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.
