  1. From my understanding they are very difficult to get rid off. Apparently, they are back on the rise because the stuff they used to spray with had cancer causing agents. You may have to get rid of your mattress :-(
  2. Awww that is so sweet. My daughter tells me and my mom (her Nana) have big butts. I cannot wait for her to look at me and say something different. Congratulations!
  3. I don't think anyone would hold it against you! This seems like the no hold bars room....
  4. Congratulations! Keep us posted on your updates....
  5. I am so estatic and happy for you! I realize that the wait was getting to you. I am so happy they didn't take another week. Would we have made it through!?!
  6. Sounds great to me...that is about 5.8lbs a week. You may hit a stall or you may not. There are tons of threads out about this and you seem to be doing quite well especially if you haven't stalled.
  7. Or what about the Prince song "Cream, get on top, Cream U will Cop!" HAHAHAHAHA
  8. Wow, that was a quick turn around. Congratulations!
  9. I am so embarassed, I cannot believe no one has stopped this thread! hehehehehe, NOT. I love this! This sounds like convo's me and my coworkers have at times. We call our bay the EEO isle! Because if someone over hears they are bound to be offended. I have learned something new. I will tell my husband to try peaches. Nothing like a little peaches and cream!
  10. I think I might be a weirdo! I watched on Youtube last night and thought it was very interesting (not sure how else to word it). My husband on the other hand left the room. I always liked those surgery shows and such.
  11. Congratulations on your weight loss. You look great!
  12. Wow, you look amazing. Congratulations. I know you probably can't stop smiling!
  13. I just breezed throught it quickly. Thanks it looks great.
  14. I suppose it's debatable but here is a a little info I found on both.... History of the gastric sleeve The earliest incidence of this kind of surgery occurred in the mid-1990s. Sleeve gastrectomy is a less common form of bariatric surgery than the alternatives, but is gaining popularity as it is also less invasive than a full bypass. Laparoscopic techniques were developed at the end of the 1990s and are now used as standard, since the complications and recovery time are generally lower. Timeline 1986 First use of open adjustable silicone gastric banding (ASGB) 1990 (Apr) First use of ASGB in Europe 1990 (Dec) ASGB FDA-approved clinical trial started in the U.S. with the first patient surgery 1991 First ASGB workshop in Europe 1993 First laparoscopic adjustable gastric band used in Europe 1994 First LAP-BAND® System workshop in Europe 1995 LAP-BAND® FDA-approved clinical trial started in the U.S. with the first patient surgery in the United States 2001 The LAP-BAND® System is approved by the FDA for use in the U.S. 2005 My LAP-BAND® Journey online clinical support program is introduced to provide tips and trackers designed to help patients prepare for surgery and track post-surgery success 2006 Sales of LAP-BAND® System exceed 100,000 for the first time 2007 The third generation, LAP-BAND AP® System, the most advanced gastric banding technology is launched 2007 Sales leap to over 300,000 in the United States 2011 (January) 650,000 LAP-BAND® System devices sold worldwide1 2011 (March) The LAP-BAND® System is approved by the FDA for people with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 30 kg/m2 with one or more obesity related comorbid conditions
  15. If you don't mind me asking, what type of "other" paper work did they request? **Congratulations on your approval!!!
  16. Ummmm, I cannot wait to have skinny sex with my husband. We have always had great lovin', but I feel like I am more into doing different stuff when I am smaller. Hubby only needs to loose like 20lbs and I am sure that will happen when I am sleeved. (He is not the type to eat crap in front of me either). Good for you and good for her I don't care what some people say, sex is a very healthy, important part of any relationship. It was actually one of the things the Doc asked me during my psych eval.
  17. Good luck tomorrow and wishing you a speedy recovery!
  18. You go boy! I say with all that you mentioned there would be nothing wrong with providing us with some visual aids i.e. photos :ph34r: !!! Good for you. That is awesome, you happiness radiates in this post!
  19. You look great and thanks for sharing your list.
  20. Wow, I can only imagine. I have had this conversation with hubs several times during this already emotional process. So I can relate. It is suppose to be happy time, but I don't know if I would be happy. I am so sorry you are going through this.
  21. You look great. You have made great progress. Congratulations!
  22. That is great news and there is nothing wrong with following up on your own stuff. I will be like them like stink on poo...the girl is gonna be upset I have her email :-)
