  1. Howdy y'all...it's been ages since I updated this thread. 2 1/2 yrs. My thigh lift in August 2011, healed very nicely as ...I asked my Dr about doing something with my back fat and he said NO MORE!!! haha! I'm gonna try to post a few more pics of my legs for those interested. If you are considering having plastic surgery and just aren't sure...you're asking the wrong person, I'm addicted as may be quite obvious! Tummy Tuck/Boob Lift/Arms/Face/and Legs! Still gonna try to convince Dr Burns to do my back...in a few yrs, maybe my eyes.( I shoulda done them with the face) Good Luck !!! Joanie
  2. Wow, it's been forever since I've been on here...so glad I got that email from y'all!

  3. Happy 59th Birthday slowmover54!

  4. Hi Veronica...my name is Joanie and I know constipation Yup!!! My dr and pharmacist recommended Mirilax (or store brand) I put a capful in my hot tea every morning and ...No Problems in the bathroom! My daughter puts it in her coffee, and we both will tell you we can't taste it at all. It does not work like exlax, so you don't have to be afraid to take it before work. My drs have told me that it is perfectly safe to use everyday. Try it! ( I have also recently added a probiotic to my vitamin regimen to help with digestion) Keep eating good, and keep up the exercise and start going to the bathroom and the weight will come off. You're doing great! My nephew had his lapband prot removed due to an infection and has yet to have a fill and has lost over 100 lbs in a yr with just exercise and weighing and measuring everything he eats. So son't worry about feeling like you need a fill, you have some restriction. Let us know how things turn out...Good luck!!

  7. I am a Lapband pt, but have a few friends who have the sleeve, so I wanted to learn what I could about it.

  8. Happy 58th Birthday slowmover54!

  9. I have lost 100lbs with my band and was told that is not typical. And I have a nephew who had his band put in last Jan (2011) got an infection and had to have his port removed, so he still hasn't had a fill...he has lost 140lbs so far. Just wanted to put it out there! Good luck!
