  1. Before you pay slot of money for anything,think about this, you will have to let your hair grow out and enough wants that. I use the tweezee. It cost 15 bucks ,uses 2 ASSs batteries. I take the plastic shield off when I use it cause I want to get those just new hairs that are coming in. I use it in the mornings, cause you know they grow fast. You don't even have to look when you do it, just dance across your face, chin,neck until you don't feel any more and skin is smooth. They are made good and I am 52 and have been plucking since 15 or so, I have never shaved this area, I have waxed, dyed white, and threaded, I think this is the best thing to use, its gets ALL hairs except a few stubborn or ingrown hairs, then I would pluck. Hope this helps, Google tweezes.
  2. Good luck! It will be sometime in September for me, no date yet, still going to doc appointments this month.
  3. I just wanna go to clearance racks at high end stores for great deals on smaller clothing.!!
  4. Touch left bottom button of your phone if you have a Samsung
  5. Do you see your regular doctor often. They always weigh you when you come in. You may be able to go back 6 months to get a record of your weight. I don't know if it will help, just a thought, Good luck hang in there
  6. Saw my regular doc today ,got the blood work done and the letter of support with my weight loss attempts out of the way! More to come.. ..
  7. I have anthem bcbs and they cover all three, lapband, sleeve, and bypass. There is no wait but still have to go to all appointments this month. My manager had the bypass and my supervisor had the sleeve.I am so happy its covered.
  8. I know this sounds weird but I am terrified if throwing up when I go back to work after I have surgery, which will be in September, I have a lot of appointments lined up in August. If you are sick , would it be right after you have eaten or can you be sick at anytime. I just had dentures in March and the toilets where I work flush automatically and I am worried I will lose my teeth. There are no trash cans because my company has gone green and have hand dryers. Should I bring a throw up bag with me ? Also I am not near the bathroom and don't want to be sick before I can get there .
  9. I bought a couple of tweezes, battery operated, pulls the hair out like tweezing. I love it and couldn't live without it. I have never shaved my face. As seen in TV product bought at bed bath and beyond but don't see it sold anywhere. May still be able to get on website.
  10. I like the sleeve surgery better cause there no rewiring like the bypass. I take Prozac, cholesterol medicine and blood pressure medicine. There are two people at work had the bypass and now look too skinny. One had the extra skin removed and he looks too skinny, I asked him what he ate now since had been a couple of years. He says yogurt and protein bars. This seems to harsh for me. Can I eat more foods then this and still lose weight?
  11. I told doc that I wanted the bypass but now leaning toward the sleeve surgery. I am so afraid that if I lose weight I will gain it back cause I live to eat and eat long after I am full.
