  1. Whens your date? Mine is October 2nd! A month and 5 days away and time is flying! May I ask what books you've read?? I've done enough research on this surgery, I could almost do it on someone! Really though, I've been asked to come talk to future classes with my doctor. None of my research came from books though, and I am a bookworm. I hope your 6 weeks flies by as fast as it is with me!

  2. I reacted that way when I had a D&c. A minor surgical procedure, and it took me almost 40 hours to wake up. My family was freaking out. I was so confused when I woke up
  3. I've always liked the ugg boot /sweater dress outfits, but my calves are too big for normal ugg boots. I know they make fat legged ones, but I can't pull off that outfit at this weight without looking pregnant [ATTACH]17587[/ATTACH]
  4. I couldn't find any in stores, I had to get it off Amazon. Someone a couple comments back posted a link. At 11.5 grams for a tablespoon, it's worth having around
  5. Ok, she uses this one http://m.wikihow.com/Do-a-Home-Body-Wrap Don't do it more than once a month. For a simple overnight wrap, slather on a thick layer of any kind of firming lotion. Plastic wrap the skin, then ace bandage the top. Leave on overnight. She does this once a month also
  6. I'll try to find the recipe for it, but it's home made home made. Plastic wrap, some kind of mixture on your skin and hot towels over the top. My friend does it all the time for her baby belly pooch and it's looking really good
  7. 27 here, and I'm worried most about my arms. I have a pretty big stomach, but hardly any stretch marks, new or old, on it. My insurance pays for the panni removal so I'm not too worried about that. But the first thing I notice about people are their arms, and if I have big giant bat wings I'd never wear anything short sleeved. I'm planning on dry brushing, firming lotion and homemade body wraps. Along with exercise, of course
  8. October 2nd in Bismarck, North Dakota here!
  9. I've had them since I was very young, my mom says 3 was the earliest she remembers me having one. I get them when I'm really stressed out about something. I use Abreva on mine, it's expensive, 17 bucks for a tiny tube but it lasts me forever. I expect to get one when I have my surgery just because of nerves
  10. Hello from North Dakota! I'll be having my surgery with Dr Brandon Helbling at St alexius hospital in Bismarck on October 2nd!

  12. Hola fellow Dakotans. Hopefully the weather where you are is as nice as it is in minot right now! Any updates on your surgeries? My insurance approved mine and moved my surgery date up to October 2nd! Aaaaahhhhhhhhh 43 more days!
  13. I did! Look back at the picture!
  14. My doc said no gummies, cause they can't be sure of how much you're absorbing from them
  15. Hi! When's your surgery going to be? Mine is October 2nd, only a month and a half away and I'm excited! Don't forget to add chapstick to your hospital bag. From what I've read, it's the most important thing people forget
  16. That was the date I originally had, until I got moved to October 2nd, good luck!

  18. I used a dollar store clear 'condiment' bottle. Anything with a pointy top. If you use the dollar store one, you've got to hold the cap on tight or it'll pop up. Since then I've gotten a better quality one at Walmart, same aisle as the utensils. Cost 4 bucks there
