  1. I had heard from a friend that knows someone that did this...Nair hair removal. Place a wad of that under the belly for 4 hours and bingo, skin irritation! Well...I had just started with a yeast infection (yay...gross) but it was not impressive...so 2 hours of Nair was ENOUGH for me...nice seeping sore hip to hip. I am desperate!!!!! I told the NP that "I have been having this problem for a year now and was too embarrased to go to the doctor that I treated myself at home, but last year was so bad I am afraid to do that again" hehehe. I hope to heck it doesn't take too long to get an approval!!! I started at 250 and lost 60...Not sure if I'll loose 100. I need a hysterectomy and want it soon and a tummy done at the same time. I hate to wait too long to do this, hopefully NAir will get me there soon!!!!
  2. I am a mess. hehehe. I had my band placed Dec 2005 with my first fill March 2006. I never went back to my surgeon, I was not happy with him. I went recently to a new surgeon and received a 2 cc fill. Now, my first fill, I am not sure what he did...I believe .8cc and afterwards I was fine. This fill, I think I am too tight. 5 weeks post fill and I cannot eat more than yougart, ricotta cheese, strained Soups. I cannot eat peas, tuna, eggs or its back up. Because its been so long on this liquid only, I treated myself today to a chocolate shake!!! YIKES!!!!!!!! Cannot do THAT!!!!! But I was having a pitty party!! :hungry: I hate to get have fliud removed, so I will deal with what I have. I see the surgeon in about 3 weeks. I just want to know what you here think. I saw on another board different opinions that I didn't agree with. From what I am seeing here, I am in agreement with responses I am seeing posted here. Thank you for your help!! :faint:
