  1. Lynette and Chimboree thank you. Look at the way i post here, if something pops into my head i say it and i'm the same with Adam if there is something bothering me i'll say it just as much if i've great news i'll say that too! He thinks there's nothing wrong he thinks he's being a great support. ah i dont know. like you guys saw the pic of him he's a hottie why would i wanna look at anyone else, anyways i'm doing this of course for me but for all three of us, so i'm healthy and i'll be around longer. this is as much for him as it is for Annafrancesca. ah i'm sure it will sort its self out.. chimboree you are totally right, about looking after yourself there are a lot of big people out there that think cos there big why both. that really annoys me
  2. Ronik, my darling if it cost only 25$ i would be getting them every week & would have the prettist feet of all the land!! mind you if pedicures are that cheap i'm sure everything else is. Jesus i would pamper myself all the time. Then god love everyone i'd be a cocky demom. Letsw just say it probably best i can't pamper myself everyweek, i'd have the biggest head ever! Lynette sugar if you want my name on your nails you go girl i promise i wont ask you to take it off!! on a more serious note i'm not feeling the support off Adam (my partner) he thinks he's being really helpful but to be honest he's totally not. Even little call or txt to see how i am but he ALWAYS as an excuse why he didn't.. eg he didn't want to bother me, he taught i wouldn't answer my phone in the doctor ...lalalalalala hope everyone is well. x
  3. night night Chimboree, sweet clean dreams! Lynette ok you can have Purple, but your upsetting the clover lucky 7 thing! clovers being green and all. but cos its you purple it is !!!!! yea, doctors do things totally different each on to there own! also i hear the band type also has an effect on the about of incisions ... i'm outtie for a while, got to go home, make the dinner ect.......... so i'l talk to you all tonight..... i'm thinking of you all xx
  4. ah Fustrated your too sweet thank you! Chimboree matey i too love pedicures but over here there so expensive its like 60 euro for a crap one and 75 euro (80-100$$) for something some what decent. now although i'm not struggling money wise i defo can't afford that too ofter along with gel nails too! Lucia Maria that is a fab name is that your actual name? oh oh who's getting there nails done i can't re,e,ber but i'm totally up for the idea of a clover and or a 7. and if anyone wants a constant reminder of ME you can always just get Dini written on your nail art, (just a suggestion, but do keep it in mind)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! incase you haven't gotten my humour i'm only joking, love you all
  5. oh Lynette did you hear you and I are cheerleaders! i'm so chuffed with that! all we need is some green pom poms!!
  6. Lynette girlfriend, your MARVELOUS now!! your doing so well. I was at the Clinic today to get my stitches removed! i've got 4 tiny scars i'm so happy with them i taught they would be bigger. i've lost 3lbs this week but the nurse said not to worry cos i was still swollen and that i hadn't poo'd wasn't helping.. my nest app is on the 25th.. hope to the god lord i will have lost a little more by then!!

HI EVERYONE... hope your all well. it took me over half an hour to catch up on one days posts. were some group!! Snaggletooth i hope Aunt Flo shows up soon for you! Chimboree my little darling, were you calling me Foxy Momma cos if you were i'm so flattered thats the nicest thing i've been called in years. i can't stop blushing! if you weren't calling me that i'll just pretend you were!! I see that Bun1, Lynette(legend) and my Sunny Sunshine are on board how are you doing ?
  8. What type of band is everyone getting? my band is the Helioscopie!
  9. i'm in Ireland, do you mind me asking how much it cost?over here it was 10k euro all in(just over 6.5k sterling). all your fill after care ect... I used to live in Bristol for 3 years only came home in November.
  10. really , i never knew about that they wouldn't opp if you were on the fist day of your period. I got mine just before i went to bed and they opp'ed on my at 8am! i was thinking that you were in the uk alright would be a very long way to go from the states. whats making you go to prague. is i that much cheaper? what are you going to do about fill and stuff?
  11. bun1 sorry to hear that you counldn't get opp on. are you based in the states or europe?
  12. kathybad, i was not given a choice and honestly have heard of no-one been able to choose, thats great for you. my port is just under my ribs on the left hand side. will the bikini area not annoy you because of wearing trousers and stuff. i can feel mine and i can only imagine that if something was to be always lying on it that i wouldn't be too comfortable
  13. Best of Luck for Tomorrow Lynette, BeefyIrish & bfyneNtyme we will all be thinking of you x
  14. hey Frustrated when i 1st came around, i was freezing. the cold was so bad. then after the put the heater under me i warmed up and i noticed i couldn't breath.the little bit of breathing i was doing was very painful. i got opp on at 8am and i think at around 12 they were going to get me to walk but i was far to dizzy. at around 1.30 i tried again and no luck still very dizzy then at around 3 i was taken to the toilet to change myself. (i had my period) they left me for a second and i callosped. after that i didn't get up again till around 6. i was very weak! i had to sleep on a chair cos of my breating and i was also on oxygen all niight. after i came home from hospital i walked lots and then today and yesterday i went to town and was walking for hours and i over did it. also my wind has been fine up till last night and today its been quite sore. there were 6 of us getting banded and i was the ONLY one who suffered. anything else? please do ask
  15. Welcom Rebeccah411, that is amazing that you and your mother and sister are all getting done at the same time, you'll be able to help one another so much. Ronik i get you now sorry i didn't read your post properly Lynette i'm well looking forward to you and everyone else joining me and Breadlady on 'LOSER ROW'. A little bit of advice, try not to get up quickly, that was my problem and it still is. even if your lying down a few days after the opp and you think your fine, slowly sit up. i just got up a bt quicker than normal and i felt very dizzy as if about to faint also please please please drink your liquids and your Protein shakes. it helps you recover quicker and give you the energy. sorry if you think that this advice is obvious but i didn't follow it as i should and as yo all well know i've had a tough time

  20. Nelli, one of my friends calls them 'Her Friends' she would say her friends came over last week and i would actually think she is talking about her friends from work or somewhere else but she would be talking about her period, sometimes i wouldn't cop on for ages!!
  21. oh one other thing i totally forgot, i'm actually feeling really fustrated cos i stay up quite late yet it still isn't late enough to chat to you guys !!!
  22. hi everyone, today is a good day, i feel a lot better. i even got my hair done today and i'm a foxy momma. Sunny i'll start with you: CONGRATULATIONS on your date thats fab. (i can't remember if i already said it but saying it again wont hurt!!) welcome : Steph7s, Tinkerbell177, Ribearty, Daulour & Sunshinesonya! i really can't keep up with everyone. Lynette your 'Aunt Flo' that is the funniest ever when i read it i could stop laughing it hurt. over here the younger girls call it there 'Flowers' and more common people call it there 'Paint & Decorators' About the band moving, i can feel the Port moving a bit not band. it is stitched in but it feels like it moves i can't explain it propper sorry but it feels different lets just say my stitches are so so so ichy, they are not in my way because they are covered with plasters. i haven't even seen them i can't wait to. i know i've 4 scares but i'll tell you more about then on tuesday when i get them out. my port is just under my ribs on my left side its slightly sore but nothing major at all actually more tender than sore. i cant remember if i told you all but i've 3mm in my band already. i feel so much better today its great. really amazing i taught i'd never get to this but i feel great. i've been walking so much. i find pushing the pram/push chair hard but walking on my own is great. how is everyone doing? Lynette Breadylady, Sunny , Chimboree indigolady ect...... how are you? by the way its also great here cos we've got good weather and sun xx
  23. hey chimboree, ask away if i can help i totally will!! i got stitches but i can't see them cos i've got plasters over them? also i can't really feel anything going down but thats cos i'm drinking little little bits at a time. i have not poo'd yet but i've peed lots! anymore questions?? keep em comming oh indigolady where in ireland is your family from and does anyone else have family in ireland??
  24. hey everyone! i've just wrote the longest post ever. included everyone in it and now its all gone the page just closed down. i'm so annoyed! because i do not have the patience to do it all over again i'll do a short version. welcome all newbies (there are lots of you its great)! I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone prayers and well wishes. I've not been great the past fews days but since around 2 pm today i've been getting better. i've had terrible headaches and after crying for 2 hours i rang the hospital and they called me back hours later and told me i had to eat. and they were right i was not eating or drinking enough. someone asked it there was anything i was not expecting and that was being so cold. i was freezing after the opp i was also very dizzy, this was before i fainted. i'm not trying to scare anyone but i think you should hear the bad as well as the good. oh if you can manipulate your period i would defo do that. it was horrible having them aswell as being in pain. with the band in me i feel like it moves like if i'm standing its in a different spot than if i'm sitting. also it sometimes feels like there's a baby in me kicking me crazy huh? any questions ask away i'm back now no more hiding. again sorry i havn't mentions any names but thanks for all your taughts xx
  25. indigogirl and chimboree thanks you i had my period so they brought me to the toilet but, i needed to clean up also as well as get changed so they left me for a bit and then i colasped. they heard me hit the sink so they came running in but i dont know how long i was out for. when i said i could feel the band i ment the post. I'm having a hard hard time breathing also. i think that having my periods, a little but of a cold and then falling it's all made it worst. i'm a fighter so its al good. few more days and i'll be doing super!! i was told not to bring a hot water bottle but i brought one anyways and i loved it so i defo this you should all bring one!! again any questions fire away!!
