  8. Hey - you will be brought into hospital area with any friend or family that is with you - get undressed and sit in private room and hang out for a few - then you walk to OR and hop up on table - staff is so calming - doc comes in and last thing you remember till you wake up - they ask if you are jittery and will give you Xanax in IV if you want - then sleepy time again till you wake in room - an overnite stay in a room with a great view of the city - next morning off you go - really they have it down to a science they have done so very many - it is best thing ever

  10. :biggrin:oh my goodness I finally understand this whole thing - your residual fat pad explanation is the best explanation I have ever gotten thanks AURA114@AOL.COM
  11. Hey - I have been looking inline and asking questions I am sure you will be just fine -the body can take just so much trauma and then it needs time to heal - be strong and maybe a touch of antideprressents - no kidding - firm believer in them - Lillian aka aura114@aol.com
  12. hey wrote to you before Xmas - Dr Fielding did me too (so to speak ) also went to family in Alabama - Hope Hull- remember ?? Well anyhow - is there such a thing as surgery to correct fat calves and ankles? thanks aura114@aol.com
  13. OK here goes - so a few problems - number one is when I got my last fill I was sure that was "the one" - now two weeks later I feel as though I may not be tight enough once again - anyone else feel fine for a while then feel like you need to tighten again? Second - bathroom blues- don't seem to go - soory - yucky question- tried exlas and no success - any tricks for me banded November 1 2007 NYU Dr Fielding - love them all there- lost @ 32-33 lbs so far thanks aka Lillian
