS scar, because it would have made them almost disappear. Well, I live and learn. I did not do anything for my VS scars and I regret it now. I am glad you are thinking ahead.
  9. I think PS really take special care as to how they sew, tape, or glue us up. My LBL flat scar has almost blended into my natural light brown skin color. It is just a little darker. It looks much better than my VS scars. My VS scars look exactly like Laura's too. I did not treat my VS scars with silicon wraps, and now they are raised and dark. They will still be there even after a TT or LBL just a little lower. My advice - treat them now while they are still fairly new, then later when you have plastics, they will not be as noticeable. I plan on asking my PS for scar treatment on my VS scars when I see him again because nothing I do is helping. Of course my VS was back in 2011. :-). :-) :-) Also when you are ready for plastic surgery, be sure to choose a doctor that understands and frequently work with those of us with tan pigmentation. They understand any mistakes will show up!
  10. Congratulations on making it a few days. Lately with the cooler weather coming, I forget to drink Water. The thirst and hunger mechanisms feel the same. I have to watch myself, because when I think I am hungry, I am really thirsty.
  11. Tape: I cried too. Loud! My skin came off! I have very very thin skin too. I thought the husband was going to rush me to the hospital. My PCP worked a hour on my sutures. There were some he and the nurse could not get out, so they sent me to a surgeon. It took the surgeon less than 5 seconds to remove the rest of my sutures. Good thing my body was still numb. I did not feel a thing :-)
  12. Encouragement works better than criticism. At least he is reaching out for help. I want to say, "hang in there." You can do this. Take one day at a time. Make positive affirmations to yourself often; "I LOVE ME; I AM GREAT; I WILL SUCCEED!" I know you are a wonderful person, and have been doing great so far. I have gone through bumpy times after this surgery, and that includes eating too many things I know I should not eat, or maybe just having literally one sip of a drink, and could not drive home. Thank God we have this community for "support and encouragement."
  13. That's wonderful! Congratulations!!!
  14. You look amazing!! Yahoo to plastic surgery!!!
  15. Your results are going it look great!!!
  16. Ha! I love it. Good dog - Bad dog
