  1. I am enjoying the site! Thanks for the recommendation
  2. Thx I just joined. My username is the same as here. I will be selling Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Lululemon, etc...
  3. I picked up a small can of room spray just in case.
  4. Thanks for the tips. I will start packing today. @@Half of Bri I stuff towels under the door and have the black out shades in my bedroom. I am most definitely taking my eye mask.
  5. I am hoping it's okay too. When do you go for your scan?
  6. Best wishes to all you sleevers tomorrow!
  7. Hope all went well. Keep us posted when you are feeling up to it
  8. I use castor oil for my lashes, eyebrows, and hair and it works for me. I get a q-tip to apply it to my lashes. I've used the peroxide in the past for my teeth didn't use it long enough to see if I got results. I mix vitamin E oil in my night time cream and it makes my skin softer and I don't have any wrinkles (hopefully that won't change after the procedure). I use coconut oil on my skin and sometimes as a deep conditioner for my hair mixed with tea tree. Hope this helps.
  9. I am scheduled for December 8th also and have to do one week pre-op.
  10. That is great advice. At one point I was so consumed with the boards and reading the good and bad I was starting to get cold feet. I backed away from the boards and when I came back it was much different. What do you think you did to have a "easy breezy" recovery?
  11. Haha, that post was made days before I made this one. Glad you are better. Keep sharing your journey!
  12. I cannot say if they will cancel your surgery or not. I knew that I was anemic and wanted to have the procedure so I started taking drops of Ionic Iron 22mg daily by Trace Minerals. I would mix it with my orange juice to help absorption. My last blood work my iron levels were in normal range so were my others readings except my bad cholesterol was slightly high.
  13. I quit cold turkey. My doc requires 3 months of no smoking. I was mad at myself for smoking as I could have had my procedure in August if I didn't have my lips on that stick! You can do it!!!!
  14. One week of pre-op. The nut had said 2 weeks but doc overruled her because of my BMI. Thank goodness!
  15. Yes it is 36.6. My surgeon did not mention that I had to lose any weight prior to the procedure? Did yours?
  16. Time seems to be going by fast....big day is scheduled for December 8th. I guess I'd better get to the grocery store. Thankfully I only have to do a week of pre-op diet but I'm stoked!!!!!
  17. Runner1 so glad it's not a leak. Get some rest and I pray that you get immediate relief from the pain.
  18. I know it hasn't been easy and I'm glad you shared your story. I hope everything is much better.
  19. @@NoMoreFatGuy sorry to hear about your challenges. I hope you are much better. What advice would you give to an upcoming sleever? Did your doctor leave a drain in? I did see where Runner1 showed last active Nov 12, 2015 but I am not sure if any posts were made or that means that she was on the site that day. I hope she is better.
  20. I hope you are feeling much better!
  21. Yippie!!! Dr. Wegner on December 8. Who's your doc and when is yours?
