Oh my gosh! I leave for a few months and LBT got plastic surgery!!! Ha Ha! A facelift!

Anyways, if anyone actually remembers me on here, plz say hello..... Sorry I have been incommunicado for so long, busy busy busy....

Does anyone know what happened to the old before and after photo thread that Delarla started years ago??

Also, what happened to my infamous search button in the tool bar?

Gonna take some getting used to but as we all know.... change is GOOD!

Hello to all my old friends and hello to all the new I have yet to meet here.:cursing:

Bumping because I still feel its important. I told this story and advised a friend to get the collar and she didnt a year ago. What happened you ask???? Well her two dogs were apparently playing in the backyard and she found her Akita dead from strangulation and her Shephard nearly dead attached at the jaw. All at xmas time!!!

Please people, switch collars!!!!

Wanted to post these at 4 1/2 months post op pics. I am currently at 6 months post op and they look more fantabulous! I shouldn't have gotten so concerned and freaked right after the surgery. They just needed time to heal and then they looked great!!! I am very happy with them now.

I am curious as near goal, I am now a deflated D cup. Would you mind telling me how they feel? I did pay a lot because I wanted someone who really knew how to work with larger breasts and wanted the BEST. I also wanted them to look real and natural.

Do they feel different? Amazingly, I have been told they feel real too. Laying down you can kind of tell if you squeeze.

Do they feel like you have something under there? At first I felt wierd, but just like the lapband, I just knew I had something done. Now I don't even think about it at all and they are just "mine".

Did you regain full sensation? I actually went Hyper sensitive. I have more sensitivity now then I did before. This is good and bad because now I can't really have any "nipple roughness" which I used to like a lot. But gentle play sends me over the edge.

Hope all this helped......

Okay, the consensus is in now. They look FABULOUS now they have had time to heal, unswell and drop. My doctor rocks!

This is 4 1/2 months post op from my nipple incision scar for the lift and implants.

I'm not touching them.... not until I need to.

This may sound horrible newgirl07 but I really don't know. I think I have the silicone gel and I think they are round and smooth textured but I am just guessing at what I overhear. I was REALLY scared to get them done and I have backed out of getting them done several times because I had "too much information" so I just put my boobies in his hands and told him I didn't really want to know because I didn't want to back out. Silly I know, but it worked.

Well, now that I have had mine done I can change my poll vote. I did not lose any sensation at all and I am actually more super charged sensitive than before.

Went to doc appt!

Doc showed me some "before" pictures he had taken of me. My right was a bit odd and smaller to begin with and the left was naturally wider. He told me that in a year if I am not happy, I can have more put in the bag and have them bigger and fuller but wants me to live with them for awhile before I go off the deep edge on getting more in.

Also, gotta tell ya all that I did some Botox. THAT STUFF ROCKS!! I saw an immediate difference and now 2 days later even better! It stung like a bitch but allllllllll worth it. Highly recommend the Botox for foreheads and crows feet!!!

Does anyone know who the girl is that is pictured on this site? Is she a former bandster? Alexxxxxxxxx, got an answer?

Every single day since my banding I have to start the day with something hot. It can be tea, Water, broth, whatever, but cold will get stuck in a NY minute if it is before 11am. Started with banding and never changed. The warm liquid seems to open me up and allow me to take food for the day. weird but now it is just a way of life and seems normal to me now.

Greetings Popsicle! Love the name btw.

You will be amazed at how many bandsters pop out of the woodwork when you start snooping around. Also try the "Indiana" board and introduce yourself there. There are many local people that get together in some states to form their own support groups.

I hope you find the answers you are seeking here. There is a TON of information archived in this site with really good advice, humor mixed with a bit of drama. LOL

Good luck on your weight loss journey and welcome to LBT.

I love all of you guys and gals. This thread is one of the main reasons I am still here after more than 2 years banded. The support, love and constructive criticism is well rec'd and I thank you all for your kindness support and unconditional love. Only those of us that have seen the other side (fat) can appreciate the true changes and body as we do. Thank you again to all of you who have taken part on this discussion. I will post more pics as I progress in healing. I will let you know what happens this Monday after I see the doctor. I hope this thread will be of help to many of the members as well as the guests that visit this forum seeking information.

My two favorite forms of exercise are good ol' fashioned housework (the deep and dirty kind) and Wii

My PS surgeon offered the option of a "pain pump" so that I could get the pain meds without swallowing a pill. I didn't need it though and I could swallow the pills broken in 1/2.

Can you explain what they do exactly when they do this wedge breast lift? I know one day I will need a lift, but didn't want the veritcal scar.

How about nipple sensitivity? That was a big concern for me if I had a lift done, if it would mess with the nerves too much and lose nipple sensitivity.

Thanks,Audree

The wedge lift is done with patients that have their breast tissue intact and only have a "nipple below the crease" rather than a "nipple pointing down or no breast tissue". So essentially, I have 2 incisions in each breast. One around the nipple and another under the breast in the crease. They take the tissue and stretch it down to the crease incision and replace the nipple.

I was worried about nipples too, if anything they are OVERLY sensitive right now which I am hoping is going to calm down a bit. Even shower Water is sensitive when it hits them right.

ouachita, hmmmmm now you got me thinkin' about joining the competition lol

What???? It is well known that black guys have larger dicks? And shoe size? Where have I been? Geez, and here I married a white guy with a size 8 shoe. I think I got shafted. Pun intended. <br /> <br /> Lighten up people. Don't take all this stuff so seriously. <br /> <br /> BTW,Laurend, you really should be careful about your swift judgments Just my opinion geez I love to stir a pot!

LOL, well I have been riding hard, but not on a horse so to speak. Never bothered me at all. But running is an issue. Other than that, I LOVE TO HAVE BIG BOOBIES.

Thank you big sexy for the male perspective, I have been waiting for a guy to join the mix on this topic.

I think I will express my concerns and find out what remedies I will have but I don't think they will be willing to do anything to them to correct them until after 6 months at least. Who knows where I will be then, but I will keep posting pics at different stages.

I don't really care so much about the money (or getting some back) as much as I do about having the great boobs.

I agree, I like them with arms down, but arms up I am extremely troubled by the look. Again, not sure if it is a right handed issue or not?

((sigh))

Stay tuned, I will keep you updated after my July 30th appt.

My hardest part is knowing that someday I will have to deal with losing my band due to complications or bandlife. I wish I didn't feel so much like a ticking timebomb and wish the band was designed for lifelong rather than longterm.

By the way, the back pain I would guess is still trapped gas. I had HUGE shoulder issues when I had mine. Maybe this is it too? And sounds to me like you may be pushing yourself a little too hard too fast. Just concentrate on the healing right now. The weight loss will come sure enough! Congrats on banding, welcome to bandland!

Why are you eating solid foods at only 8 days post op????? I have never heard of that, usually you have stages or at least some type of post op diet plan.

Your band is not filled. You most likely will not have restriction until you are filled.

I had 380 cc's in each. I really think the doctor didn't put the full 380 in the right tho. Unless, of course it is the whole "right handed" theory? Dunno.

I was a large C, small D before I had the lift and augmentation though so I am used to the large size.

By the way, I am very pleased with the number of views of this thread. It tells me that people want to see and want to know. Thank you everyone for all of your love and support. I love you all!

Thought maybe some of the newbie bandsters needed some encouragement. Here are my scars at 2 1/2 years post op. The only one even noticable is the port scar, all the others are pretty well blended and gone. I used Cocoa butter and pure Vit E oil on them for all of this time once the incisions could have them on. I used it every day for about a year and then once a week for a year, now it is about once every other month with just the cocoa butter.

Yes, I did get a PM about kids being able to access this site, yada yada yada. But I would rather post the pictures to hundreds of adult women who use this site daily and help them make their choices with the knowledge of what is going on. To me, breasts are natural and beautiful (hopefully) and I have never been shy about being naked (except when I was at my largest and was uncomfortable with it). Now, I am not skinny minnie but I am comfortable naked. I don't get "gross" with the pictures so I don't consider it posting "free porn" as someone stated. I have only gotten 1 complaint but my aim is not to offend people, but share my experiences with other bandsters. And I will continue to do so as long as the wonderful and talented Alex has this site for us.

Right now, I am a full D. Some styles I can do a DD but I wanted a FULL DD.

The slight nipple difference with arms down won't make me run to get a redo but I think that with 8k, I want a little more "perfection". I could have done them for about 6k but I chose to go with someone that was known for their work and paid extra for it.

The size difference isn't noticable in clothes/bra at all.

As far as the Lipo goes, I am happy with the "hourglass" he gave me but I have a lot of work to do on my own and I knew that going in.

I didn't expect perfection but I did expect the perfect attention. Maybe I am just vain, but I like the attention that boobies (nice ones) get me. At least I am honest about that quality of mine huh?

I am also wondering, I am right handed, and the problem of the "fast dropping" is on the right side breast. Think that has something to do with it?????
