  1. What a difference...congrats!
  2. My face gets really irritated with waxing so I have to shave with a razor...grr!
  3. At least they told you quickly
  4. Yay! That's great...congratulations!
  5. I'm lucky I only get a small stubbly patch below my knees so I only shave like once a week, my lip hair is another thing though...I hate it!
  6. I love Dexter! He's my laptop wallpaper!
  7. Well I've read that for every 100 pounds our mons weighs a pound, so I'm sure there will be some shrinkage. I've also read that 3 pound mons can look like a scrotum after all that weight loss. *yikes*
  8. Is chub rub gel the actual brand? What do clogged sweat glands look like? I noticed that on my bikini line there are some white bubbles but I'm not sure if its from shaving or if its clogged sweat glands? They don't hurt they would just itch alot at first.
  9. How did the interview go?
  10. Interesting. I was wondering what they did the 2nd night.
  11. I need to ask about this..thanks for letting me know.
  12. Hi! They haven't scheduled my surgery yet. I have to wait 6 months, I'm on my 4th month. I'm thinking maybe it will happen in November or December? Dr. Savinon is my Internal Medicine Doctor and my surgery is suppose to be at Valley Baptist in Harlingen.Definitely call to ask for prices, one physician's assistant told me that there were cheaper options to do the sleep study. Where are you having your surgery?
  13. I also scored 14/20. That was fun...thanks!
  14. Thanks, Brady. That sounds like a good plan.
  15. I thought so too. I thought the doctor's office had mentioned a different and cheaper sleep study. I guess I should wait til I see him at the end of the month. Then again, with my insurance I have a $1000 deductible then the rest of the tests are at 90%, so if I get a cheaper sleep study I would still have to pay around $1000 for the other tests...grr!
  16. Mine didn't happen in a restaurant but at Astroworld in Houston. I was around 225, 70 pounds lighter than I am now and 20 years ago. I was getting on the tidal wave and they had a hard time closing the lap bar, til a couple of workers forced it to close...talk about red faced. I didn't enjoy the ride and I never got on another ride again.
  17. I went to see the pulmonologist today and he wanted me to do a 2 day sleep study. I was shocked that its gonna cost me $1025 with insurance. He wanted to do it this week, but I don't have that amount yet. How much do these studies run and why 2 days?
  18. Glad you're doing good. Keep walking.
  19. That day is almost here...how exciting! You'll be fine. Let us know how it goes.
