But, she is a "Sucess Story"!!!1! I would get slapped on the hand for saying what she really is.

I have to admit that I am really glad it wasnt anything worse. Although I had my mind made up as to what I would do if it was an erosion. And I was pretty okay with whatever happened. It was just a weekend of codeine poping mind bending BS. On top of that a million other things are going on... It really did suck. But the surgery was really simple and quick, and the surgeon only had to open me up in two spots (one on the left just below my ribs, and my belly button) and he pulled out (he says anyway) about a foot of extra tube. It was sitting all curled up on top of my diaphragm. So it all worked out ok.

I think a little of all three with a side serve of stupidity. Who BRAGS about it? Seriously?

Nor mine. I almost passed out just after the 2km mark last night. Now, I am a fairly bright sort of girl. So why would I think that running less than 48 hours after a laparoscopicsurgery is a good idea? Now I am even *more* swollen and uncomfortable and by golly am I sore. Yup. Not one of my best moves. And you look super cute in the new running top Salsa!

I have never had a PB with stomach acids. When I have puked, yes, then I have had that wonderful half digested - acidic puke taste. But as it has been explained to me, by a doctor, there is little difference between PB'ing and vomitting for the band. They are as bad as each other. That is why 99.99% of bandsters AVOID PB'ing. Now that I think of it, it sounds an awful lot like an eating disorder.

Serial posting, I know... But holy numbnuts Batman! PB'ing is a tool, and it's ok to do it several times a day provided it's not a proper vomit? You have *got* to be kidding, right? How long till an erosion or slip?

I have been offline for *days*, and even I know who you all are talking about.

I think you will both be very happy with Dr Copp. He is a keeper.

Thanks ladies. I needed to get it out. I needed to tell someone. Anyone. After dealing with everything that needed doing, it still doesn't feel real. I mean, I saw him in his bed in the nursing home. I hugged him, and felt that he was gone, and cold. But every time I looked at him, I thought he was about to wake up. He was 94 years old, had a great life, and the last few days were really bad for him, so he is so much better off now. He is at peace. He isn't in pain anymore. Thanks again. (Oh, and that *does* suck She. Huge hugs to you too)

I think this is a touch dramatic. How about saying; "I screwed up today. I know not to do that again! Tomorrow is a new day" Same sort of thing with a positive spin, if you get what I mean. And no, no one is perfect, but pointing out someone elses flaws to prop up your own argument is pretty sad. Own what you did, because what YOU do is the only thing in this world you can control.

Posting just to say I am not erroded, the tube needs to be shortened. And less than 20 minutes after I had my scope MIL called to tell DH and I that FIL had just died. Today was a shithouse day. RIP FIL. You were a pain in the ass, but you were *our* pain in the ass, and we will miss you more than words can express.

I have two options. Try in vain to get some sleep, or give up and get up. *Sigh*

Why am I awake? It's 4am for the love of Thor. I should be sleeping.

Not sill at ALL! Fab! Congrats!!

Know what I *really* hate? When you have to be scoped. I don't wanna. Nope.

Congrats on getting a date!

I know that the places I eat at (when I do eat out) don't offer doggy bags. Places here in QLD that do takeaway as well as eat in offer dogy bags, but most places that don't do takeaway don't do doggy bags. If you get what I mean! And I don't think I'd want the crap on the kids menu. Yes, they are smaller, but 9/10 times they are just crap. Nuggets, chips, hotdogs and fried fish are not my #1 selection when I look at the menu! LOL. I would rather pay for a full serve of an adult meal and just leave what I don't eat.

Close to three and a half years later, no problems.

Two years after this was first posted, and I first replied and have now been at goal for two years, I can say without a doubt that I don't hate my boobs. No, they are not perky or very full. But when I have a bra on, they look fab, and I don't shy away from a mirror when I am naked.

I live in my own little world. But you all knew that already.

The wait time depends on where you live. In Queensland it can be years (I heard somewhere it was like 2 or 3 years?) So in some states, private is the way to go.

You are so welcome to crash the party Snowbird. It's all good.

Thanks for the invite She. I finally got my backside here. I have a house full of kids at the moment, so I will read the thread when I get some quiet time.

No... It's Mr Stick.

Snowbird has it right. We are more fun (and redundant)... It was set up back when these groups were invite only. Guess that isn't the case anymore (insert sad face here). But did you know, as the person who set the group up, I am a mod here? I said I never wanted to be a mod here, but there you go! LMAO
