"Chunky parts" lol! The auto correct on my new phone sometimes gets me. ????AllofMe.

I am halfway through the posts and seems everyone is different and has different experiences. I figure if supplements like Biotin don't do any harm and may do some good, then try it.

do you know what dosage the GNC brand is? I paid 5.00 for 3,000 mcg tabs 60 in a bottle. I think GNC's deal may be better. Let me know. Thanks

I've been experiencing a lot of Hair loss. Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to stop this madness and how long does this last?

Aww. I had a melt down too. So I had my husband take me out for all you can eat Soup and bread sticks at Olive Garden. Granted I ate the broth and he had the bread sticks and the chicly parts of the soup. It was fun and kinda romantic. Good luck. And be kind to yourself. Solids are just a few weeks away. AllofMe.

I am feeling the same way except when I drink my Protein Shakes. It makes me so nausea. I drink Premier Protein anyone have any tips on a better one ?

It's the Intensive care after surgery, I think it's the normal procedure here (I'm in France). My surgery went well without complication but the medical team put me there after surgery to render my body back to normal condition. My surgeon already told me before surgery that they will keep me in the hospital 5 days post-op, then he gave me 1 month off work. Here in France the Social security pays for the pre-op exams and operation. The employer gets the compensation for my sick leave and my operation is confidential meaning by law, the employer cannot ask what my operation is for.

So that ICU wasn't just the normal recovery room/ward used for any other type of surgery/procedure when general anesthetic is used?

Before the surgery I couldn't wait for it! Then during the pre-op I lost 17 lbs on my own (low carb diet) and I actually had a second thought about the surgery.

Plus I had to stay 1 night alone at the hospital the night before, I was kind of freeked out. Then in the morning I was alsoo alone when the nurse came for me they dropped some kind of anti anxiety under my tongue before brining me to the OR. So while waiting in the waiting room I was like getting high on the drung, I was actually singing the whole time and then fell asleep.

The worst part was when I woke up in the ICU, 5 tubes all over my body. After I saw my husband briefly (I was pretty much on anesthesia) I felt naussea so I pushed myself to sleep then the med team came to check on me every 3 hours, each time they injected insulin, take the blood preasure, inject medicine, check my blood sugar, my temperature. It's been 4 days like this until I kept woke up every 3 hours for more than a week later. 2 days later my psychiatrice came to visit me I actually told him that "You know maybe I made the wrong decision about this" but he didn't take it seriously (he cleared me for the surgery) he said, Oh, don't be silly, you're on anesthesia and pain killer, you'll be fine, it will change your life, you'll see.

I stuck in bed for 4 days, the pain's actually gone on day 3 but I sill felt uncomfortable because of the tubes. I told myself, it's goning to be better tomorrow and tried to sleep early every night.

Now I fall asleep at 11 pm and wake up at 6 am to embrace the new me everyday. And I think it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

You say they injected insulin and checked your sugar levels ... were you diabetic before surgery or was that something routine?

Count me in to every thing every single one of you have said. No you are not alone. One minute I'm so pumped, the next I'm second guessing the entire thing, then back to being excited, then back to thinking what the heck am I doing, then excited to wear clothes that fit, then the fear of life after the sleeve, then up down, up down.. Geish!

I'm going to Mexico, alone, then have to come back to Canada and a few days later drive eight hours to work to an isolated area where there's no town or even kitchen facilities.. So yup one minute I'm yea, then the next eeekk. I'm not worried about the surgery as much as the life that follows.

Wow, I think you're very brave for doing the remote thing. I am sure with support of these forums you will succeed

Just thought I would share a 2 week post op pic of my tummy tuck... I am still very swollen so keep that in mind when looking!

Here is a pic of my arms a well, I didn't feel like taking my arm garments off but atleast you can see how skinny they are.. I will post a pic later with no garments so you can see the scar line. I also had my breast lifted and implants put in.. I chose 375cc's and my surgeon chose 375cc's mentor smooth round high profile. I decided against putting pics of them online without clothing, I just feel better about it not being naked so sorry : (

Your boobs don't look high, just perky. You're probably so used to them sagging is all. Looking great and thank you so much for b logging your experience
