  1. Robin, I have NO idea. But if you have any concern, please call your surgeons office and tell them. If anything, they will note it in your chart for any future problems.
  2. Jessie, LOOK AT THAT!!! How cute. I love farm animals. I would love to live on a farm. Have a BIG garden with lots of animals. Some people are SO lucky to have this opportunity. My Anne keeps telling people that we're moving to the country and she's getting a horse (have NO idea where she gets these ideas). You know, I just thought of something... if I lived on a BIG farm and had lots of animals, I wouldnt have time for LBT?!?! I think Ive just reconsidered country living.
  3. Hi Mia! Remember to drink liquids for at least 24 hours after the fill. And I agree with Janet, too much hype over fills. After you get one, you'll see that its really NO big deal! Good luck!
  4. Im cracking up... Aunt Janet!!! LOL ~~~ Sorry Kim, but I need to slightly hijack this thread for a moment ~~~ Janet, just wondering about the "dying beard" thing. Did that actually work...??? If you DYE your grey/white whiskers, the laser can actually ZAP them? This is, of coarse, from one mutt to another :bananadoggywow:
  5. Jacqui, LMBO... where else can you talk about 'bazoongas' and people completely understand?! MY bazoongas look like cantelopes IN a bra, but take the bra off and they drop into tube socks. What a before and after shot THIS would be! And Im too chicken for BR, so... my chances of ever going braless are NEVER. Even though the store mirror's showed some flaws, just remember... You may not be where you want to be. But *THANK GOD* you are NOT where you used to be! :clap2: :clap2:
  6. LMBO... yep! Here too. Tricia, Im not sure the price of Vaniqa, but -so far- Ive paid a grand ($1000) in 1 year for zapping these tree stumps! Vaniqa cant be MORE expensive then this?! I brought this up on my Laser hair Removal thread and thought Id mention it again.... Anyone around here have PCOS that has naturally light hair? My doctor said that PCOS can be found primarily in Spanish decendents (dark haired women). Interesting, I fit that category.

    What's PORN??? :bananadoggywow: ((in my best Kelli Pickler voice)) Thinjen, I laughed so loud that Mike even looked at me. You people are nuts tonight! LOL

    Awe Kare, ((hugs)) Ive often sat and thought of the day when my nest would be empty. It makes me so SO so so sad that I actually start crying. That boy has been with you for 18 years. You have every right to be sad! (((big BIG hugs)))

    Tricia, U crack me up. can any of you believe it??? she's gone... Kelli is gone. She talked the show -OFF- the air.
  10. Robin, re: reflux I -also- suffer with nighttime reflux every now and then. Ive tried everything. Meds, pillows, drinking a gallon of Water to flush out the pouch, not eating late.... but the one thing that has helped me lately is when I go to bed and get that heaviness feeling (start of reflux), I get up and pb - to completely empty my pouch. When my pouch is completely empty - I dont have any problems with reflux. Even though I *thought* my pouch was empty when I went to bed, Im shocked to see the things that come up with that pb. TMI???
  11. Myra, Ive just added that site to my favorites. good-God! I didnt know they had things like that available on the net.
  12. Kare, IIIIII noticed your blue door. Sure did! If you wouldnt have all the flower color in your yard, I dont think it would be as positive looking. I loved it. I also love you and Lisa's stone walkways. *sigh* Ill never have anything that looks that good.
  13. i know... i know.... its PAST time for a check up. I really feel like everything is fine though. Does THAT count??
  14. Seminole, Im glad someone else told her that. (((*nudging Nana* You see??? I told you.)))) Nana, Im going to send this thread link to LaMadam and ask he to read it. I remember when she was completely unfilled then refilled later, she couldnt handle the last fill amount. (did that make sense?) very interesting.
  15. Sorry, but I dont believe you. I need a picture. Post a picture - and you'll convience us. (LOL - j/k, you know we love you!!!! - but we'll love you MORE if you show us a picture! :biggrin1: ) Big Congrat's on the bracelet!
  16. Wow - Mary! All I can say is wow. You dont even look like you had or needed surgery. You look like youve always been that size! Way to go!
  17. Hope you are having a WONDERFUL day! Happy Birthday!

    anyone notice Kat's boobies? At the end of her song - when she got a little wild up there - I was holding my breath for her. Afraid one of those things would pop out. She looked good She sounded good. I still think she was the best vocal in lastnights performance.
  19. You know guys, Ive lost 65ish pounds. Its been a year since Ive hit this weightloss. Sorry to say, the whiskers NEVER got better. :tired Ive had several :bananadoggywow: laser hair removal treatments - and although there IS improvement, I dont see anything permanent in this department. Wish I could say that the weightloss decreased the facial hair 20, 30, 50%.... but I didnt see it.

    I kinda got that! Ok, maybe Im just a late bloomer. But has Paula had a problem with drugs/alcohol before?
  21. Hey Heather! Wow, today's the BIG day (already) ~~~ WELCOME to the Band Wagon, Kiddo! Cant wait to see you 'purrrrrring' around. :cat:
  22. Today is your 40th Birthday??? Oh my goodness..... this IS a BIG day. HaPPy BiRtHdAy Michelle! We love you so much - hope you are having an awesome day!
  23. :omg: 3loves :omg: My dream is to have a REAL veggie garden. Funny how you said that - thats how you were raised. I think we ALL grew up tending a garden. NOW we grow up with Walmart having everything :bananadoggywow: . The family picture... thats priceless.

    Pat, WHAT DID YOU HEAR about Ryan and Paula on GMA?????????
  25. Nana, give me more details. Since you and I were banded less then a month apart, I like to keep up with your 'problems'. Did the tightness occur suddenly? Did you have any Reflux associated with this? last question... has your doctor ever requested for you to get an endoscopy? I really REALLY need a check-up. But... but... but... -cant find a good enough excuse NOt to go - just procrastination, i guess.
