So as I posted in someones recent post as a reply,I want to film my surgery. I want to make a short documentary, maybe just something that sheds a little light on Medical Tourism as a whole. The problem is I cant film my own surgery. I need someone to do it. Well, I dont even have a family member or friend that can come down for support let alone stand in an operating room, not pass out and film the process. My family other than my father isnt interested in helping me (my two sisters), and my best friend cant afford to go because he has no job. I dont really have anyone else but my dad and he is in Iraq. Is there anyone that lives close to San Diego that would be interested in doing this for me. Id just need you to cross the boarder and film the surgery. After I wake up and and I am conhearent, you can hand over the cam and ill document my after surgery thoughts and feelings....You'd be doing me a huge favor..I didnt really plan on paying anyone. I was just hoping someone would feel the same way I do...they are tired of hearing how stupid it is to go MX for surgery and wants to help. You can reply to the post or pm me thats cool.

Thanks,

Tiffany

Thanks Guys and Gals.

Like I said what's done is done. I took it down. So no telling who knows. I guess Ill just have to wait. Of course my WHOLE family is skeptic about Medical Tourism. SO now I am just looking forward to the " You thought I was gonna come back without a kidney" when I am 150 pounds lighter at xmas dinner this year. Jokes on them. I will be happy, healthy...not to mention sexy and RIGHT = ]

OK sooooo I am uber excited but also just the tiniest bit POed. I put my date out for April 20th. (a million years away) I have to pay cash so that is when it HAS to be. Well my father must have went and managed to tell the entire family one way or another, because today I logged on to my FB to find a sassy comment on my wall.

"Dont go to Tijuana, Youll DIE down there, YOU ARE STUPID if you go, just go to the gym instead"

I had no idea that anyone even knew, OR if I even wanted to tell the family until after. Plus posted on my FB, allowed the million people I know and go to school with to also get a glimsp of the decision I have made. I didnt want anyone to know, like REALLY. Of course I immdietly deleted it, but what's done is done now. I just wanted the joy of being 50 pounds lighter, well on my way to my goal and being about to tell everone, yes i believe in Medical Tourism and I am living proof in the powers of WLS. That has been taken away from me now....and I guess I am just angry and wated to RANT.

Thanks,

Tiffany

This is actually One of the questions I had too. I EAT.I don't have very low self esteem, and I dont feel like my overeating is s coping mechanism. I just eat, and eat and eat. If I like something I eat it. If Im bored I eat. I swear my stomach must be stretched to the size of a 2 liter bottle down there. I can even sometimes recognize,"Hey Im full." I still ignore it and stuff my face. What Is it that makes you STOP eating in your head. I think I have had the feeling once in my life.

Ill give you an example of the only time I can remember something I can compare it too. A long while ago I was on phentermine (popular prescription diet pill). That is the only time I can ever remember the absolute I AM NOT HUNGRY feeling. Is it the same as that? Are you just not hungry and kinda forcing yourself to eat and then your body finally adjusts?

This is all over the place but I saw a jumping off point in the thread,

I know I am not the end all be all but I can provide a tiny bit of info. I am NOT a Dr., but I am in hair school and something we do to promote growth is scalp massages. When you stimulate your scalp you are stimulating blood flow. Better blood flow and circulation bring more nutrients to your scalp, helping hair grow. Plus if you ladies and gentlemen can get your significant other to do it for you, it is extremely stress relieving and relaxing. If not, you can just massage in the shower. Use the pads of your fingers, no nail! You could damage your scalp, and further deteriorate the growth process. Most salons offer this as an add on to any service, and this nice thing about it is some of theirs can last from 15-30 mins. You will never be so relaxed.

Hello everybody! Let me introduce myself, My name is Tiffany. I am scheduled to be sleeved next year. This is my first post and unfortunately I am not getting off on the right foot because I believe this may be in the wrong forum category. I am sorry if it is....I am sort of an idiot you know lol...

This could get graphic lol. The skin in between my upper thighs I have noticed is a completely different color than the rest of pale pasty me. Now I am being treated for hypothyroidism, which they say a symptom is skin discoloration. Really though, every since I have been young, I cant remember a time my thighs didnt touch, even when I was a normal size. I think that is playing more of a role in it than my disorder. I guess my question is, did anybody else suffer from this before they lost their weight and did it improve upon weight loss?

Any Input Appreciated,

Tiffany
